20.3 Aggregated Alerts
MSC302(87) requires the use of the “aggregated alert,” which groups multiple similar
alerts.
The illustration below shows the grouping possible with the FURUNO AMS. Grouped
alerts can be collectively temporarily silenced.
Grouping of similar alerts with a single sensor
Grouping of similar alerts with multiple sensors
Grouping is done when the equipment is installed, and has these limitations.
• Grouped alerts cannot be collectively acknowledged.
Each alert must be individually acknowledged.
• The alerts must all have the same alert priority and alert category.
Alerts having different alert priority and alert category cannot be grouped.
