Alarm relay
The NAV-7 provides a relay connection which can be selected as normally closed or
normally open contacts.
The alarm relay function is configurable from within the setup pages and can be set
(for example) to switch (change state) on receipt of a
Search and Rescue
message or for a system fault.
The red LED on the front panel of the NAV-7 mirrors the function of the alarm relay.
