Remote dimming setup
The Dimming levels can be set up on this screen. The user can select dimming and color choices
for the 4 preset levels that can be sent remotely (using DDC NMEA command). When the user
uses the on screen dimming, the color scheme will change when the dimming level passes the
set % value.
By changing to Day, Twilight, Night , and OFF Text colours can be selected and echogram colour
for that level. As the dimming is changed, these colours will change as the dimming level passes
through the set level, or if a remote (DDC) command is sent. This allows the user to decide what
dimming level is required for this particular display (This may be different in different areas of the
Bridge/Control room)
In some cases the remote dimmer may wish to just use the 4 theme levels of Day, twilight, night,
off as defined in the DDC part of the IEC61162-1 ‘NMEA’ standard. If there is a % value in this
sentence, then this will be used by the system. If however you wish to have a local setting for this,
use the button ‘ignore %’ The system will then use the predefined brightness level set in this con

Alert setup
Alarm
Shallow water Most critical alert
Warning
Example:
Power failure
Less critical alert
Caution
Example:
Deep water
Least critical alert
Echosounder “Shallow water” alarm is a safety critical alarm and should be configured such that
the user must view the echogram screen to acknowledge a shallow water alarm. This is so that
the history of the water getting shallower is seen.
“Shallow water” is classed as a category A alarm. On a dual channel ESN200 the shallow alarm
will be triggered when the depth goes from deeper area, passes the alarm limit, on the primary
transducer.
If the system is part of an approved INS system with the capability of showing the echogram
on other devices, then the system can be classed as Category B. This allows the Alarm to be
acknowledged from that system.
The system has an internal alarm sounder, that can be disabled for CAT B usage on the display
menu.
There are three levels of alerts:
The ESN200 can be made to handle alerts using the ALR/ACK protocol or the ALF/ACN/ALC
Protocol.
The Protocol is selected on the config – Alert setup page
