Battery Data Reader
The Artex programming software provides the means to determine battery usage and
total battery activations.
NOTE
: The software routine logs battery life in 30-second increments. A minimum of
30 seconds is added to the battery usage total each time the ELT is activated and de-
activated. If the ELT is left activated beyond the first 30 seconds, additional time is
added in 30-second increments.
Battery usage is given in hours and minutes, plus total number of activations (count) is
also provided. To read the battery data:
1.
Tap the Artex icon on the Home screen.
2.
Tap the upper left-hand corner of the Artex main screen (Artex ELT Programmer
header) to get the Screens drop-down menu.
3.
Select “Read” in the drop-down menu.
4.
Tap the “Down” arrow and select “Read Bat”.
5.
Tap “Read”.
