SARSAT WPT 2/2
This page enables the pilot to select the FMS update mode and the type of messages decoded from the DF.
Display SARSAT WPT 2/2 page:
(if a DF is configured) press [INIT/REF], <WPT LISTS> <SARSAT WPT> and [NEXT].
(if DF-430-102 is configured) press [RADIO], <DF>, <SARSAT WPT> and [NEXT].
(if TACT key is configured and SARSAT is configured on the TACTICAL page) press [TACT], <SARSAT> and
[NEXT].
UPDATE [5L]:
Toggle options: AUTO/MANUAL. When the AUTO mode is selected, the FMS compares the
new COSPAS-SARSAT message received with the SARSAT waypoints, if a SARSAT waypoint already exists
for this message, the waypoint information is updated, otherwise a new SARSAT waypoint is created. When the
MANUAL mode is selected, the FMS decodes and displays all messages received even if the messages
decoded is an update of an existing SARSAT waypoint. The default setting is AUTO. When toggling this option
from MANUAL to AUTO, the FMS keeps only the latest SARSAT waypoint received from a beacon, all duplicate
SARSAT waypoints are deleted. When toggling from AUTO to MANUAL, no deletion is performed.
This field is only applicable when DF-935-12 is configured. Otherwise, it is blanked.
TEST BEACON [5R]:
Toggle options: ON/OFF. When the message filter is set to "OFF", only the distress
messages are decoded and displayed. When the message filter is set to "ON", the distress and test messages
are decoded and displayed. The default setting is OFF. When toggling this option from ON to OFF, all TEST
SARSAT waypoints are deleted. When toggling from OFF to ON, no deletion is performed.
AUDIO ALERT [6R]:
Toggle options: ON/OFF. Upon reception of a new sarsat waypoint, when ON is selected,
a pulse is generated on the discrete output DF_SARSAT to activate an audio alert signal. When OFF is
selected, the audio alert is muted. The default setting is ON (reset on a cold start on ground).
This field is only displayed when DF_SARSAT discrete output is configured; otherwise, it is blanked.
