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.
