MaxSea TimeZero Alarms

MaxSea TimeZero Alarms

The Alarm options allow you to configure all of the various alarms and warnings that can be triggered by the software. Alarms are displayed at the very top of the screen. The Alarm Sound can then be customised for each individual Alarm. This allows you to trigger various sounds according to the type of Alarm.

TimeZero Alarms

The Alarm options allow you to configure all of the various alarms and warnings that can be triggered by the software: XTE Alarm (Cross Track Error), Alarm Zone, Depth Alarm, Sea Surface Temperature Alarm, Speed Alarm, CPA/TCPA Alarms, AIS Alarms, Anchor Watch Alarm…

As soon as the vessel meets a condition of an alarm :

A warning is displayed in red on the top of the screen
Alarm sound is triggered (if enabled)
Alarm is registered in the Alarm list

Alarm Sounds

The Alarm Sounds option allows the user to assign a sound to various alarms. 10 predefined sounds are installed within the software.

“Define Alarm Sounds” features allows the user to customise the sound independently for every Alarm:

Note: When selected, you can listen to the sound by clicking the play button. It is possible to replace the default sounds by overwriting the sound files pre-installed.

The Alarms feature in TimeZero adds an extra level of security to navigation. Setting up customised Alarms is quick and easy to do, so we recommend systematically using this function to make the most of TimeZero software.
