General description
The purpose of a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) is to monitor bridge activity
and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents. The system monitors the
awareness of the Officer of the Watch (OOW) and automatically alerts the Captain or another
qualified OOW if for any reason the OOW becomes incapable of performing the OOW's duties.
This purpose is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert first the OOW and, if he
is not responding, then to alert the Captain or another qualified OOW. Additionally, the BNWAS
may provide the OOW with a means of calling for immediate assistance if required. The
BNWAS should be operational whenever the ship's heading or track control system is
engaged, unless inhibited by the Captain.
New regulations from IMOs Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) will require carriage of a Bridge
Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) complying with IMO performance standards. For
existing ships, the equipment should be installed in connection with the first survey after the
following deadlines:
Existing passenger ships and ships over 3,000 GT: 1 July 2012.
Existing ships over 500 GT: 1 July 2013.
Existing ships over 150 GT: 1 July 2014.
New ships over 150 GT and all new passenger ships constructed after 1 July
2011 shall be equipped with a Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System.

Operating instructions
The Bridge Watch can only be activated and deactivated by use of a key. Therefore, only
authorised personnel (usually the captain) can decide if the bridge watch alarm should be
active or not.
When the key is turned on, it is possible to change BRIDGE WATCH MODE and TIMER for 30
seconds.
BRIDGE WATCH MODE:
Select MANUAL:
In this mode BW-800 is always on and LED for Bridge Watch ACTIVE is illuminated.
Select AUTO:
In this mode BW-800 is only active when the ship's heading or track control system is
engaged.
When active: The LED for Bridge Watch ACTIVE is illuminated.
Not active: The LED for Bridge Watch STANDBY is illuminated.
Timer setting:
Turn the key on and adjust the timer by activating the + or button.
The display on the BW-800 unit is always showing the dormant setting indication.
Visual alarm:
When the timer has run out, a visual warning is activated. This gives the OOW time to reset the
timer before the audio alarm 1 is activated. If the OOW of the ship has not reset the timer
within 15 seconds, audio alarm 1 will be activated. The reset of the timer can be done in two
different ways: manually by activating a reset button or by ensuring a constant movement
(activity) sensed by the motion sensor on the bridge.
Audio alarm 1:
This alarm is placed on the bridge and is meant to ensure a wakening of e.g. a drowsy ships
master. Both visual alarm and audio alarm 1 is now active. The alarm can be switched off by
resetting the timer manually by activating a reset button. If the timer is not reset after 15
seconds audio alarm 2 is activated.
Audio alarm 2:
This alarm is placed where the back-up officer and/or master (captain) is presumed to be.
Now visual alarm and audio alarm 1 and 2 are active. The timer can be set from 60-180
seconds during installation, to give time to the back-up officer to react on the alarm. If the alarm
is not switched off and there is still no activity on the bridge after 60-180 seconds audio alarm 3
is activated.
Audio alarm 3:
This alarm is placed at the locations of further crew members capable of taking corrective
actions. All alarms remain active until the reset button is activated.
Selector unit:
With the Selector unit it is possible for the OOW to select individually any of the navigation
officers or the captain as being the assigned back-up officer for receiving the second stage
remote audible alarm. Whenever captain is not selected as the assigned back-up officer, the
captain cabin and office shall be included in the list of locations receiving the third stage remote
audible alarm.

Emergency calls:
BW-800 also has an option for connection of emergency calls. This will be in the form of a push
button. When activated for 2 seconds the alarm will automatically go to alarm 2 and
subsequently to alarm 3 if no action is taken. Using this function the ships master/OOW is able
to call for assistance if needed.
The emergency call can be switched off by a push on the reset button for 2 seconds.
Alarm Transfer input:
BW-800 can be inter-connected with an alarm management system (AMS) for activation of the
BNWAS sequence of indications and alarms when Category A alarms are not acknowledged or
silenced in due time. Activation of the reset function during these sequences will cancel the
alarm transfer but will not silence or acknowledge the relevant Category A alarm on the AMS.
The alarm can be switched off by a push on the reset button for 2 seconds.

Installation
Main Power:
Connect power cables (24Vdc) via external fuse from ships main power supply.
Maximum 4 Ah fuse.
Backup power supply:
Connect power cables (24Vdc) via external fuse from a battery backup system able to supply
BW-800 for a period of 6 hours (min. 6 Ah battery backup)
Maximum 4 Ah fuse.
Reset units:
Connect external reset units with visual alarm (801). The reset function should only be
available in positions on the bridge giving proper look out and preferably adjacent to visual
indications. The reset function should be easily accessible from the conning position, the
workstation for navigating and manoeuvring, the workstation for monitoring and the bridge
wings.
Motion sensor:
Mount the Motion sensor/sensors.
Connect the motion sensor wire to pin 5, 6 and 7.
Use the standard mounting bracket when mounting the motion sensor.
In addition, a few important rules must be observed while selecting a mounting location:
A. Microwave radiation passes through glass and non-metallic walls. Be sure to adjust the
MW range so that it does not exceed the room limits, or else motion in the next room or
moving traffic along the outer side of the wall will cause the MW detector to trip.
B. Large reflecting objects (especially metals) in the coverage area can distort the
microwave detector's coverage pattern.
C. If two motion sensors are installed in the same room or on opposite sides of a shared
wall, they should not face each other and must be mounted at least 2 meters apart.
D. The motion sensor area shall only be available in positions on the bridge giving proper
look out. Find more information about settings in chapter 11.
Heading or track control system:
Connect the ship's heading or track control system (e.g. the auto pilot) to the remote activation
input. Low voltage (0Vdc) will activate BW-800 (normally done by a closed contact).
If the Auto pilot has no output for BNWAS: Some times the technician have used the voltage to
the "autopilot active" lamp inside the autopilot to activate a relay. If it is not possible to connect
the autopilot: Mount a wire from pin 9 to pin 10 and BW-800 will be always on in AUTO mode.

Visual Indications
The dual color LED is used to signal various alarm and trouble messages as shown :
Visual Indication:
None
Steady green (5 s)
Flashing green
Steady red (5 s)
Flashing red and
green (alternately)
Significance:
No detection
MW walk-test detection
PIR walk-test detection
Alarm: MW + PIR detection
- Trouble or masking is being detected by the self test circuitry
- Initial warm-up routine (stops 60 seconds after power up).
Notes:
During walk testing, the green light glows steadily (MW detection) or flashes (PIR detection),
depending on which one of the two detectors discovered the movement first. Upon subsequent
discovery of the movement by the other detector, the green light goes off and the red light
glows (alarm).
If the LED maintains alternate red and green flashing beyond the warm-up period, a
malfunction or masking has been diagnosed. Replace the unit without delay.
The DIP switch mode selector is mounted on the units PC board (see Figure 5). It controls four
functions as demonstrated in the figure below:
