Alarm Reporting
The chartplotter reports the following alarms, that are set using the
ALARMS key:
Alarm Indicates:
Arrival Your vessel has arrived at the active waypoint: it has
either reached the arrival circle (the radius of which is
specified) or, has reached its closest point of approach
(defined by a line passing through the waypoint and
perpendicular to the route leg).
Off Track Your vessel has exceeded the specified distance
(maximum cross track error) from the active route leg.
Anchor Your vessel has drifted from its anchor position (set
when the alarm was turned on) by more than the
specified distance.
Countdown The countdown timer has reached zero.
Alarm Clock The time matches the specified alarm time.
The alarms are switched on or off, and the limits set, using the ALARMS
key menu.
When an alarm is triggered, the alarm buzzer sounds and a pop-up
window describing the alarm is displayed.
➤ To silence the alarm and clear the message, press any key.
If the alarm was generated by the chartplotter, the appropriate action is
taken. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is
activated.
External Alarms
All SeaTalk system alarms (except autopilot alarms) are received and
displayed on the chartplotter. You can silence these alarms by pressing
any key. No other action is taken by the chartplotter except to silence the
alarm.
