Which of the following is NOT listed as a case in which your ARPA will alarm?

ARPA alarms are driven by events that affect tracking reliability and collision avoidance. They alert you when the system loses a target, when the ARPA itself has failed, or when a target enters a guard zone around your vessel, signaling increasing risk and the need for action. Equipment overheating isn’t a listed ARPA alarm condition because it’s a general equipment fault, not a navigation safety alarm tied to target tracking or collision avoidance. So it isn’t something the ARPA would trigger as an alarm category. The other scenarios—ARPA failure, losing a target, and a target entering a guard zone—are all conditions that directly impact the ARPA’s ability to safely monitor targets and therefore are designed to generate alarms.
