26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.7.2 Alerts and messages when precondition for route steering are not complete When you select the GoAW mode or SEA mode and change the steering mode to route steering mode at the Autopilot to activate the route steering, but route steering preconditions are not complete, an alert and a message are given.
Page 366 26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS Messages The message in the [Track Control Status] window (at the top of the display) states the reason why the preconditions for the start of track control are not complete. [Track Control Status] Preconditions for Track Control Start are missing: AP connection error.

26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.7.3 Other route steering indications and alerts Route steering indications in the Route Information box Permanent alerts appear in the [Route Information] box in red in any steering mode. In the example below the [Off Track] value is shown in red when the vessel is outside the channel.

26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.8 Alerts Given When Approaching a Waypoint 26.8.1 Track Control System (TCS) testing standard and Autopilot There are two TCS testing standards, IEC 62065 Ed. 1.0 and IEC 62065 Ed. 2.0. The Autopilots that can be connected to this ECDIS conform to the following TCS stan- dards: Ed.

The CCA is not acknowledged. 9. 30 seconds after the vessel passes the WOL, the ECDIS outputs the Backup Nav- igator Alarm (contact signal, N/O or N/C) to the BNWAS.
Page 371: About The Backup Navigator Alarm
26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.8.3 About the Backup Navigator Alarm The Backup Navigator Alarm alerts the bridge to an unacknowledged alarm by trans- ferring the alarm within the TCS to the BNWAS. For unacknowledged alarms that require output of the Backup Navigator Alarm, the TCS sends the Backup Navigator Alarm to the BNWAS.
