The ACR OLAS Tag is a wearable device that incorporates Overboard Location Alert System (OLAS) technology. When the tag is separated from its “virtual tether,” the OLAS mobile application detects it within 8 seconds and triggers an alarm on mobile phones. The app also records the latitude and longitude of the incident using the device's gps. This information helps the crew locate the person who fell overboard with visual signals and bearing data. All location data and the time of the incident are stored for the rescue services.
If you are boating alone, you can activate the Solo mode on the app (requires 2G phone signal). In case of separation from your boat, the OLAS app will automatically send a text message to your emergency contact with your GPS coordinates. With one phone or tablet, you can track up to 6 OLAS Transmitters, and each transmitter can be tracked by an unlimited number of devices. If you need to track more transmitters, you can add the ACR CORE base station or Guardian Engine Kill Switch and MOB alarm, allowing you to monitor up to 15 transmitters.
The ACR OLAS Tag is a compact and smart transmitter that can be easily attached to adults, children, pets, or objects such as overboard floatation devices or Personal Locator Beacons. It is portable and can be taken from one boat to another to ensure continuous protection. Each tag comes with a universal silicone wrist strap with a stainless steel buckle and a user-replaceable CR2477 Battery.
The ACR OLAS system is scalable to meet your boating needs. While the range of the OLAS transmitters covers vessels up to 40 ft in length, there are other ACR OLAS products (transmitters and receivers) available to provide additional safety features and track larger crews on bigger vessels. You can also use the ACR OLAS Tag with the OLAS Guardian Engine Kill Switch or OLAS Core Base Station as a more permanent solution, eliminating the need for a phone.
The ACR OLAS is a versatile and cost-effective safety solution for everyone onboard, including adults, children, and pets. It offers integration with the ACR OLAS Free Mobile App and can be attached in various ways (wrist, life jacket, dog collar, Personal Locator Beacon). The tag is waterproof (IP67 rated) and compatible with Bluetooth 4.1. It features a low battery indicator that can be monitored through the ACR OLAS app. The battery lasts for approximately 3,500 hours when armed and is easily replaceable (CR2477). By adding the OLAS Extender, you can expand the system coverage from 40 ft. to 100 ft.
