6.9 Fallback Arrangements
If the top priority sensor (for example EPFS1) cannot be used, this equipment auto-
matically uses the second priority sensor (for example, EPFS2) when multiple sensors
(EPFS1 and EPFS2 for example) are installed. When there is no fallback sensor avail-
able, each function is limited as follows:
Sensor
Heading • The [HDG] indication reads "***.*°"
sensor • The orientation mode is automatically set to [HEAD-UP].
• TT, AIS, radar map and echo averaging are disabled.
Speed When [LOG(WT)] is selected:
sensor • The sensor used is automatically switched in the following priority order: EPFS(BT)
LOG(BT).
• The SPD indication reads "***.* kn" when both EPFS(BT) and LOG(BT) cannot be
used.
When [LOG(BT)] is selected:
• The sensor used is automatically switched in the following priority order: EPFS(BT)
LOG(WT).
• The SPD indication reads "***.* kn" when both EPFS(BT) and LOG(WT) cannot be
used.
When [EPFS(BT)] is selected:
• The sensor used is automatically switched in the following priority order: LOG(BT)
LOG(WT).
• The SPD indication reads "***.* kn" when both LOG(BT) and LOG(WT) cannot be
used.
COG/SOG • When the EPFS sensor cannot be used, the values of COG and SOG are calculat-
sensor ed from HDG and LOG(BT).
• Additionally when the heading sensor cannot be used, the values of SOG is calcu-
lated from LOG(BT). The COG indication reads "***.*°".
Position • The POSN indication reads all asterisks.
sensor • AIS and radar map are disabled.
