Northstar Explorer 660 Installation and Operation Manual
The Fish and Loss of DGPS fix alarms
can be set to on or off. For the other alarms,
enter a trigger value to turn the alarm on. The
alarm will sound each time the alarm value
equals the trigger value. For example, the Too
shallow alarm will sound if the depth is less
than its trigger value and the Too deep alarm
will sound if the depth is more than its trigger
value. To turn these alarms off, enter a trigger
value of 0 (zero).
Icons for alarms that are on can be displayed in
the data header (see sections 2-6-3 and 10). An
alarm icon is normally black and turns red when
the alarm sounds.
