11.2 How to Stop Monitoring a Route (Manual, Auto)
There are two methods to stop route monitoring: (1) Get into the Voyage navigation
mode, then click the [Voyage] and [Stop Monitor] buttons on the InstantAccess bar™.
(2) Get into the Voyage navigation mode, then click the [Voyage], [Route] and [Unse-
lect] buttons on the InstantAccess bar™.
When alert 691, 692 or 693 occurs, route monitoring is automatically stopped. See
“route monitoring is stopped” in the Troubleshooting table in section 23.3 for details.
z When you choose a route for monitoring, the messages shown below appear, on the
[Select Route] dialog box or in a message window, when a route cannot be opened
for monitoring.
• "Impossible turn at waypoint XX" (XX=waypoint no.). Geometry of the route makes
it impossible for the ship to accomplish a turn. Modify the route to make the turn
possible.
• "Unchecked / Check condition differs". The route has not been checked. Check
the route, on the [Alert Parameters] page.
• "Monitored in the NAVI mode". The route is currently being monitored.
• "More than one WPT needed". The route has only one waypoint. Add more way-
points to the route.
• "Route monitoring cannot be started. Please check ship’s position and conditions."
Click the [OK] button to close the message. Check ship’s position and conditions
of the route.
z
The route check which occurs after selecting a route can take longer with C-MAP
charts. Wait until the completion of the check.
z If you have small-scale chart(s) on display that have the whole eastern/western (0-
180°E/0-180°W) hemisphere and a part of the other hemisphere on display, there is
a limitation to display a route. To avoid this, set chart center so that the whole east-
ern/western hemisphere is not on the screen.
z Route monitoring is temporarily stopped (route is grayed out) and an alert appears
when position, speed or heading is lost. To restore route monitoring, change the sen-
sor system from System to Local (from the Sensor Information box), manually enter
the lost data, check [Set Drift], then switch to the DR mode.
z Route data is sent to the radar (ex. FAR-2xx7 series) at the start of route monitoring
or when the ship transits a waypoint. If a route is not displayed on the radar, stop then
restart monitoring at the ECDIS. A route is erased from the radar when route moni-
toring is stopped or the ECDIS is restarted. To redisplay the route, stop then restart
monitoring at the ECDIS.
z When chart
alerts are unchecked
while planning a route (see section 8.1.2) and
route monitoring is activated, a message appears in the permanent warning box.
• [Safety Contour] unchecked: "Indication of crossing safety contour if Off. (in mon-
itoring)"
• [Areas to be Avoided] unchecked: "Indication of navigational hazards is Off. (in
monitoring)"
• Other alerts unchecked: "Indication of some prohibited areas or areas with special
conditions is Off. (in monitoring)"
z
If this ECDIS is connected in the network to an FMD-3200/3300 ECDIS that is inter-
faced with an IEC 62065 Ed.2 compliant TCS (YOKOGAWA PT-900, Tokyo Keiki
PR-9000, EMRI FAP-3000), the alert 174 (WPT Approach) is generated at each
waypoint if the TCS is not connected to the ECDIS in route monitoring.
