  • Page 22: Fuel Alarms

    IMPORTANT: A fuel fault alarm will only occur if all fuel tanks on the vessel, connected to VesselView, are sending a low fuel condition fault. If only one of many is sending a low fuel condition fault, the VesselView will not identify the fault. The system looks at all tanks defined as fuel and adds them all together into a single sum.

  • Page 23: Saving Settings

    VesselView operates in sessions. Configuration changes can be made to a session but when the VesselView unit is shutdown before saving it will lose those changes and go back to its default settings (or last saved configuration settings). When changes are made to any of the VesselView settings, whether for calibrating settings or for customization, those changes need to be saved.

    IMPORTANT: A fuel fault alarm will only occur if all fuel tanks on the vessel, connected to VesselView, are sending a low fuel condition fault. If only one of many is sending a low fuel condition fault, the VesselView will not identify the fault. The system looks at all tanks defined as fuel and adds them all together into a single sum.
