10 SmartPilot X-5 Sport Operating Guide
• Waypoint names of more than five characters alternate with the page name (as
shown by screen B below).
• If a waypoint name has more than nine characters, the display only shows the first
nine characters.
1.7 Alarms
The SPX-5 Sport system supports the alarms listed on the following pages. When an
alarm occurs, a beep sounds and the appropriate alarm message is displayed.
Responding to alarms
• Unless otherwise stated, if an alarm occurs, press
standby
to clear the alarm and
return to hand steering.
• If more than one alarm occurs, as each alarm is cleared, the next is displayed.
Message Description and possible actions
LARGE XTE
Large cross track error
Occurs if the cross track error exceeds 0.3 nm. The alarm clears if the head-
ing recovers.
MOB
Man OverBoard alarm
The SPX-5 Sport system activates the Man Overboard alarm if it receives a
man overboard (MOB) message from another instrument on the SeaTalk
system. It displays the text
MOB
instead of the waypoint number on the
XTE, DTW and BTW data pages.
If the autopilot is in Track mode, it will sound the Waypoint Advance alarm
to notify you of the change in waypoint.
NEXT WPT
Waypoint advance alarm
The SPX-5 Sport system activates the Waypoint Advance alarm whenever
the target waypoint changes. This occurs when:
• you select automatic acquisition by pressing
track
from Auto
• you request waypoint advance by pressing
track
for 1 second in Track
mode (with SeaTalk navigators only)
• the boat arrives at the target waypoint and the navigator accepts the next
waypoint
• you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function in Track mode
When the alarm sounds, the pilot continues on its current heading but dis-
plays:
• the bearing to the next waypoint
• the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing
