19.7. Anchor Alert

Another alarm is the co-called anchor alert.
It uses the internal GPS of the easyTRX2 (-IS) to report the leaving of the
ship from the anchor position. As with the CPA alert the LED flashes and
the supply voltage is impressed to the corresponding pair of conductors.
We recommend the accessory "easyCPA" which generates a loud alarm
sound (approx. 95 decibel).
If the ship is at anchor it is possible to save the anchor position via switch
or via this software. In that case the anchor alert is activated. The LED
flashes or alarm sound rings twice briefly for confirmation.
Please keep in mind that the ship may swing around the anchor position
and thus trigger a false alarm. It must also be observed that that the GPS
position accuracy might vary for up to 10 m (depending on satellite-
constellation or weather conditions). As a result please do not choose a
too small alerting radius.
The hardware switch of the des easyTRX2 (-IS) set to the function
„RxOnly" (or Silent) by default. If you choose the possibility to set the
easyTRX2 (-IS) to „reception mode only" is not important you may change
the switch function to "anchor alert". This makes the use of the anchor
alert easier and more practicable as you do not need a PC or Laptop for
activation.
In the event of an anchor alert the LED flashes and the „easyCPA" is
beeping continuously.
