158 Northstar 8000i Operation Manual
If the audio is set to sound, the alarm audio will sound once or continuously until
you acknowledge it or it resets automatically. It will interrupt any other audio that
is playing, such as the Music Jukebox.
The sound is output through any internal or external buzzers that are connected
to the 8000i, and through the entertainment system speakers if any other audio is
playing.
To set the audio for an alarm:
1. Select
Alarms to show the Alarm Log.
2. Select
Edit Alarms from the control panel. The 8000i displays the
Alarm Setup box which lists the alarms that you can change.
3. Use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down the list of alarms
and find the alarm.
4. Select the name of the alarm. The alarm is highlighted and the current
settings are shown under each button in the control panel. Buttons
that are not applicable to the selected alarm are shown in gray.
5. The
Audible button shows the current setting. Select the button if
you want to change the setting and the 8000i displays a drop down
list. There are three choices:
ƒ None means that the alarm audio does not sound
ƒ Once sounds the alarm once only
ƒ Continuous sounds the alarm sounds continuously until it's
acknowledged (or cleared automatically by the 8000i)
6. Select the new setting. The new setting is applied immediately and
stays until you change it again.
7. When you are finished, select Return, then select Return again.
29.6 Set the delay for an alarm
You can change the settings for some of the alarms.
The 8000i reads the sensor data regularly and monitors this against the alarm
trigger settings. Usually, the first time that a reading registers sensor data outside
the trigger settings, the alarm sounds immediately.
You can use the set delay to tell the 8000i to ignore the alarm until it's been
triggered a specific number of times.
For example, you can use set delay to ignore the Depth Alarm until it's been
triggered ten times in a row. This avoids a false Depth Alarm created by a shoal of
fish passing under your vessel.
To set the delay for an alarm:
1. Select
Alarms to show the Alarm Log.
2. Select
Edit Alarms from the control panel. The 8000i displays the
Alarm Setup box which lists the alarms that you can change.
3. Use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down the list of alarms
and find the alarm.
