2.1.4 Off Course Alarm
An alarm will sound if the vessel has deviated from its desired course by more
than a set number of degrees. This can be caused by a number of steering faults,
any of which require attention by the crew.
The angle at which this alarm sounds may be set to any value between 1 and
180 degrees.
To set the off-course alarm angle
In any mode press [MENU] to display Function menu. Rotate the Knob to move
cursor to "Off Course Alarm" and press the Knob to confirm. Rotate the Konb
to change setting from 0~180 degrees and press the Knob to save setting or
press [ESC] to exit without save the setting.
When the allowable angle is exceeded, the off-course alarm will sound and a
flashing "OFF COURSE" will show on display. When the vessel is brought on
to its correct course again, the alarm will cease.
Note that the alarm will sound if a large course change is entered. This alarm
will cease as soon as the vessel completes its course change. The alarm may
also sound when changing from one section of a GPS route to another, and will
cancel itself when the course change is completed.
The default value for the off-course angle (ie the one set when the KAP-866 is
turned on) is 30 degrees.
