10.3 Buzzer

The buzzer is used to indicate a system fault. There are two different
signals:
1. Continuously on. This indicates a danger fault. A danger fault is a
critical system fault which will result in limited or no steering and/
or shift and throttle performance and requires immediate action.
See Section 10.1.1.
2. Alternating on and off. This indicates a warning fault. A warning
fault is a non-critical system fault which may cause the steering
and/or boat speed to be reduced. See Section 10.1.2.
all signals require immediate attention.
When the buzzer sounds a screen will appear on the CANtrak indicating
the cause for the alarm. The screen will also display a "mute" button
which may be used to silence the alarm.

10.4 Reduced Performance

Under certain fault conditions the steering response and/or boat speed
will slow down. A typical cause might be a very low battery. When this
happens the CANtrak will advise the operator of the condition, indicate
the reason, and supply instructions.

10.5 Steering Fluid Loss

In an emergency condition, and if SeaStar EPS steering fluid is not
available, the following fluids may be used for a short period of time:
• SeaStar steering fluid
• Automatic transmission fluid
• Motor oil
If any of the above are used then the system should be flushed and
refilled with SeaStar EPS steering fluid when the boat is returned
to port.
In the event of an extreme emergency, any non-toxic, non-flammable
fluid may provide temporary steering.
