Alarm settings

Alarms are used to alert you to a hazard or situation requiring your attention. Alarms are triggered based on their specified thresholds. Alarms are transmitted on the network the display is connected to.
Note

In order to set alarm thresholds a valid data source for the alarm is required.

Depth alarms

Depth alarms can be enabled and disabled and alarm threshold values can be set from the Depth menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Depth. The following depth alarms are available:

  • Shallow Depth — The Shallow alarm is triggered when the detected water depth is shallower than the specified value.

  • Deep Depth — The Deep alarm is triggered when the detected water depth is deeper than the specified value.

  • Shallow anchor — The Shallow anchor alarm is triggered when at anchor and the detected water depth is shallower than the specified value.

  • Deep anchor — The Deep anchor alarm is triggered when at anchor and when the detected water depth is deeper than the specified value.

Note

  • Shallow anchor and Deep anchor alarms are available when both the display and a depth data source are on the same SeaTalk NG network. If the display is connected to SeaTalk 1, only one Anchor alarm will be available.

  • The Shallow and Deep alarms are intended to be used when underway. The anchor alarms are intended for use when at anchor.

Speed alarms

Speed alarms can be enabled and disabled and alarm threshold values can be set from the Speed menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Speed. The following speed alarms are available:

  • Boat Speed High — The Boat speed high alarm is triggered when vessel speed exceeds the specified value.

  • Boat Speed Low — The Boat speed low alarm is triggered when vessel speed drops below the specified value.

Temperature alarms

Temperature alarms can be enabled and disabled and alarm threshold values can be set from the Temperature menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Temperature. The following temperature alarms are available:

  • Sea Temp. High — The Sea temp high alarm is triggered when the water temperature rises above the specified temperature.

  • Sea Temp. Low — The Sea temp low alarm is triggered when the water temperature drops below the specified temperature.

Wind alarms

Wind alarms can be enabled and disabled and alarm threshold values can be set from the Wind menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Wind. The following wind alarms are available:

  • AWS High — The Apparent Wind Speed (AWS) high alarm is triggered when the AWS rises above the specified speed.

  • AWS Low — The Apparent Wind Speed (AWS) low alarm is triggered when the AWS drops below the specified speed.

  • AWA High — The Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) high alarm is triggered when the AWA is greater than the specified angle.

  • AWA Low — The Apparent Wind Angle (AWA) low alarm is triggered when the AWA is less than the specified angle.

  • TWS High — The True Wind Speed (TWS) high alarm is triggered when the TWS rises above the specified speed.

  • TWS Low — The True Wind Speed (TWS) low alarm is triggered when the TWS drops below the specified speed.

  • TWA High — The True Wind Angle (TWA) high alarm is triggered when the TWA is greater than the specified angle.

  • TWA Low — The True Wind Angle (TWA) low alarm is triggered when the TWA is less than the specified angle.

Other alarms

Other alarms can be enabled and disabled and alarm threshold values can be set from the Other menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Other. The following other alarms are available:

  • Alarm Clock — The alarm clock alarm is triggered at the specified Time. The alarm clock can be switched between 24 hour clock and AM/PM from the Format menu.

  • Off Course — The off course alarm is triggered, during active navigation when your vessel is more than the specified degrees off its track.

  • Man Over Board — When enabled, if a Man overboard (MOB) alarm is triggered on an MFD on the same network the MOB alarm will also be triggered on the display.

  • Battery Low — The battery low alarm is triggered when the supply voltage to the display drops below the specified voltage.

AIS alarms

AIS safety message and dangerous targets alarms can be enabled and disabled and the dangerous target alarm thresholds can be adjusted from the AIS menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Other > AIS. The following settings are available:

  • Safety Messages — Enables or disables the display of AIS-related safety messages on the display.

  • Dangerous Targets — When enabled, the dangerous targets alarm is triggered when an AIS target will reach the distance from your vessel specified in the Safe zone setting within the time period specified in the Time to Safe Zone setting.

  • Safe Zone — Specifies the distance for the safe zone of the dangerous targets alarm.

  • Time to Safe Zone — Specifies the time it will take for an AIS target to reach the safe zone and trigger the dangerous target alarm.

Note

Other AIS-related alarms are also shown on the display when triggered by connected AIS hardware.

Engine alarms

Engine alarms can be enabled or disabled from the Other menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Other > Engines. When enabled, supported engine alarms will be shown on the display.

Fuel alarms

When the Fuel manager has been set up, fuel-related alarms can be enabled or disabled and alarm thresholds can be set from the Other menu: Menu > Alarms > Settings > Other . The following fuel-related alarms are available:

  • Estimated Fuel Remaining — This alarm is triggered when the amount of remaining fuel drops lower than the specified fuel capacity.

  • Time to Empty — This alarm is triggered when the fuel manager calculates that the fuel tank will be emptied once the time specified has elapsed, based on the current vessel speed.

  • Distance to Empty — This alarm is triggered when the fuel manager calculates that the fuel tank will be emptied once the distance specified has been reached, based on the current vessel speed.
