10.0 SYSTEM FAULTS & HAZARDS
10.1.1 Danger
A danger fault is a critical system fault which will result in limited
steering and/or shift and throttle performance and requires
immediate action.
Depending on the type of fault a variety of conditions might occur all
designed to provide the safest situation for returning to port. Some

The system will provide the safest alternative to normal operation.
In the case of a danger fault, the CANtrak buzzer will sound
continuously (until muted) and the CANtrak display will advise the
operator on how to proceed. See Section 10.2.1 for danger fault
handling specifics.
In the case of an EST system danger fault, in addition to the CANtrak
message and buzzer, both red lights on the control head will flash
red quickly (5 times per second).
In the case of a Joystick danger fault, in addition to the CANtrak
message and buzzer, the joystick Take Command button light will
flash red quickly (5 times per second).
10.1 Hazard Definitions
Should a fault occur, it will be communicated to the user though the
CANtrak display. Section 10.1 defines the two types of hazards you
may experience with the system and how the system will handle
each.
When a serious fault occurs, the operator should consider his or her
options. While the system has many features to allow the boat to
return to port in a slow and safe manner, local conditions or operator
skills may dictate that calling for assistance is the prudent thing to do.
