1.6.3 Central Alarm System
The autopilot provides each an alarm output and alarm input for the integration into a
central alarm system.
This Central Alarm System is used to manage all alarms from different devices from a
central position.
The first intention is to mute the acoustical sound from a device and look for the cause of
alert afterwards by local examination at the respective position.
The alarm muting is solved bidirectional, that means an alarm which is local cancelled
will be muted also on the Central Alarm Panel and vice versa.
The Pilotstar D must be configured to ’ RELAY ALARMS’ according to section 4.7, sub-
item 10.
The ’Relay Alarm’ output designated as ’RELAY AUTO FAIL’ is summarizing all acousti-
cal/optical alarms of the Pilotstar D to transfer a message to the Central Alarm Panel.
The ’Quit’ signal from the Central Alarm Panel is connected to the operation panel of the
Pilotstar D. During local alarm quit a ’Relay Alarm’ contact (designated as Tiller ON) is
activated and connected to the Central Alarm Output.
An summarize of all alarms is shown in section 2.6.3
Exceptions:
Synchronize call = means Step systems connected
New track call
= means a track changing message
Checkdata call = means there is a configuration mismatch
1.6.4 Rudder--angle Indicator
On the junction PCB of the connection unit, two outputs are provided for connecting up
to two analog rudder--angle indicators.
1.6.5 Multifunction Indicator (e.g. Raytheon Anschütz Digital Navigation Data Indicator)
The connection unit is equipped with a serial output for the connection of a multifunction
indicator (RS232 output) ( Configuration D--REP).
In this connection, the Raytheon Anschütz digital navigation data indicator offers itself as
a multifunction indicator.
The digital navigation data indicator permits the following indications:
-- Heading indication
-- Set heading indication
-- Log information (only in conjunction with a log sensor)
-- Rate--of--turn set value.
