Alarm messages
Caution
988-12718-003
The GC80/85 system will continually check for faults while the system is
running.
If a fault occurs, an alarm code will be displayed in the LCD, the Alarm lamp
will be flashing, and an audible alarm will be activated.
Up to 4 alarm codes may be displayed in the LCD at the same time to
indicate that several alarm situations are present. The last activated alarm
will be displayed on the right side of the display. The figure shows that
alarm codes 1, 3 and 2 were generated in that order.
If more than 4 alarms are active, this will be indicated with a dot behind
the last number as shown in the figure below. Further alarm codes may
then be displayed by pressing the "ARROW UP" button.
The example shows that alarm codes 2, 3, U, d and 7 were activated.
When an alarm is generated, bearing information from the GC80/85
may not be present or may have large error. Any equipment using
bearing information from the Gyro compass should therefore
immediately be operated according to the equipment's emergency
operating procedure.
