SPX-5 Sport system alarm messages
If a fault or failure occurs in the SPX-5 Sport system, an appropriate alarm message is
generated.
If this happens and unless otherwise stated, press
standby
to clear the alarm and
return to manual control, before you attempt to resolve the problem. If more than one
alarm occurs, as each alarm is cleared, the next is displayed.
Alarm messages, possible causes and remedies are detailed in the following table.
Navigation information not
received
Navigator not transmitting the correct data. Ensure sys-
tem cables are securely connected.
The SPX-5 Sport system will not
auto advance to the next way-
point
No bearing to waypoint information received from the
navigator.
Alarm message Possible cause and remedy
CURRENT LIMIT
Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much current due to
short-circuit or jamming. Check the drive unit.
DRIVE STOPPED
The SPX-5 Sport system is unable to turn the rudder. This can occur if
the weather load on helm is too high, or if the (optional) rudder posi-
tion sensor has passed beyond the preset rudder limits or rudder end-
stops.
Manually check that the steering system operates comfortably and
that it is not being overloaded.
Check drive and, if appropriate, the rudder position sensor..
LOW BATTERY
Supply voltage has dropped below acceptable limits.
• press
standby
to clear the alarm and return to hand steering
• start the engine to recharge the battery
• ensure the charging system is working correctly.
