Responsibility Transfer Alert - Furuno FAR-2228-NXT Operator's Manual

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1.52.7

Responsibility transfer alert

MSC302(87) requires the use of the “responsibility transfer alert” which functions in
the multiple sensor, multiple equipment installation. When one sensor or one equip-
ment fails but does not disturb the system operation (other sensor or equipment is nor-
mal), the AMS automatically sends the “responsibility transfer alert” (ACN sentence)
to the sensor or equipment that generated the alert.
If the sensor or equipment refuses the responsibility transfer, normal operation is re-
stored.
If the HBT sentence is not received from the AMS within the prescribed time interval,
the alert processed as responsibility transfer alert is made active.
