IMPORTANT INFORMATION
OLAS N2K INSTALLATION
The OLAS T2, OLAS Tag and OLAS FLOAT-ON are considered OLAS transmitters. They emit a Bluetooth
signal which is monitored by the OLAS receivers. The OLAS N2K is supplied with the OLAS T2 transmitter,
however any OLAS Tag or OLAS FLOAT-ON can be tracked.
The OLAS receivers track the OLAS transmitters. OLAS receivers are:
1. OLAS N2K
2. Guardian
3. Core
4. OLAS Mobile application
5. Extender - This operates as a repeater to increase the range of the OLAS N2K, Guardian and Core
The OLAS mobile application allows the OLAS transmitters to be used as a MOB/proximity alarm if
used solely with OLAS transmitters. When an OLAS transmitter goes out of range an alarm is set off and
overboard screens are activated.
When the OLAS mobile application is connected to the OLAS N2K, Guardian or Core it allows greater
control over the OLAS transmitters that are being tracked.
For iOS search for ‘OLAS: Wireless Marine Safety’ on the App Store.
For Android search for ‘Exposure OLAS – MOB Alert’ on the Google Play Store.
The OLAS N2K has been designed for recreational marine use. The design conforms to appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations but for optimal performance correct installation is required.
For optimum performance the mobile device and the OLAS N2K should be located at least 0.5 metres from
any equipment transmitting radio signals including VHF Radios, antennas and cables.
- 0.75 metre Extension cable is available for the control switch. P/N: EXPOLASSWITCHEXT
- 1 metre extension cable is available for the NMEA 2000 connection. P/N: EXPOLASN2KDCABLE1M
WARNING: Do not attempt to install the OLAS N2K until you know that the power supply is switched OFF.
Where required use the supplied wire connectors which are suitable for connecting wire dimension 20-
18AWG. If wire extensions are required use 18AWG or thicker wire.
Ensure all wire connections are waterproof using marine specic connectors, such as heat shrinkable
butt splices.
1. When selecting a location to mount your OLAS N2K hub check there is an NMEA 2000 backbone
within 1 metre. Additional 1 metre drop cables can be purchased if an extension is required
P/N:EXPOLASN2KDCABLE1M.
2. The control switch mounting location should be within 0.5 metres of the OLAS N2K hub. A 0.75
metre extension cable can be purchased for the control switch P/N: EXPOLASSWITCHEXT.
3. For connection into the engine stop system the OLAS N2K hub will need to be within 0.5 metres
of the existing stop switch or associated wires. The wires from the OLAS N2K engine cable can
be extended with 18AWG or thicker wire. Ensure a watertight connection by using waterproof
connectors.
