VesselView Warning Horn Strategy

VesselView is equipped with a warning horn on its harness. This horn will sound alarms for critical tank level and low water
depth. The engine fault warnings will be visible on the VesselView screens, but the horns will be generated at the engine key
switch harness. If you prefer to have warning horns from both sources, go to the "WARNINGS" screen of the "Settings" menu
and turn the horn on. The horn is turned off by default. The menu path is: "Main" > "Settings" > "Warnings."
All engine alarms will be heard through the engine key switch harness horn regardless of the VesselView warning horn setting.
If the horn is turned on in the "WARNINGS" screen, the engine alarms will also be heard through the VesselView horn. The
VesselView horn will sound a solid tone for all faults and the engine warning horn will sound its specific warning tone. Check
the engine operations manual for possible warning horns for your engine.
NOTE: The warning horn strategy of the VesselView may not be the same horn strategy as the engine.
If the warning horn is turned on in the "Warnings" menu and you are experiencing a VesselView alarm, press the "X" button, or
check button, to acknowledge the fault and turn off the audible alarm.
The low water depth alarm is set in the "DEPTH" screen of the "Environment and Navigation" menu. This menu enables you to
turn the horn on or off. Low water depth alarms will be audible even if the warning horn is turned off in the "WARNINGS"
screen.
The low fuel tank level alarm cannot be turned off. The fuel tank level at which the alarm will sound can be adjusted down to
10% in the "WARNINGS" screen. The menu path is: "Main" > "Settings" > "Warnings."
