16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.1 Introduction The radar overlay has the radar echo image overlaid on the ECDIS chart display, in the Voyage navigation mode. The radar overlay video is received over LAN from the FAR-2xx7 or FCR-2xx9 series radar. Radar echo This ECDIS has many features to support exact match in scale and orientation of the chart and radar echo image. Exact match of the radar echo image and chart is an essential security feature.
16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.2 How to Setup the Radar Overlay Radar echoes can be output to the ECDIS and shown on its display. Like details on S57 charts, the radar overlay can be displayed or removed from the chart display. The transparency of the echo display can be set from the [Echo] page in the [Overlay/NAV Tools] box. To activate and setup the radar overlay, do the following: 1. Select the [Echo] page from the [Overlay/NAV Tools] box. 2.
16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.3 Error Between Radar Echo Image and Chart There are several reasons why the radar echo image and chart display do not match exactly. The mismatch is a combination of several reasons and removing one reason doesn't solve the mismatch perfectly. There is a fundamental difference between the radar echo image and corresponding chart feature. The radar echo is a reflection from the real life target and the actual position of the real life target is the front edge of the radar echo.
16. RADAR OVERLAY 16.4 Error Sources for Radar Echo Image and TT Mismatch There are several reasons why the radar echo image and tracked target symbols do not match exactly. 1. Different gyro value at radar overlay and at ECDIS. 2. Improper installation parameters (radar overlay bearing offset, radar overlay range offset, conning position offset). The example below shows how different gyro value set at radar overlay and at ECDIS affect the display of the ECDIS.
17. WEATHER OVERLAY 17.1 What is the Weather Overlay? The weather overlay, available in the Voyage navigation and Voyage planning modes, provides an animated display of weather information over time for the area selected. The information may include wave, ocean current, wind, temperature, cloud coverage, and precipitation rate. Spot weather information, which provides cursor-picked weather reports, is also provided. The weather overlay is driven by GRIB (Gridded Information in Binary) data files.
17. WEATHER OVERLAY When the weather overlay is made active, two weather overlay dialog boxes appear, [Weather Overlay Control] and [Weather Overlay]. The [Weather Overlay Control] dialog box selects and plays back weather data files. The [Weather Overlay] dialog box controls what weather information to display and how to display it.

25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) 25.1 What is an Alert Management System (AMS)? An AMS warns the navigator, with audio-visual indications, when safety parameters are violated or there is a failure of connected equipment. The AMS also transfers unacknowledged alerts to the BNWAS. The main functions of the AMS are • Organize and track alerts that occur on the vessel. The AMS displays the alerts on its HMI system and sounds a buzzer when an alert condition occurs. • Acknowledge alerts.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) Category of alerts Each alert is further put into the category A or category B. Category of alert Description Category A Category A alerts include alerts indicating • Danger of collision • Danger of grounding Category B Category B alerts are alerts where no additional information for decision support is necessary besides the information that is shown at the central alert management HMI. Category B alerts are all alerts not falling under category A.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) 25.4 Alert Category and Alert acknowledgement From Connected Equipment, AMS Category A alert Acknowledged from the equipment that generated the alert: The alert is acknowledged at both the equipment and the AMS and their buzzers stop. Acknowledged from the AMS: The alert is acknowledged at neither the equipment that generated the alert nor the AMS, however their buzzers stop.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) Device states A sensor has two main states, N and A. State N: No active alerts. The device should send a "no-alerts" message with an interval of a maximum of 60 seconds. This message informs the AMS that the sensor has no active alerts. State A: The device has one or more active alerts, of which zero or more may have been acknowledged and the rest (possibly zero) are unacknowledged.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) 25.7 How an Alert is Transferred to the BNWAS Alerts are transferred to the BNWAS in the following sequence. Note: For a DNV class vessel, only category A alerts are transferred. 1) An alert generated by an equipment connected to the AMS is transferred to the BNWAS if it is not acknowledged within 30 seconds. 2) The BNWAS sends the Emergency Call to applicable Cabin Panels in living quarters and general quarters, to inform personnel of an unacknowledged alert.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) 25.8 Change of Priority for Unacknowledged Warning IMO MSC302(87) requires that a Warning be changed to an Alarm if it is not acknowledged within 60 seconds. The change of priority feature is enabled or disabled during the installation. Acknowledge 60 seconds Not acknowledged A Warning is generated. 25.9 The Warning becomes an Alarm and is then transferred to the BNWAS.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) IEC 61924-2 buzzer pattern This buzzer complies with INS regulations. There are two types of buzzer patterns, Emergency/Alarm and Warning. Emergency/Alarm: The buzzer sounds three times in 7-second intervals. Emergency/Alarm generated. ACK 7 seconds Buzzer ON Buzzer muted Time Buzzer OFF 0.5 seconds IEC 61924-2 mode, emergency/alarm priority buzzer Warning: The buzzer sounds twice and is then muted. ACK Warning generated.
25. ALERT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (option) 25.12 Alert Icons The alert icons show the state of all alerts.

Route steering alerts Alert "150 Early Course Change Indication" appears 90 seconds before you arrive to the wheel over line (WOL).
26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.8 Route Steering Operations 26.8.1 How to stop or change a pre-enabled turn in route steering There are two conditions where an automatic turn in a route must be stopped or changed: • The turn cannot be done to the last value. • The turn is outside of the planned turn (too fast or too slow). How to stop a turn FAP-2000, PR-6000, PT-500A: Change the steering mode from NAVI to HAND. FAP-3000: Change the steering mode from REMOTE CONTROL to HAND.
26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS 26.8.2 Collision avoidance maneuver in route steering Route steering is often interrupted by a collision avoidance maneuver, but there are also several other reasons to interrupt route steering. There are several possibilities to set the collision avoidance or any other maneuver: • • • • Use the Non-Follow-Up steering lever to directly control rudder pumps. Use the Override steering. Use the Follow-Up rudder control. (Change mode from NAVI*1 to HAND.
26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS * The Track Control System can compensate drift up to 45 degrees.
