Description of Backup Navigator Alarm

Track Control System (=TCS) standard IEC 62065 requires a "backup navigator alarm". This alarm is connected to
the Central Alarm System. The idea behind the IEC 62065 requirement for "Backup Navigator Alarm" is that if the
navigator on duty cannot handle the situation (i.e. he does not have time enough to check and to acknowledge all
track control related alarm) then more person(s) are called automatically to the bridge. Alarm Transfer System
included into Central Alarm System will then transfer "Backup Navigator Alarm" to intended person(s).
If during Track Control (= Program track, Goto Track, Goto WP etc.) any of alarms listed below is unacknowledged
for more than 30 seconds then "Backup Navigator Alarm" closed contact relay is activated. Note that "Backup
Navigator Alarm" is not activated, if any of above alarms happens when the ship is not performing any Track
Control mode.

If ECDIS is a part of a Track Control System, the "Backup Navigator Alarm" should be connected. If ECDIS is
NOT part of Track Control System, then "Backup Navigator Alarm" is not generated.
