Introduction to alerts
The SAILOR 6300 MF/HF DSC reports alerts of the type warning and
caution, and complies with the requirements for Bridge Alert Management
according to IEC-62923-1 (2018) and IEC-62923-2 (2018-8).
Alerts are reported and indicated in the top right corner of the SAILOR
6301 Control Unit display.
An alert is presented with an alert icon in the upper right side of the display.
An alert can be of the type warning or caution. If a warning is not
acknowledged, the audible warning signal (2 beeps) is repeated every 4
minutes until it is acknowledged. The audible warning signal disappears
when the alert changes state from the initial active unacknowledged state,
e.g. when it is acknowledged or the alert is rectified.
You can display the current list of active alerts by pushing and holding the
Mode/BAM button.
Alerts in the Bridge Alert Management system are ship-internal
alerts from connected equipment to the bridge.
