Route Steering Alarms
The alarms relevant to the Steering are of two types (permanent and intermittent).
Permanent alarms are available regardless of the used steering
mode:
• OUT FROM CHANNEL is indicated by red colour of the
"Off track" value and by orange text
• OUT FROM GATE is indicated by orange text. Out of gate
indicates that, if the vessel continues using the current course,
then the vessel will be outside of the channel at wheel over
point.
Intermittent audio/visual alarms appear as follows:
• alarm number and text is visible on the bottom bar of the ECDIS screen (see example below)
• visual alarm is on ACKN. WARNG. Pushbutton of the Trackpilot control panel (see example below).
• buzzer is operating in Trackpilot panel
You acknowledge intermittent alarm by pressing ACKN. WARNG. of the Trackpilot panel.
