1.27 Setting a Guard Alarm
Zone
The guard allows the operator to set the desired
range and bearing for a guard zone. When ships,
islands, landmasses, etc. violate the guard zone
an aural alarm sounds and the offending target
blinks to call the operator’s attention. Two areas
can be set, zone 1 (short dashed line) and zone 2
(long dashed line), and one may be active.
Selecting guard zone type
The guard alarm can be set to sound when a tar-
get either enters (or exits) the guard zone. You
can select which type of guard alarm you want to
use through the GUARD menu.
In alarm: The alarm sounds on targets entering
the guard zone. (IN) appears at the top right-hand
corner when the In alarm is selected.
Out alarm: The alarm sounds on targets exiting
the guard zone. (OUT) appears at the top
right-hand corner when the Out alarm is selected.

• The alarm should not be relied upon as
the sole means for detecting possible
collision situations.
• A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls
should be properly adjusted to be sure the
alarm system does not overlook target
echoes.
