SeaTalk failure STLK FAIL This silent alarm indicates that there is a wiring fault in the SeaTalk connection. Off course OFFCOURSE This alarm is activated when the vessel has been off course from the locked heading by more than the specified angle for more than 20 seconds (see Section 2. 3, Using Auto Mode). The alarm is cleared if the heading recovers or the course is changed, or if the operating mode is changed. Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 25 Wind shift WINDSHIFT This alarm is activated when a change in the apparent wind angle of more than 15° is detected (see Section 3. 2, Operation in Vane Mode). Large cross track error LARGE XTE This alarm is activated when the cross track error exceeds 0. 3 nm (see Section 3. 1, Operation in Track Mode). The alarm is cleared if the heading recovers or the course is changed, or if the operating mode is changed. Drive stopped DRIVESTOP This alarm is activated if: · the rudder reference transducer fails. This occurs if the weather load on helm is too high, or if the rudder position is past the preset rudder limits or the rudder end-stops. Data not received NO DATA This alarm is displayed in the following circumstances: · Compass not connected · Track mode is engaged and the vessel arrives at the last waypoint in the track · Track mode is engaged and the autopilot is not receiving SeaTalk navigation data. · Track mode is engaged and the position transducer (GPS, Loran, Decca) is receiving a low strength signal ­ this will clear as soon as the signal strength improves. · Vane mode is engaged and the autopilot has not received wind angle data for 30 seconds. The autopilot stops adjusting the heading as soon as data is lost. 26 ST5000 Plus SailPilot Owner's Handbook Waypoint advance NEXT WPT?The Waypoint Advance alarm sounds whenever the target waypoint number changes, which occurs in the following circumstances: · Automatic acquisition is selected by pressing track from Auto · Waypoint advance is requested by pressing track for 1 second in Track mode (SeaTalk Navigators only) · When the vessel arrives at the target waypoint and the navigator accepts the next waypoint · When the Man Overboard (MOB) function is activated in Track mode. When the alarm sounds, the pilot continues on its current heading, but displays the bearing to the next waypoint and the direction in which the boat will turn to take up that bearing. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, and press track to accept the waypoint advance. Alternatively, to cancel the alarm without accepting the waypoint advance, press standby to return to hand steering, or auto to return to Auto mode. Note: The waypoint advance will only operate on pilots receiving valid bearing to waypoint and waypoint number information. Low battery LOW BATT The Low Battery alarm sounds when the supply voltage drops below 10 V (±0. 5 V). Start the engine to recharge the battery. Watch alarm WATCH The Watch alarm is activated in Watch mode when the timer reaches 4 minutes. It is not available from Standby mode. Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 27 If you wish to set the Watch mode, the WATCH screen must be configured as one of the Data Pages for display, as described in section 5. 1. · When the timer reaches 3 minutes, the text on the display starts flashing to indicate the last minute of Watch alarm. · When the timer reaches 4 minutes, the audible Watch alarm is activated. Press auto at any time to silence the alarm and reset the timer to 4 minutes. (Pressing any other key resets the timer and performs the key's normal function). To clear Watch mode, press disp to display a different page, or press standby. Note: You cannot engage Auto mode from Watch mode ­ pressing auto only resets the Watch timer. Shallow alarm SHALLOW The Shallow alarm is activated on the ST5000 Plus if a shallow depth alarm is received via SeaTalk. · Press disp to cancel the alarm. Man overboard (MOB) If a man overboard (MOB) message is received from another instrument on the SeaTalk system, the text MOB is shown instead of the waypoint number for the XTE, DTW and BTW Data Pages. If the autopilot is operating in Track mode, the Waypoint Advance alarm will sound to notify the change in waypoint. 28 ST5000 Plus SailPilot Owner's Handbook Chapter 4: Customising the ST5000 Plus 29 Chapter 4: Customising the ST5000 Plus The ST5000 Plus provides setup and configuration options that are used to adjust the settings for the ST5000 Plus itself, the compass, and the autopilot. [. . . ] The display shows a series of stationary dashes · Data is not being received ­ check the cabling. The display shows "NO DATA" · The signals received from the navigator are too weak ­ refer to the navigator handbook for further action. · Wind trim data is not available ­ check the connection to the wind transducer.
