Webster’s Dictionary defines innovation as the introduction of something new or a new idea, method, or device. The WW600 Multi-Bilge with Inteli-Mute is both. In the size of a 3 x 5 index card, you have an information panel that has both audible and visual alarms, monitors up to 6 separate compartments and has an intelligent mute button. Sporting both audible and visual alarms, the Multi-Bilge meets the Coast Guard’s regulations concerning Bilge High Level Alarms [182.530]. Fabricated with a built-in stainless internal piezo buzzer, this unit has raised backlit buttons to allow the brightly lit LEDs to be seen from all angles. Inteli-Mute ensures that the mute feature cannot be “accidentally” left on or forgotten. Once the mute button is pressed, Inteli-Mute first silences the audible alarm, leaving the back-lit Mute button flashing as a visual reminder. Inteli-Mute then waits 5 minutes and checks to see if an alarm condition still exists. If so, Inteli-Mute reactivates the audible alarm, warning that an alarm condition is still present and needs to be resolved. If after 5 minutes, when Inteli-Mute checks for an alarm condition, there is no alarm condition or the alarm condition has been resolved, Inteli-Mute cancels the mute, reactivating the audible alarm and resets the device, waiting for the next alert. If another alarm condition is detected while muted, Inteli-Mute immediately reactivates the audible alarm to warn of the new condition.
