10.11 AIS alarms
The AIS functions generate a number of alarms to alert you to
dangerous or lost targets.
In addition to the dangerous target alarm previously described, the
system generates an alarm when a dangerous target becomes a
lost target i.e. its signal has not been received for 20 seconds.
Your AIS receiver generates local alarms which are displayed and
sounded on your multifunction display whenever an alarm condition
exists on the unit.
Local AIS alarms
When the connected AIS unit generates an alarm, your multifunction
display shows a local alarm message and indicates the alarm status
in the data bar icon.
Active AIS alarms list
The active alarm list shows the status of each local alarm. This list
can either be accessed via the Menu > AIS Layer Setup Menu, or
from the Menu > Alarms Setup Menu.
Note: When local AIS alarms are acknowledged, the target
is shown as dangerous (ashing, with a red outline), and the
active alarm status icon is displayed until the target is no longer
dangerous.
Acknowledging AIS alarms
In the chart or radar application:
1. Press the ACKNOWLEDGE softkey.
Note: An AIS alarm remains active until it is acknowledged on
your multifunction display.
10.12 Buddy tracking
You can congure your display to notify you when an AIS-equipped
friend or “buddy” comes within range of your vessel.
The Buddy Tracking feature enables you to add AIS-equipped
friends and regular contacts to a “Buddy List” on your multifunction
display. As soon as a vessel on your Buddy List sails into the range
of your AIS receiver, the vessel icon changes to indicate this.
How it works
When the AIS Layer is enabled in the chart or radar application, AIS
targets are shown on your display. You can add any AIS target to
a “Buddy List”, each entry consisting of an MMSI number, and an
optional name. Subsequently, whenever Buddy Tracking is enabled
on your mutlifunction display, and a “Buddy” vessel with an MMSI
number sails into the range of your AIS receiver, an AIS Buddy icon
is displayed. Up to 100 vessels may be added to the Buddy List.
Pre-requisites
The following items are required for the Buddy Tracking feature:
• For the purposes of using the Buddy Tracking feature, it is
assumed that your display is already connected to a suitable
AIS receiver.
• Only AIS-equipped vessels will be detected.
