Garmin Anchor Drift Alarm - Regal 53 SC Owner's Manual

Auxiliary Equipment Operation

GARMIN ANCHOR DRIFT ALARM

As part of the Garmin system, an anchor drift alarm op-
tion is available. If installed the system features a display
panel shown above including a warning light, alarm and 2
amp breaker for overcurrent protection for the switch and
alarm. The footprint of the alarm is set on the chartplotter.
Basically the operator sets the amount of anchor drift and
activates the display switch to the "on" position. The alarm
communicates through a NMEA 0183 port connected to
the Garmin electronics.
If the amount of drift is outside the drift limits the light
will illuminate on the display and the alarm will sound. To
deactivate the alarm, turn the display switch to the "off "
position. The red warning light will stay lighted until the
anchor is within the drift perimeter either by the vessel
drifting back or the chartplotter being recalibrated.
To set the anchor drift alarm:
Navigation Alarms
Select settings>Alarms>Navigation.
Anchor drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a
specifi ed drift distance while anchored.
