1.16 Alarms
The FCV-295 has six conditions which gener-
ate both audio and visual alarms: bottom
alarm, normal fish alarm, bottom lock fish
alarm, water temperature alarm, speed alarm
and arrival alarm. (The water temperature,
speed and arrival alarms require appropriate
sensors.) When an alarm setting is violated
the audio and visual alarms are released. You
can silence the buzzer with any key. The visu-
al alarm (icon) remains on the screen until the
cause of the alarm is removed or the alarm is
disabled.
Bottom alarm: The bottom alarm alerts you
when the bottom is within the alarm range set.
To activate the bottom alarm the depth must
be displayed.
Fish (normal) alarm: The fish (normal) alarm
tells you when an echo above a certain
strength (selectable) is within the preset alarm
range or an echo is anywhere between the
transducer and the bottom.
Fish (bottom lock) alarm: The fish (bottom
lock) alarm sounds when fish are within a cer-
tain distance from the bottom. Note that the
bottom lock and bottom discrimination (1/2 or
1/3) displays must be turned on to use this
alarm.
Water temperature alarm: The water tem-
perature alarm alerts you when the water tem-
perature is within (inside alarm) the alarm
range set or under/over (outside alarm) the
range set.
Speed alarm: The speed alarm alerts you
when the ship’s speed is within (inside alarm)
or under/over (outside alarm) the preset
speed.
Arrival alarm: The "Inside" arrival alarm
alerts you when you approach to the destina-
tion waypoint by the distance set. Alternative-
ly, the "Outside" arrival alarm alerts when
your vessel travels a specific distance from
the destination waypoint.
