Depth Alarm : Alerts when the received depth Value from the optional FF525 (or FF520) 50/200kHz BLACK BOX
FISH FINDER or Depth Finder inputting NMEA data into the GPS Chart Plotter is lower than the
selected value. Available selections: 0000 to 3000FT.
Anchor Alarm : Alerts when the ships moves off a selected locations by a selected distance. Available selections:
0.00 to 9.99NM.
Audible Alarm : Enables or disables the alarm beep.
Grounding Alarm : This function looks ahead of the vessels heading to see if a potential danger exists. When the
Grounding Alarm is enabled the GPS Chart Plotter will draw a triangle in front of the vessel on the
Chart page showing the area that is being searched as shown below. The depth and range (distance)
of the area the GPS Chart Plotter looks ahead for a shallow area can be set using this function.
The following warning appears when the Grounding Alarm is enabled:
The Grounding Alarm function is available only if a NT
screen redraw speed so we suggest to disable it when not used.
When any of the objects checked are found for the first time, the GPS Chart Plotter shows a pop
up window to alert the user of the possible danger. The name of each new dangerous object found
is reported in the warning window. In the Grounding Alarm Report page the relative item has a tick
marker next to it, to identify the dangerous object currently detected. If in the next search cycle the
same objects are found again, the alarm window will not be shown. Instead, if in the next searches
the objects found before are no longer detected, their relevant item in the Grounding Alarm Report
page is cleared (note that in this case, if the same object type is found again later, the Alarm will
be shown). The GPS Chart Plotter shows an icon on the charts that identifies when a Grounding
Alarm is detected.
a. Ground Alarm Range : Allows setting the distance of the grounding alarm zone.
Available selections are 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0NM. The default selection is 0.25NM. When
a depth or a object is found in the scanned zone area a marker is printed in the Grounding
Alarm Report Page to identify which dangerous objects have been currently detected.
b. Grounding Alarm Report : Displays a report of dangerous objects found.

: Three selections:
a. Off - turn the simulation mode off
b. On - enable the simulator mode, where the speed and course are adjusted by entering
in values in the Course and Speed selection discussed later in this table.
c. Route - this selection allows you to navigate to a saved route.
: To start the simulator you can insert the Course value.
