Alarm settings

Alarms manager Settings

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

• Lost Radar targetsAlarmsDangerous Radar targets — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when dangerous Radar targets become lost (i.e.: no Radar return from the target has been received for 20 seconds).

• 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: Dangerous targets alarm

• Dangerous targets alarmIgnore static targetsDo not alarm for static AIS targets — Enables ability to ignore AIS targets that are considered static (travelling under 2 Knots). Static targets that become dangerous will still be identified onscreen but will not trigger the dangerous targets alarm.

• Guard zone 1AlarmsGuard zone 1 — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when Radar returns are detected within guard zone 1.

• Guard zone 2AlarmsGuard zone 2 — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when Radar returns are detected within guard zone 2.

• 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 three types of arrival alarm. When your vessel crosses the specified radius, the Waypoint Arrival alarm is triggered. The following Waypoint arrival alarms are available:

  • Arrival radius — Used when the MFD is NOT in pilot integration mode and the Autopilot is in Track mode.

  • Pilot track mode radius — Used when the MFD is integrated with an Autopilot and the Autopilot is in Track mode.

  • Search route arrival radius — Used when the MFD is following a SAR pattern. Also helpful when race sailing and using Laylines, or when fishing, as this alarm setting provides a smaller radius to ensure you don't get alerted too far away from the target waypoint.

• Interception arrival — If enabled, during target interception an alarm is triggered when your vessel reaches the distance specified in Arrival radius.

• 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.

• Sail recommendationAlarmsSail recommendation — MFD’s configured using the Sailing activity will have the Sail recommendation alarm available. If enabled, when wind conditions change a sail recommendation notifications will be triggered. Sail recommendations are based on user imported values.

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

  Note

  The MFD shallow depth alarm is independent of the Shallow depth alarm available on instrument displays. If you have Instrument displays connected to your system it is recommended that their shallow depth alarms are disabled.

• 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.

• Anchor dragAlarmsAnchor drag — When the Anchor drag alarm has been configured and activated in the Chart app the Anchor drag alarms can be turned off by selecting Raise anchor

• Low fuel remainingAlarmsLow fuel — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when the fuel remaining in your fuel tanks reaches the specified Fuel level.

  Note

  The Fuel manager must be enabled for alarms to be triggered.

• LightHouse chart obstructions, If enabled, an alarm in triggered when an obstruction is detected. For details refer to: Obstruction alarm (legacy LightHouse charts)

• DSC alarmsAlarmsDSC — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when DSC distress calls are received.

• AIS safety messagesAlarmsAIS safety messages — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when AIS safety messages are received.

• MOB data typeAlarmsMOB data type — Determines whether the MOB waypoint is fixed at the Position the alarm was triggered, or advances its position based on tide and wind effects (Dead reckoning).

• Fishing rangeAlarmsFishing rangeShallow water arrivalDeep water arrival — If enabled, an alarm is triggered when your Depth reading reaches the depth specified in Shallow water arrival or Deep water arrival.

• 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.

• Digital switching alarmsAlarmsDigital switching — When your system includes digital switching a list of all configured digital switching alarms will be displayed. If your system includes a YachtSense™ Link router then the router’s alarms will be displayed.

  • For details of digital switching alarms refer to: Digital switching alarms

  • For details of YachtSense™ Link router alarms refer to: YachtSense Link router alarms

• AX8 camera messagesAlarmsAX8 camera — If enabled, messages from a connected AX8 camera will be presented as alarms on your MFD.

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

• Generator alarmsAlarms Generators — If enabled, Alarms raised by compatible generators will be displayed on the MFD.

• Apps and connected devicesAlarmsApps and connected devices — Select Configure — Select to enable and disable alerts received from partner integration hardware or apps. For details on partner integrations refer to: Partner Integration and third-party apps

• Battery alarmsAlarms Battery alarms — Select Configure to view the battery configuration page where you can set alarms for each detected battery. For details refer to: Battery configuration

• 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.

• Home button active alarm indicator — If enabled, when an alarm is active the onscreen home icon is colored red and contains a warning triangle.

• High/maximum AIS targets — When the MFD is configured as First responder the High/maximum AIS targets alarm is available. The alarm is triggered when the MFD is reaching or met its maximum limit of 100 AIS targets being displayed onscreen. For details refer to: AIS High target alarm

• High speed alarm — If, enabled an alarm is triggered when vessel SOG goes above a specified threshold. For details refer to: High Speed Alarm
