6.0 SYSTEM FAULTS & HAZARDS
6.1.1 Danger
6.1.2 Warning
6.1.3 Caution
A danger fault is a critical system fault which will result in limited or no
steering performance and requires immediate action.
Depending on the nature of the fault, steering will either be restricted
to one engine or suspended completely. The engines may need to be
manually realigned and the vessel steered using the shift and throttle.
In the event of a danger fault, the CANtrak buzzer will sound continuously
(until muted) and the CANtrak display will advise the operator on how
to proceed. See Section 6.2.1 for danger fault handling specifics.
A warning fault is a non-critical system fault which may cause the
steering speed to be reduced.
Although a warning fault may not always adversely affect steering
performance it is an indication of a problem in the system and
should be remedied.
In the event of a warning fault, the CANtrak buzzer will sound
intermittently (until muted) and the CANtrak will display the Warning
screen. See Section 6.2.3 for warning fault handling specifics.
A caution fault is a non-critical system fault that will have no effect on
system performance. Although a caution fault will not adversely affect
steering it is an indication of a problem in the system and should be
corrected as soon as possible. The yellow warning triangle will remain
on the CANtrak display screen until a technician has remedied the issue.
6.1 Hazard Definitions
Should a steering fault occur it will be communicated to the user though
the CANtrak display. This section defines the three types of hazards
you may experience and how the system will handle each.
When a serious fault occurs, consider your options. While the system
has many features to allow the boat to return to port in a slow and safe
manner, local conditions or operator skills may dictate that calling for
assistance is the prudent thing to do.
