ABSTRACT:
A display system in a vessel which includes various sensors for detecting various operating and navigating conditions of the vessel and a single display unit for displaying information regarding these conditions. The single display unit is comprised of a fixed display which displays information regarding particular operating and navigating conditions that are frequently monitored. The single display unit also includes a variable display which has a standby state and a display state and which also has a plurality of alternate display modes and a warning display which automatically displays warning information regarding at least one of the conditions that is being sensed when the particular condition is detected to be outside of its predetermined range. A control unit maintains the variable display in its standby state wherein only a minimum amount of electric power is required when no output signal is received from any of the sensors which sense information that appears on the warning display indicating that the particular sensed condition is abnormal and when none of the alternate display modes has been selected. When warning information is sensed or when one of the alternate display modes is selected, the control unit applies rated electric power to the variable display to establish its display state.
