NOTES
(1)
Please note that the alarm can be activated only if the GPS Chart Plotter is receiving a Fix position
or Simulation mode is activated. Otherwise an error beep is returned and the Alarm value is kept
to Off.
(2)
The Grounding Alarm function is availabl only if a NT
+
/MAX C-CARD is inserted. It also affects
the screen redraw speed so we suggest to disable it when not used.
(2)
When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS Chart Plotter shows a pop
up window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found
is reported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick
marker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the
same objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searches
the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Report
page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm will
be shown). The GPS Chart Plotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding
Alarm is detected.

13.4 SIMULATION
The built-in Simulator function allows you to become proficient in the use of the GPS Chart
Plotter, see the Simulation Menu below:
Simulation Mode
: Three selections:
a. Off - turn the Simulation Mode Off
b.On - enable the simulator mode, where the speed and course are adjusted by entering
in values in the Course and Speed seection discussed later in this table.
c. Route - this selection allows you to navigate to a saved route.
Course
: To start the simulator you can insert the Course value.
Speed
: To start the simulator you can insert the Speed value.
Date
: To start the simulator you can insert the date.
Time
: To start the simulator you can insert the time.
Cursor Control
: Enables (On)/disables (Off) the cursor control. Moving the ShuttlePoint knob up or down will
change the SOG and left or right will change the COG of the simulated vessel.
Demo Mode
: In Demo mode the GPS Chart Plotter automatically places a Destination point on the Chart
page and simulates navigation to the point. Also, the active page changes automatically
every 10 seconds. The pages are shown in the following order: Start-Up screen, GPS
Status, Chart/Compass tape, Chart/Fish Finder, Full page Fish Finder, Full page Radar,
Navigation, Highway, Celestial, NMEA. Once the Demo mode is enabled, pressing any key
it is possible to temporally exit and returns to GPS Chart Plotter normal operation, but if you
do not touch any key for 30 seconds Demo Mode restarts.
