Setting A Guard Alarm Zone - Furuno FR-8051 Operator's Manual

1.28 Setting a Guard Alarm
Zone
The guard allows the operator to set the desired
range and bearing for a guard zone. When ships,
islands, landmasses, etc. violate the guard zone
an aural alarm sounds and the offending target
blinks to call the operator's attention. Two areas
can be set, zone 1 (short dashed line) and zone 2
(long dashed line), and one may be active.
WARNING
• The alarm should not be relied upon
as the sole means for detecting
possible collision situations.
• A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN should
be properly adjusted to be sure the
alarm system does not overlook
target echoes.
Selecting guard zone type
The guard alarm can be set to sound when a tar-
get either enters (or exits) the guard zone. You
can select which type of guard alarm you want to
use through the GUARD menu. N-type: IN type
alarm only.
In alarm: The alarm sounds on targets entering
the guard zone. (IN) appears at the top right-hand
corner when the In alarm is selected.
Out alarm: The alarm sounds on targets exiting
the guard zone. (OUT) appears at the top
right-hand corner when the Out alarm is selected.
