Connecting Base Station
The LifeTag system Base Station has to be connected to a 12 V dc power source and to the Alarm
Buzzer:
• Temporary connections are required to enable an initial site survey to be carried out.
• Permanent connections are required when the system is fully installed.
An ancillary switched output is also available from the Base Station. This provides a 12 V output when
an alarm occurs.
After you have made any connections to the Base Station, gently pull the wires, to
ensure that the connections are secure.
Connect SeaTalk cable
The SeaTalk cable provides power in and data connections for the Base Station. If SeaTalk is available
use this to connect the Base Station to SeaTalk, as in
Figure 6
. If SeaTalk is not available, use the
SeaTalk cable to connect the Base Station to a 12 V dc power source, as in
Figure 7
.

The connection procedures are described here once for you to refer
to as necessary, whether you are making temporary connections for
the site survey or making the permanent connections for full
installation.
To connect your Base Station, ensure the power supply for the Base
Station is switched off, then remove the Base Station cover.
