Alarm settings

Depending on connected peripheral hardware and configuration the alarms listed below can be enabled and disabled and where applicable alarm thresholds can be set or changed.

Alarms Settings

Note

Alarms are only triggered when relevant hardware (e.g.: sensors) is connected and reporting the data required for the alarm.

  • Dangerous AIS targetsAlarmsDangerous AIS targets — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when AIS targets become dangerous. AIS targets are deemed dangerous when they have the potential to cross your path within a specified distance and time. For alarm parameters refer to: AIS dangerous targets

  • DepthAlarmsDepth — If enabled, when the depth detected by your depth transducer passes the specified value the depth alarm is triggered.

    Note

    The MFD depth alarm is independent of the Shallow depth alarm available on instrument displays and other MFDs. If you have Instrument displays or Axiom MFDs connected to your system it is recommended that the shallow depth alarm is only enabled on one device.

  • Waypoint arrivalAlarmsWaypoint arrival — If enabled, when you arrive at a waypoint, an alarm is triggered. This setting allows you to specify a radius size for the alarm. When your vessel crosses the specified radius, the Waypoint Arrival alarm is triggered.

  • Low voltageAlarmsLow voltage If enabled, the alarm is triggered if the supply voltage to the display drops below the value specified in the Low voltage threshold field.

  • Off trackAlarmsOff trackCross track error (XTE) — If enabled, during active navigation an alarm is triggered when your vessel steers off track by more than the specified Cross track error value.

  • Position driftAlarmsPosition drift — If enabled, an Alarm is triggered when your vessel drifts from its current GNSS (GPS) position by more than the specified Drift range.

  • Water temperature alarmAlarmsWater temperature — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when the water temperature reading reaches the temperature specified in Lower temp limit or Upper temp limit.

  • Fish detection beepAlarmsFish detection beep If, enabled the alarm is triggered when the Fishfinder app detects a sonar targets that the fish detection algorithm considers to be a fish. For further details refer to: Fish detection

  • Engine alarmsAlarmsEngine — If enabled, alarms will be triggered when engine warning alarms are received from connected, compatible engine management systems or interfaces.

  • Satellite fix lostAlarmsSatellite fix lost If enabled, the alarm is triggered if the position fix of the GNSS (GPS) receiver currently in use is lost.

  • Minimum sonar depth AlarmsMinimum sonar depth — When your sonar transducer detects depths of 0.8 m/2.62 ft the alarm is triggered.
    Important

    Accurate bottom tracking can be unreliable in depths shallower than 0.8 m/2.62 ft. When operating at or below this depth be cautious of misleading sonar returns or false bottom tracking.
