Operation - General Setup and Control Settings
This screen controls a few basic operating settings:
Remember Display: When set to Yes (default), the MX51x remembers the Page Number
or screen you viewed the last time you used a particular function. For example,
if you normally monitor the NAV3 display and you decided to look at the PLOT1
screen, the next time you press the NAV function, the MX51x will automatically
revert to the NAV3 screen immediately.
If you select No for Remember Display, the MX51x will always display the first page of a
function when you press the function key.
Edit Timeout: You can set the timeout limit between None (default), or 1 to 10 minutes.
If you enter the edit mode on any screen and have a timeout period other than
None, the MX51x will automatically exit the edit mode if no keys are touched and
the timeout period expires.
Preceding Zeroes: Places zeroes (0s) before directions less than 100° when Yes is
selected. For example, 079°. Otherwise directions are shown without the leading
zeros when No is selected (default). For example, 79°.
Beeper: If you attempt to perform a key function that is not allowed, you normally hear
an Error Tone. This is performed when the Beeper is set to On (default). If you
don’t want to hear the error or any other keyboard beep, set the Beeper to Off.
Retain External Alarm: Allows the CDU to hold the external alarm while the alarm
condition still exist. When Retain external alarm is set to On, the external alarm
will normalize only when the cause of alarm is corrected.
Engineering Display: This enables an expanded series of display screens in some
of the functions. In general, these screens are used by the technician during
troubleshooting or by MX Marine engineers during development testing. Screens
which are relevant for troubleshooting are described in Appendix B of this manual.
The default setting is No. If you should enable these screens, the MX51x will
automatically turn them off the next time power is cycled on the unit.
Demonstration Mode: This enables the MX51x to function as though you are under way,
even though you are completely stationary. The default setting is No. When set
to Yes, all three Traffic Lights will be illuminated, and a D symbol is displayed in
the upper right corner of every display. Generally speaking, this feature is used
by MX Marine and your dealer for show room or trade show demonstrations.
However, you can use it as a training tool until you become familiar with the
MX51x. As a safety feature, you can not use it to output NMEA 0183 records on
the data ports to test and demonstrate other devices such as autopilots, chart
plotters, and radars. Refer to Appendix D of this manual for a full description of the
Demonstration Mode.
Organizer - Automated Message Reminders
This screen enables you to program the MX51x with up to 25 different message
reminders (up to 30 characters in length). You can program it to alarm for shift changes,
log entry intervals, medication intervals, weather fax updates, etc.
When the Organizer alarm is activated, the voltage on the Alarm Output Port is also
activated. If you have other devices connected to this port, you might need to consider
what other systems will be affected when the alarm sounds. MX Marine offers an External
Alarm control option license that will allow you to control the internal and external alarm
settings individually. Check with your dealer or MX Marine for details on External Alarm
license option.
