Alarms

Alarms are used to alert you to a situation or hazard requiring your attention.

AlarmsSome examples of alarms are:

  • Anchor alarm — Used when anchored, this alerts you to a change in depth which could mean that the chain length requires adjusting.

  • Depth and speed alarms — These alarms alert you when your depth or speed moves outside of specified limits, for example a minimum depth.

  • MOB (Man Overboard) alarm — Received from an MOB system.

When an alarm occurs, a message is displayed and an audible alarm may sound.

You can either:

  • Silence the alarm, or

  • Silence the alarm and edit the alarm settings.

Note

With the exception of the Alarm clock, Speed and Sea temperature; SeaTalk 1 systems will only be able to switch alarms on and off, whereas SeaTalk NG systems will also be able to adjust settings.
