1.10 Setting the alarms of the pilot
Two programmable alarms are available: one to signal a change of wind direction and the other
to signal low battery voltage.

The wind direction alarm, called «
wind/heading

direction, in
compass mode
and in
wind mode
.
The value entered in
Wind/heading setting
defines a setting range. In
compass mode
, when
the wind angle is out of this range, the alarm will be triggered 30s later. In
wind mode
, when
the heading is out of this range, the alarm will be triggered 30s later.

The battery voltage alarm, called «

», allows to monitor the state of charge of
the pilot battery. By default the alarm is set at 8VDC.
