Internal alarms
The internal alarms are as follows:
External alarms
An optional Auxiliary Alarm can be fitted at a convenient remote position, to
give a loud, audible indication if any one of a range of alarms occurs. This
option is particularly useful for situations where high ambient noise may
make it difficult to hear the instrument’s internal alarm (e.g. aboard a power
boat).
Note:
An Auxiliary Alarm cannot be used if the
NMEA OUT
port is being
used for NMEA data.
What must I do if an alarm occurs?
If an alarm occurs, investigate the cause immediately and if possible, take
appropriate action to remove the cause of the alarm. If an alarm message is
displayed, use this to guide your course of action.
Silencing internal alarms
You can silence an internal alarm by pressing any one of the ST60 Graphic
Display front panel buttons. Remember though, that removing the alarm
sound does not remove the cause of an alarm. If the alarm condition persists,
the alarm will recur.
