DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer Daniamant Electronics The following readings are available on the main screen: 2.3.1. Heel Angle Instantaneous heel angle is displayed in two different forms: ◾ Numeric display Heel angle is indicated by the numeric display at the center of the screen and is refreshed every 0.1 second.
Power supply status is indicated on the top of the screen. When the main power supply is in normal condition, the text “POWER OK” will be displayed. Otherwise, if the main power supply fails, the DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer will operate on the emergency power supply and the text “MAIN POWER FAILURE” will be displayed.
DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer Daniamant Electronics ◾ Brightness level The current brightness level is shown on the lower left corner of the screen. Refer to section 2.6.4 for more information about brightness adjustment. ◾ Running Indication A rotating line is shown on the lower left corner of the screen as a running indication. It shall be always rotating as long as the display unit is running properly.
Sensor Failure Warning will not be generated unless the Display Unit fails to receive valid sensor data for more than 5 seconds. NOTICE 2.4.4. Power Failure Warning When the main power supply fails, the DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer will operate on DanEI-300 UM1 v1.6...
This warning can be acknowledged locally. 2.5. Trend Plots The DanEI-300 Electronic Inclinometer provides the following trend plots: ◾ Heel angle, for the last 3 minutes; ◾ Roll amplitude to port and to starboard, for the last 30 minutes.
