There are various types of DSC position messages, including distress calls. The type of message made determines information sent with the call, and how the radio and MFD respond to the incoming call. When a DSC message has been received, the MFD will display a DSC vessel icon on the chart panel and radar panel at the received coordinates. In addition, some radios will send COG and SOG with the position data. This allows for correct orientation of the icon. When receiving a distress message you will see an alarm box informing you that a message has been received. This can be read under the messages tab on the vessels dialog. Select the vessels button in the toolbar to display the vessels dialog. AIS SART When an AIS SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is activated, it starts transmitting its position and identification data. This data is received by your AIS device. If your AIS receiver is not compliant with AIS SART, it interprets the received AIS SART data as a signal from a standard AIS transmitter. An icon is positioned on the chart, but this icon is an AIS vessel icon. If your AIS receiver is compliant with AIS SART, the following takes place when AIS SART data is received: • An AIS SART icon is located on the chart in the position received from the AIS SART. The AIS SART icon is red when in 'Active' state. It is green when in 'Test' state. • An alarm message is displayed. If you have enabled the siren, the alarm message is followed by an audible alarm. Ú Note: The icon is green if the received AIS SART data is a test and not an active message. AIS SART alarm message When data is received from an AIS SART, an alarm message is displayed. This message includes the AIS SART's unique MMSI number, and its position, distance, and bearing from your vessel. You have the following options: • Ignore the alarm - The alarm is muted and the message closed. The alarm does not reappear. Ú Note: If you ignore the alarm, the AIS SART icon remains visible on your chart, and the AIS SART remains in the vessels list. • Save the waypoint - The waypoint is saved to your waypoint list. This waypoint name is prefixed with MOB AIS SART - followed by the unique MMSI number of the SART. For example, MOB AIS SART - 12345678. • Activate the MOB function - The display switches to a zoomed chart panel, centered on the AIS SART position. - The system creates an active route to the AIS SART position. Ú Note: If the MOB function is already active, this will be terminated and replaced by the new route towards the AIS SART position. Ú Note: If the AIS stops receiving the AIS SART message, the AIS SART remains in the vessels list for 10 minutes after it receives the last signal. 18 ADDENDUM | Zeus Series
