1. HOW THE BRIDGE ALARM

SYSTEM OPERATES

The FURUNO BR-1000 Bridge Alarm System has the following purposes:

• Bridge Alarm: Control all warning notices from the navigation equipment installed
on the bridge.

• Watch Safety Alarm: Monitor bridge activity to detect operator disability which can
cause marine accidents.

1.1 Bridge Alarm

The bridge alarm controls all the warning notices from the navigation equipment in­stalled on the bridge. When an equipment gives an alarm, the alarm is sent in three
stages.

• 1st stage: When a device connected to this system sends an alarm, the system
gives 30-second long visual (flashing lamp) and audible (buzzer) alarms from the
Bridge Panel and the Timer Reset Panel to tell the Officer of the Watch (hereafter
called OOW) on the bridge.

• 2nd stage: If the OOW does not acknowledge the 1st stage alarm, the Cabin Panel
in the living quarters of the selected back-up officer and the Cabin Panels fitted in
public areas give audible and visual alarms.

• 3rd stage: if no one acknowledges the 2nd stage alarm within the selected time in-
terval (90-180 s), all the Cabin Panels fitted in living quarters of all navigation offic­ers and public areas give audible and visual alarms.

To stop the audible alarm, press the BUZ STOP key on the Bridge Panel. The audible
alarm stops at the Bridge Panel, Timer Reset Panel and the equipment that gave the
alarm.

After you stop the audible alarm, press the ACK key to acknowledge the alarm. The
Bridge Panel displays the visual alarm “Pending” and the visual alarm at the Timer Re­set Panel is stopped. The “Pending” indication remains on the Bridge Panel until the
cause for the alarm is removed. Stop the audible alarm BEFORE
the alarm. If the buzzer is not stopped first, the visual alarm is not stopped when you
press the ACK key.

1.2 Watch Safety Alarm

The main purpose of the watch safety alarm is to monitor bridge activity on the ship
that uses a “one-man bridge”. The system looks for the operation of equipment within
the selected time interval (3-12 minutes). The OOW validates operator fitness on the
bridge with the WATCH/RESET button on the Timer Reset Panel or any operation on
the Bridge Panel. The system also acknowledges the presence of the OOW if some
equipment connected to the BR-1000 (radar, ECDIS, etc.) is operated. The watch
safety alarm has four stages, one a prewarning stage.

• Prewarning: If the OOW does not validate operator fitness within the selected time
interval, a lamp on the Bridge Panel flashes (in red) and a lamp on the Timer Reset
Panel flashes (in yellow) for 15 seconds.

Variable (90-180 s)

3rd stage

Visual ALM (lighting)

+ Audible ALM

1-2

• 1st stage: If the OOW does not validate operator fitness in the prewarning stage,
the lamps flash an additional 15 seconds and a 15-second audible alarm sounds.

• 2nd stage: If the OOW does not validate operator fitness at the 1st stage, the alarm
is sent to the Cabin Panel in the living quarters of the selected back-up officer and
all the Cabin Panels fitted in public areas. These Cabin Panels give visual (illumi­nated lamp) and audible (buzzer) alarms.

• 3rd stage: If the OOW does not validate operator fitness within the selected time
interval (90-180 s), the Cabin Panel in the living quarters of all navigation officers
and all the Cabin Panels fitted in public areas give audible and visual alarms (illumi­nated lamp).

1. HOW THE BRIDGE ALARM SYSTEM OPERATES

The OOW stops the audible alarm and acknowledges the alarm. Then, audible and
visual alarms at the Bridge Panel, Cabin Panels and Timer Reset Panel are removed
and the watch safety timer is reset.

The interpretation of the prewarning 15-second visual alarm (flashing) and the15-sec­ond visual (flashing) and audible (buzzer) alarms at the 1st stage depends on the
mode type selected. The BR-1000 can be configured for IMO (International Maritime
Organization) or DNV (Det Norkse Veritas, Norwegian classification society).

IMO: Alarm given for 30 seconds AFTER
DNV: Alarm given for 30 seconds BEFORE

The required mode can be selected from the Service menu.

The watch safety alarm checks for the presence of the OOW on the bridge in the one­man bridge operation. If a radar, ECDIS or Bridge Panel is operated within the select­ed time interval, no alarm is given. If no equipment is operated, the Bridge Panel gives
an alarm to tell the OOW. If that alarm is not acknowledged at the bridge, the alarm is
then sent to the Cabin Panel in the quarters of the back-up officer and all the Cabin
Panels fitted in public areas. If those alarms are not acknowledged, the alarm is sent
to the quarters of all navigation officers.

The watch safety alarm is given in the following conditions.

1) One-man mode

The watch safety alarm activates when the track control system or heading control
system goes on for the attended mode. The watch safety alarm is inoperative in
the Harbour mode.

Bridge Panel does not function
after you press the BRILL key.

A key on the Bridge Panel is
operated, but there is no
response.

When the Bridge Panel is started,
the start-up screen shows ROM
NG or RAM NG.

An alarm is not sent to a Cabin
Panel.

• Check if the AC-DC Power Supply unit is pow­ered. (The power lamp is on if powered.)

• Check if the breaker on the AC-DC Power Supply
unit has activated. (The orange button on the
front panel is “out”.) Check if the power lamp is il­luminated.

• Check if the fuse in the power cable for the Bridge
Panel has blown.

• Check that the power connector is connected.

• Check for corrosion on the power cable.

• Check if the power cable is damaged.

Reset the power and operate the key. If the key
does not operate, contact your dealer.

Reset the power. If NG appears again, contact your
dealer.

Do the procedure in section 6.4 to check the wiring
in the Cabin Panel.

6.4 How to Check Connection Between Bridge Panel and Cabin Panels

You can check the connection between the Bridge Panel and each Cabin Panel. The
tested Cabin Panel sends a test signal to the Bridge Panel through the Processor Unit.
The Bridge Panel receives the test signal then commands the Cabin Panel to light its
lamps and give the buzzer for three seconds.

This test is not available for the Timer Reset Panels (incl. Watertight Timer Reset Pan­el) because they are fitted on the same bridge as the Bridge Panel.

The sequence to check the connection is shown below.

BR-1010

(3) Bridge Panel controls the Processor Unit

Channel for
Cabin Panel

(4) Each lamp lights
and the buzzer sounds.

Press the ALARM and DUTY keys together on a Cabin Panel to test. The following
occurs:

• The test signal is input to the test channel for the tested Cabin Panel.

• The Bridge Panel controls the Processor Unit to tell the tested Cabin Panel to light

its lamps and give the buzzer for three seconds.

• The tested Cabin Panel lights its lamps and gives the buzzer for three seconds.

Note 1: The watch alarm timer is not reset during the test.
Note 2: A Cabin Panel that is currently forwarding an alarm cannot be tested. Howev-

er, you can test the Cabin Panels that are not forwarding an alarm. (For example, in
the 2nd stage, a Cabin Panel other than the one in the back-up officer’s quarters can
be tested.)
