Extended self-test (GPS test)
Upon completion of an extended self-test, a self-test will automatically
occur. However, only when the extended test is successful. During an
extended self-test, a GPS position is received. During the automatic self-
test, the position is sent on 406.037 MHz. An EPIRB tester can be used to
verify the GPS position during a self-test.
Limit this test to a maximum of once a month as this
testing reduces the lifetime of the EPIRB battery. The
Tron 40VDR can only complete 60 GPS tests during the
lifetime of 1 battery.
To perform an extended self-test including GPS, do the following:
1.
Move switch to the test position twice within 3 seconds and
release back to the ready position.
The EPIRB will beep shortly every 3 second until the GPS
position is acquired.
