Target Plot
|
Provides a radar-like display of all
vessels within the selected range. The display is oriented
heading-up so it's very easy and natural to interpret. Dangerous
and lost targets are readily identified.
|
Graphical Plot Shows Crossing
Situations
|
Shows the relative position of a
target vs. your vessel at the closest point of approach. This
provides a graphical view of the crossing situation and clearly
indicates whether a target will pass ahead or behind.
|
CPA and TCPA
|
Computes the closest point of approach
and time until CPA. Alarms may be based on these and other
factors.
|
Bearing and Range
|
Computes the bearing and range to each
vessel. Bearing can be displayed in magnetic to facilitate easy
visual identification using your compass and binoculars
(requires magnetic variation data supplied by GPS). Bearings can
alternatively be displayed in true or relative to your vessel's
heading.
|
Prioritization
|
Vessels and alarms are presented in
priority order.
|
Filtering
|
To minimize clutter and false alarms,
vessels can be filtered from either display or alarms.
|
CPA alarm
|
Triggers alarm if a vessel will come
too close. Full control of alarm parameters.
|
Guard alarm
|
Sounds alarm if any vessel comes
within the specified range. Both CPA alarms and guard alarms may
be used together.
|
External alarm trigger
|
In addition to the internal alarm, an
external buzzer, alarm, or signal light can be interfaced
without requiring any additional relays (max 2A).
|
Consise and easy
to read displays
|
Uncluttered easy to read display shows
all available AIS data.
|
Class A and class B
|
Displays AIS data received from all
class A and class B transponders.
|
Safety messages
|
Displays received AIS Broadcast Safety
Messages. These messages may contain important safety,
navigation, weather, or shipping information.
|
Aids to navigation
|
Full support for AIS aids to
navigation including off-position and virtual aid indicators.
|
GPS failure alert
|
Alerts you if your GPS stops working.
|
Transponder
monitoring
|
When coupled with a transponder it
will alert you if the transponder has an operational problem,
such as transmission failure.
|

Each button is clearly labeled on-screen. Buttons are backlit
for night time use and illumination brightness is controllable.
Each setting has on-screen help.
|
Ultra-Low power consumption
|
Designed for minimal power consumption
the is extremely well
suited for energy conscious vessels.
|
External interface
|
Easy interfacing to optional
computers, chart plotters or other devices.
