Autopilot Alarms

The Autopilots are programmed to provide essential alarms. The
alarm message will appear on the WR20, and depending on the
operating circumstances the alarm may inhibit some features of the
WR20 until the alarm condition is cleared.
Note
For safety reasons an alarm can only be cleared at the Autopilot
control head itself and not from the WR20 Handset.
An audible alarm will sound on the WR20 for as long as the Alarm
condition exists, or until the user 'Mutes' the Alarm sound or the
condition is cleared at the Autopilot control head.

6.9.1 WR20 Alarm Displays

Once an Alarm 'On' Condition has been received by the WR20, a
pop-up Alarm display will be shown (Fig. 6.14).
If the WR20 was previously controlling the Autopilot pressing the
MUTE SoftKey will silence the alarm, however, the WR20 will
not be usable until the alarm condition is cleared at the Autopilot
control head. If the WR20 was previously controlling an
instrument other than an Autopilot then pressing MUTE SoftKey
will silence the alarm and the WR20 display will return to the
instrument under control. It will not be possible to select the
Autopilot from the WR20 until the alarm condition is cleared at the
Autopilot control head. In both cases, when the alarm is cleared the
WR20 display will briefly show "ALARM CLEARED" before
resuming normal operation.
