30.11 Backup Navigator Alert
Track Control System (=TCS) standard IEC 62065 require "Backup Navigator Alert". It is intended to be connected
to Central Alarm System. The idea behind the IEC 62065 requirement for "Backup Navigator Alarm" is that if the
navigator on duty cannot handle the situation (i.e. he does not have time enough to check and to acknowledge all
track control related alarm) then more person(s) are called automatically to the bridge. Alarm Transfer System
included into Central Alarm System will then transfer "Backup Navigator Alarm" to intended person(s).
If, during Track Control (= Program track, GOTO Track, GOTO WPT, "Track", "GoSEA", "GoAW" etc.),
the alert "2451 Route: WP approach alarm" is not acknowledged within 30s of wheel-over line, the "Backup
Navigator Alarm" is released.
