6.7 Anchor-Alarm

Another alarm is the co-called anchor alert.
It uses the internal GPS of the easyTRX2S 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 "easyCPA³" (A056) 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). In case that the GPS
receiver has got no position fix because of cloud coverage, an acoustic
alert is also triggered. As a result please do not choose a too small
alerting radius.
The hardware switch of the des easyTRX2S set to the function „RX
ONLY" (or Silent) by default. If you choose the possibility to set the
easyTRX2S 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 „easyCPA³" is
beeping continuously.
