The central alarm system outputs these and other alarms: low voltage alarm, stop alarm (track control), position
differential alarm, heading differential alarm, course error alarm, cross-track error alarm, sensor alarm, low speed
alarm, destination arrival alarm, track control loss alarm, etc. For more information about the alarms the central
alarm system displays see its Operator's Manual.
The ship is not following set course.
The speed is below 20% or above 120% of MCR speed (max. cruising speed). For
further details, see the Autopilot's operator's manual.
Another reason is that the trackpilot has lost speed data from the ECDIS. In this case,
the trackpilot uses its backup speed source or last plausible speed.
Autopilot FAP-2000 uses rudder up to its set limit value. Normally this is only an
indication, but if it continues for a long period and the heading of the ship doesn't turn, it
is an indication of failure of the steering system. For further details, see the Autopilot's
operator's manual.
