Alarms
Alarm system
The system continuously checks for dangerous situations and system faults while the system
is running. When an alarm situation occurs, an alarm message pops up on the screen.
An alarm icon is displayed in the status bar, and the status bar pulses the color of the alarm.
If you have enabled the siren, the alarm message is followed by an audible alarm, and the
switch for external alarm becomes active.
The alarm is recorded in the alarm listing so that you can see the details and take the
appropriate corrective action.
Type of messages
The messages are classified according to how the reported situation affects your vessel. The
following color codes are used:
Color Importance
Red Critical
Orange Important
Yellow Standard
Blue Warning
Green Light warning
Single alarms
A single alarm is displayed with the name of the alarm as the title, and with details for the
alarm.
Multiple alarms
If more than one alarm is activated simultaneously, then the alarm message displays a list of
up to 3 alarms. The alarms are listed in the order they occur with the alarm activated first at
the top. The remaining alarms are available in the Alarms dialog.
Acknowledging a message
The following options are available in the alarm dialog for acknowledging a message:
• Close
Sets the alarm state to acknowledged, meaning that you are aware of the alarm condition.
The siren / buzzer stops and the alarm dialog is removed.
However, the alarm remains active in the alarm listing until the reason for the alarm has
been removed.
• Disable
Disables the current alarm setting. The alarm does not show again unless you turn it back
on in the Alarms dialog.
There is no time-out on the alarm message or siren. They remain until you acknowledge the
alarm or until the reason for the alarm is removed.
