OLAS Exposure Series Core
The Core is a compact, portable overboard alarm and emergency light system. It
reacts within 2 seconds of a person falling overboard and can easily be switched
between vessels without the time and cost of wired installation. The Core can
connect with up to 25 OLAS transmitters and cover a vessel up to 50ft.
What it does
The Core wirelessly tracks OLAS transmitters around the vessel. When a person
wearing a transmitter falls overboard, the in-built alarm is triggered, and a
high-power emergency red light gives a visual indication and illuminates the
surrounding area, all within 4 seconds.
As well as triggering the alarm, the Core connects with the free OLAS mobile
application, providing an easy-to-read arrow back to the alert position plus
essential MOB last known position information and auto-populated VHF prompt
screens to support the crew during the stress of a recovery operation.
Why use the OLAS CORE
The Core gives skippers complete confidence that in the event of a MOB incident,
the entire crew is alerted instantly and can take immediate recovery actions.
Losing a crew member overboard is every sailor’s worst nightmare. The larger the
boat, the more difficult it can be to know immediately that a MOB incident has
occurred, especially in the dark with crew members forward of the mast.
It can happen all too easily, even in benign conditions. Wearing a physical
tether, whilst advisable, is not always practical, and indeed, falling overboard
on a tether has been proven to be no guarantee of survival if the boat is at
full speed and the skipper is not immediately aware of the incident.
Who is it for?
The Core connects to 25 crew members via wearable OLAS tag transmitters,
creating a virtual lifeline. Larger vessels can be fitted with an OLAS Extender
which increases the range from 50ft to 100ft. Suitable for anyone heading out on
the water looking for added security and peace of mind. The OLAS tags are
compact, lightweight, and have user-replaceable batteries, suitable for adults,
children, pets, or important items that may fall overboard. The T2 OLAS
transmitter has a rechargeable battery.
CORE Advantages
OLAS Integration
Any OLAS transmitting devices (OLAS Tags or OLAS Float-On LED Lights) within
range can be tracked by the CORE, allowing freedom for the crew to move around
the deck with total confidence that an early warning system will alert them
instantly of a MOB incident, so a swift recovery can be actioned.
Connects to 25 OLAS Transmitters (OLAS T2 or Tag or OLAS Float-On LED Lights)
Connecting up to 15 OLAS transmitters allows the CORE to be used onboard larger
vessels. OLAS transmitters are not only relevant to tracking crew members;
simply by attaching a transmitter to objects such as MOB flotation devices, the
dog, or a yacht tender, users can always be aware if something has gone
missing.
Portable/low power consumption – 5V USB
The OLAS CORE is a portable base station that is powered by a 5V USB power
supply, enabling it to be used on different vessels without requiring hard
wiring.
Audible and Visual Alarms
An 85db alarm will sound to indicate an OLAS transmitter has gone out of range,
and a high-power emergency red light will illuminate, offering a clear visual
indication of a MOB alert, whilst also acting as a light to illuminate the area
to aid with recovery at night. The CORE can also be linked up with the OLAS app
so that alarms can be placed in multiple locations on the vessel.

Expand the OLAS CORE Coverage Area
An OLAS Extender can be used with the OLAS CORE to cover areas where the
Transmitter signal may be blocked. This allows use on larger vessels up to 80ft
and the ability to scale the system up as required.
System Feedback
The CORE indicates how many OLAS transmitters are connected during the setup
process.
Transmitters can be added/removed from the system either using the mobile app or
through a simple integrated switching process.
Mobile App Features
The Core is easily operated via the OLAS App, free to download from the App
Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android. The OLAS app requires a
