6.1 Alarms
Alarms are used to alert you to a situation or hazard requiring your
attention.
Some examples of alarms are:
• Anchor alarm — Used when anchored, this alerts you to a
change in depth which could mean that the chain length requires
adjusting.
• Depth and speed alarms — These alarms alert you when your
depth or speed moves outside of specified limits, for example
a minimum depth.
• MOB (Man Overboard) alarm — Received from an MOB system.
When an alarm occurs, a message is displayed and an audible
alarm may sound.

Note: With the exception of alarm clock, speed and sea temp
SeaTalk systems will only be able to switch alarms on/off,
SeaTalk
ng systems will be able to adjust settings.
Alarm settings
Most alarms are generated locally using specified thresholds. They
are also transmitted to the SeaTalk and SeaTalk
ng networks for
display at other compatible devices.
