Study Notes
Power Supply in ECDIS
- ECDIS and its essential equipment must operate using an emergency power source compliant with SOLAS chapter II-1 regulations.
- Power transitions between sources or interruptions lasting up to 45 seconds shouldn't require manual re-initialization of the equipment.
Display Options for Route Monitoring
- Two distinct display options are available for route monitoring.
Primary Route Monitoring Display
- Includes the ship's position and relevant navigational information.
Alternate Display for Lookahead and Route Planning
- Displays a sea area without the ship's position.
- This display supports route planning and visualization.
- This display does not interfere with the primary route monitoring display.
Continuous Route Monitoring Functions
- Automatic route monitoring functions remain active on the primary display even while the alternative display is being used.
- This ensures continuous updates of ship’s position, alerts, and indications.
Switching between Displays
- A single operator action is required to return to the primary route monitoring display.
