28.5.7 Automatic route steering alarms
There are two types of alarms relevant to route steering, permanent and intermittent.
Permanent alarms are available regardless of the steering mode
used:
• Outside channel is indicated by displaying the text "Off
track" in orange and its value in red.
• The text "Out of Gate" is orange. Out of gate indicates that,
if the ship continues using the current course, the ship will be
outside of the channel at the wheel over point.
Intermittent audio/visual alarms appear as follows:
• Alarm number and text are visible at lower right corner of the ECDIS display (see example below).
• The ACKN. WARNING button of the Autopilot FAP-2000 control panel lights to provide visual alarm (see
example below).
• Buzzer sounds from the Autopilot FAP-2000’s panel.
You acknowledge an intermittent alarm by clicking the ACKN. WARNING button on the Autopilot FAP-2000’s
panel.
