Sales Literature
The ED570 Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) is designed to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability that could lead to marine accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of the Watch (OOW) and automatically alerts the Master or another qualified crew member if for any reason the OOW becomes incapable of performing his duties. This is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert first the OOW and, if he is not responding, then alert the Master or other qualified crew members
