Audio Warning System

IMPORTANT: The audio warning system alerts the operator that a problem has occurred. It does not protect the engine from
damage.
Most faults cause the warning horn circuit to activate. How the warning horn activates depends on the severity of the problem.
There are two warning horn states:

Caution

Critical

There is also an alarm that sounds if the helm has not been properly configured using the G3 service tool.

Caution

If a caution state is detected, the audio warning system will sound for six one‑second intervals.
