Anchor alarm
If you want to change the function to anchor alarm please open the
programming tool – see under 19.7. You can choose one function. If the
anchor alarm is active by set the switch to “1” and you drive out of range
of your set position the TRX2 set the output port of CPA to high and an
external buzzer eg. easyCPA³ will switch on.

External Devices (additional)
There is the possibility, to connect the easyCPA³ as an additional
accessory. The device has predefined switches and buttons for the above-
mentioned functions. The easyCPA³ additionally has an external signal
generator for CPA alert and AIS S.A.R.T.
Based on the cable assignment under position 11 and 12 you may connect
our small external signal generator with the brown and white cable. This
is a device which is only suitable for CPA alert and AIS S.A.R.T.
Simply connect the corresponding colors.
When the CPA is connected the easyTRX2 devices send an alarm signal to
the switching output. The attached signal generator easyCPA generates a
loud and clearly audible alarm sound. This alarm sound rings out at a CPA
alert or if an AIS SART message is received.

Multiplexer (NMEA-Input, 38400/4800 baud)
You may connect a NMEA sensor (e.g. log, anemometer, etc.) with a baud
rate of 4800or 38400 baud to the 6 pole cable of the pair of conductors
(brown/yellow) position 5 and 6. The sensor data is put out to the plotter
or PC together with the AIS and GPS data.
(Note: You cannot connect a GPS receiver as the easyTRX2 has its own GPS
receiver whose data can be activated for the plotter or PC (see 19.1).
If you want to multiplex data from a 38400 baud device please set the
input baudrate with the programming tool.
