The system pairs a non-mercury float switch with an in-dash gauge that delivers both a visual indicator and an 85 decibel audible alarm, so a rising water condition is impossible to miss whether the operator is looking at the dash or not. This makes the 33ALA well suited for any unmanned space where early warning of flooding is critical to protecting the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alarm system complies with CFR 182.530, which requires a visual and audible alarm in each unmanned space on commercial vessels at least 26 feet (7.9m) in length, making it a straightforward way to bring a vessel into compliance with that requirement. It is rated for use with pumps drawing up to 20 amps at 12 volts, and the float switch itself is mercury-free for safer, more reliable long-term operation. For boats with more than one compartment that needs monitoring, additional Rule float switches can be added to extend coverage without adding another gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe in-dash gauge mounts to the helm or dash panel so the alarm is visible right where the operator is already looking, and the float switch installs in the monitored bilge or compartment. Together they form a simple, dedicated high-water warning system rather than a general bilge pump control switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33ALA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-Water Bilge Alarm System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Amperage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudible Alarm Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 85 decibels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlarm Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visual and audible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e CFR 182.530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wall mount (in-dash gauge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-mercury float switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponents Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Float switch and in-dash gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 042237095770\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Rule Hi-Water Boat Bilge Alarm System (33ALA) do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It monitors an unmanned bilge or compartment and warns the crew when water reaches a high level, using a float switch paired with an in-dash gauge that gives both a visual and an 85 decibel audible alarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this alarm system compliant with CFR 182.530?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Rule 33ALA Hi-Water Bilge Alarm System complies with CFR 182.530, which requires a visual and audible alarm in each unmanned space on commercial vessels at least 26 feet (7.9m) in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the 33ALA bilge alarm system run on?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Rule Hi-Water Bilge Alarm System operates on 12 volts DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum amperage rating for this alarm system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 33ALA is rated for a maximum of 20 amps, and is suitable for use with pumps drawing up to 20 amps at 12 volts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow loud is the audible alarm on the Rule Hi-Water system?\u003c\/strong\u003e The audible alarm sounds at 85 decibels, paired with a visual indicator on the in-dash gauge so a high water condition is hard to miss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the float switch in this kit contain mercury?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the float switch included with the 33ALA Hi-Water Bilge Alarm System is mercury-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Rule 33ALA Hi-Water Bilge Alarm System?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes a non-mercury float switch and an in-dash gauge that provides the visual and audible alarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I monitor more than one compartment with a single 33ALA gauge?\u003c\/strong\u003e Additional compartments can be monitored by adding extra Rule float switches to the existing in-dash gauge, rather than installing a separate alarm system for each space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is the gauge for the 33ALA alarm system mounted?\u003c\/strong\u003e The in-dash gauge is a wall mount unit designed to be installed at the helm or dash panel where the operator will see and hear the alarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Rule Hi-Water Bilge Alarm System gauge?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 33ALA in-dash gauge is white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 33ALA alarm system meant to control a bilge pump directly?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, this system is a dedicated high-water warning system that signals rising water via its gauge;
