I here beeping but can’t figure out from where?
There are about 10 devices on the boat that can
beep a warning. Here is a list of the most common and what to do.
–
Co2 Sensor
under bed overhang
–
comforter covers it, it’s tan colored about 3”x3”. Its hard
wired to the boats hot float power supply (stays on even when battery switches are off). It
will beep if it gets low voltage and keep beeping until power is back up to 12v. To reset it,
you have to interrupt its power, either by pulling its fuse behind the dash
–
wait 10 seconds
then reinstall, or pop off the hot float breaker near the battery switches and wait 10
seconds then reset it on. Hot float power is always left on. If you leave it off, the automatic
bilge pumps are disabled. This sensor is easily damaged and very sensitive. Acetone fumes
–
hair spray
–
some aerosol cleaners will damage the sensitive/rare earth metals inside. If this
happens it will need to be replaced. Its sensitivity is amazing. It can go off from a dingy
motor or generator 50 ft. away if the port lights are open. If you happen to be having a bad
night intestinally, it can also go off. But its job is to keep you safe from invisible carbon
monoxide fumes in situations like, if your neighbor runs his generator or furnace all night.
–
400 watt Inverter
in master is standard, under the dinette as an option. These should
normally be turned off when not in use. They beep both with high or low voltage ( 14.8V+ or
11.0 V low), they also beep if overloaded. It’s only 400 watts which is fine for a computer or
phone charger, but you will overload and pop its internal fuse if you try a 1800 watt hair
dryer.
–
Electronics
in general and auto pilot, especially, have the same beep horn as the above
items. The auto pilot will beep incessantly if you’re running a set course and it drops its
inbound satellite signal. It wants you to note the loss of signal on the screen. It also beeps if
it’s lost the heading sensor/gyro compass signal. The gyro compass is mounted under the
bed on centerline aft. It’s important you do not store electrical things there. Things like
vacuum cleaners with DC magnet motors really pull on the heading sensor, destroying its
effectiveness.
–
Stove propane Sensor/Auto shut off Computer.
This device is mounted just under the sink,
smells for gas and is also very very sensitive, easily damaged by cleaners. The black unit is in
the corner near the floor, under is its sensing unit. To disable, flip the black power switch
next to the unit off/down. This will also turn off the computer but also closes the solenoid
valve in the propane tank stopping gas flow. It’s the most annoying beep.
–
Engine warnings
. These flash on the engine monitor and also beep on the chart plotter. You
will see things like “low coolant level” or “over temp” on the engine in both units. These two
are tied together through the NMMA backbone that shares information. Normally, resetting
the error/acknowledging it on the Volvo/engine display will reset the chart plotter. If the
chart plotter continues with its warning, stop and shut the engine and the chart plotter off.
Then restart and turn plotter back on. If the engine is warning you they are not normally
false, it’s doing what it says and you need to address the issue. If you
