User defined alarm
IMPORTANT
The Safety zone function is available only when S57 vector chart or C-MAP are used.
• The largest scale data available for the area given is always used by ECDIS900 to
generate the danger alarm.
• ECDIS is also capable of sensing indications and alarms related to manual update
objects.
USER DEFINED ALARM
Each user defined object plotted using Object Editor may be defined as a danger and
therefore may trigger an alarm:
• An isolated object when the point is inside the ship’s guard zone or inside the safety
corridor of a route.
• A line when the line intercepts the guard zone or the safety corridor of a route.
• An area when the area intercepts the guard zone or the safety corridor of a route cross the
line.
• User defined “alarmed” areas will be considered as “No go” area in VDS module
ASSIGN ALARM
ALARM OBJECT
The object editor (OE) is used to plot user data on the charts: simple point, lines or areas (For
more details see the chapter
).
An alarm object is a geographical area, which triggers an alarm when the ship sails into it or
when a planned route crosses it.
DEFINE ALARM OBJECT
Right click on the object outline, plotted on the chart, and click Set alarm in the pop-up
menu.
