The alarm system

The Zeus Touch system will continuously check for dangerous situations and system faults
while the system is running. When an alarm situation occurs, an alarm message will pop up
on the screen.
If you have enabled the siren, the alarm message will be followed by an audible alarm, and
the switch for external alarm will go active.
The alarm is recorded in the alarm listing so that you can see the details and take the
appropriate corrective action.

Type of messages

The messages are classified according to how the reported situation will affect your vessel.
The following color codes are used:

Single alarms
A single alarm is displayed with the name of the alarm as the title, and with
details for the alarm.
Multiple alarms
If more than one alarm is activated simultaneously, the alarm message will
display a list of up to 3 alarms. The alarms are listed in the order they occur
with the alarm activated first at the top. The remaining alarms are available
