7 Depth functions
General information
Alarm on = minute sign ( ´ ) displayed above the last depth digit in
the sub-function.
Alarm off = no minute sign ( ´ ) displayed.
The alarms will be triggered, if the actual depth becomes less
(shallow alarm), or more (depth alarm), than the set depth value.
The alarm is audiable (signal) and visual (main and sub-function
flashes).
When a triggered alarm has been silenced, it will only be triggered
again if the selected depth value differs by +/-2m (6 ft)
If a different page than DEPTH is shown when the alarm is
triggered, the set alarm function will automatically be shown
flashing, until you silence or turn off the alarm. The instrument will
then automatically return to the previous page.
Loss of signal. If there are no depth echoes for 3 seconds, the
display indicates 3 dotted lines ( --- ) until a new echo is received.
7.1 DEPTH main-function
Depth from the water surface or the keel depending on calibration
setting (See 12.2.3, C22).
Unit available in meters (m), feet (FT) or fathoms (FA).
(See 12.2.2, C21).
7.2 DEPTH sub-functions
7.2.1 SHALLOW ALARM (SHA)
Depth at which point audiable and visual alarms will be triggered, if
the actual depth becomes less than the set value. (See 7.3).
7.2.2 DEPTH ALARM (DEA)
epth at which point audiable and visual alarms will be triggered, if
the actual depth becomes more than the set value. (See 7.3).
7.2.3 ANCHOR ALARM (ANC)
When the anchor alarm is set, the instrument will first suggest a
value for the shallow (SHA) alarm (actual depth minus 1,5 m / 5
FT) then a value for the depth (DEA) alarm (actual value plus 1.5
m / 5 FT).
