D Category
The BAM concept has 3 categories, A,

that can be presented at the central
alert management (CAM) HMI.

D Priority
The alerts are classified into 4 priorities,
Emergency Alarm, Alarm, Warning, and
Caution. You can receive alerts of the
"Warning" and "Caution" priorities.
• Warning: A condition requiring
immediate attention, but
Rotate
no immediate action by the
bridge team.
+
Warnings are presented
Push
for precautionary reasons
to make the bridge team
aware of changed conditions
that are not immediately
hazardous, but may become
so if no action is taken.
• Caution: The lowest priority alert.
Awareness of a condition
that does not warrant an
alarm or warning condition,
but still requires attention out
of the ordinary consideration
of the situation or of given
information.
D Responsibility transfer
The Central Alert Management (CAM)
is the system that centrally manages
alerts from multiple bridge equipment.
The GM600 can be connected to the
CAM system.
If the CAM system has additional
knowledge regarding an alert situation,
which caused the GM600 to raise an
alert, it may apply for responsibility
transfer.
This will reduce the number of high-
priority audible alerts for one situation
that requires attention.
In that case, the CAM system will follow
the following procedures:
• If practicable, raise a new alert with a
lower priority.
• Request the GM600 to accept the
transfer of the responsibility for
the alert that is raised to report the
situation requiring attention.
