About monitoring routes
When you select a route for monitoring, the messages shown below appear, on the
[Select Route] dialog box or in a message window, when a route cannot be opened
for monitoring.
• "Impossible turn at waypoint XX" (XX=waypoint no.). Geometry of the route makes
it impossible for the ship to accomplish a turn. Modify the route to make the turn
possible.
• "Unchecked / Check condition differs". The route has not been checked. Check the
route, on the [Alert Parameters] page.
• "Monitored in the NAVI mode". The route is currently being monitored.
• "More than one WPT needed". The route has only one waypoint. Add more way-
points to the route.
• "Route monitoring cannot be started. Please check ship's position and conditions."
Click the [OK] button to close the message. Check ship's position and conditions
of the route.
If you have small-scale chart(s) on display that have the whole eastern/western (0-
180°E/0-180°W) hemisphere and a part of the other hemisphere on display, there is
a limitation to display a route. To avoid this, set chart center so that the whole eastern/
western hemisphere is not on the screen.
The route check which occurs after selecting a route can take longer with C-MAP
charts. Wait until the completion of the check.
If, in the radar mode, route monitoring is stopped, the Alert 691 (ALF format: 10800,1)
"RM Stop - Exceed Max XTE", 692 (ALF format: 10800,2) "RM Stop - Disconnect
Sensors", or 693 (ALF format: 10800,3) "RM Stop - Other Causes" appears. If this oc-
curs, switch to the Chart for Radar mode. The "Monitoring Failed" pop-up window ap-
pears. Click the OK button. Find the reason why route monitoring was stopped and
then restart route monitoring.
Route monitoring is temporarily stopped (route is grayed out) and an alert appears
when the signal for position, speed or heading is lost. To restore route monitoring,
change the sensor system from System to Local (from the Sensor Information box),
manually enter the lost data, check [Set Drift], then switch to the DR mode.
Route data is sent to the radar at the start of route monitoring or when the ship transits
a waypoint. If a route is not displayed on the radar, stop then restart monitoring at the
radar chart. A route is erased from the radar when route monitoring is stopped or the
radar chart is restarted. To redisplay the route, stop then restart monitoring at the ra-
dar chart.
When chart alerts are unchecked while planning a route (see section 11.1.2) and
route monitoring is activated, a message appears in the permanent warning box.
• [Safety Contour] unchecked: "Indication of crossing safety contour if Off. (in moni-
toring)"
• [Areas to be Avoided] unchecked: "Indication of navigational hazards is Off. (in
monitoring)"
• Other alerts unchecked: "Indication of some prohibited areas or areas with special
conditions is Off. (in monitoring)"
If this radar is connected in the network to an FMD-3200/3300 ECDIS that is inter-
faced with an IEC 62065 Ed.2 compliant TCS (YOKOGAWA PT-900, Tokyo Keiki PR-
9000, EMRI FAP-3000), the alert 174 (WPT Approach) is generated at each waypoint
if the TCS is not connected to the ECDIS in route monitoring. The TCS can only be
connected to the FMD-3200/3300.
