The system monitors awareness of the Watch officer and automatically alerts the Master or another qualified person if, for any reason, the watch officer becomes incapable of performing watch officer’s duties. This purpose is achieved by series of indications and alarm to alert first the watch officer and, if he is not responding, then to alert Master or another qualified person. Additionally, the BNWAS provide the watch officer with means of calling for immediate assistance if required. BNWAS must operate whenever heading or track control system is interlocking unless prohibited by the captain.
This BNW-50’s settings are only adjustable by using password, therefore only authorized person (captain) can switch ON/OFF and change the setting of the system.
