Introduction | GN70/MX610/MX612 Operator and Installation Manual
RAIM Status
RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) is a fault-detection feature required by
IMO for type-approved GPS units. It is another layer of safety that alerts the operator that
a condition may exist in the GPS positioning solution that reduces the desired accuracy of
the ship’s position. This feature requires at least five GPS satellites to operate properly, four
satellites or less will indicate a RAIM caution condition (R?). If the statistical RAIM error exceeds
a specified limit (100 meters-default) a RAIM Unsafe (R-) alert will be indicated. This means
that the RAIM estimated position error is equal or greater than the preset limit. The operator
is advised to take extra precautionary measures when using the navigation solution until the
RAIM indicator switches to RAIM safe (R+) condition.
