SPX-5 Sport system alarm messages

If a fault or failure occurs in the SPX-5 Sport system, an appropriate alarm message is
generated.
If this happens and unless otherwise stated, press standby to clear the alarm and
return to manual control, before you attempt to resolve the problem. If more than one
alarm occurs, as each alarm is cleared, the next is displayed.
Alarm messages, possible causes and remedies are detailed in the following table.
Alarm message
CURRENT LIMIT
DRIVE STOPPED
LOW BATTERY
LRN FAIL (code)
MOT POW
SWAPPED
Possible cause and remedy
Navigator not transmitting the correct data. Ensure sys-
tem cables are securely connected.
No bearing to waypoint information received from the
navigator.
Possible cause and remedy
Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much current due to
short-circuit or jamming. Check the drive unit.
The SPX-5 Sport system is unable to turn the rudder. This can occur if
the weather load on helm is too high, or if the (optional) rudder posi-
tion sensor has passed beyond the preset rudder limits or rudder end-
stops.
Manually check that the steering system operates comfortably and
that it is not being overloaded.
Check drive and, if appropriate, the rudder position sensor..
Supply voltage has dropped below acceptable limits.
• press standby to clear the alarm and return to hand steering
• start the engine to recharge the battery
• ensure the charging system is working correctly.
