NOTE!
The EPIRB module performs a complete self-test before any
emergency signals are transmitted. The Transmitters will start after
approx. 70 seconds. At the same time GPS receiver is started. This
is done to prevent the GPS receiver to start in TEST position.
Turning the switch back to the READY position stops the
transmission. If the Capsule is out of the bracket, make sure the
battery compartment is dry to prevent activation of the seawater
contacts.
5.3 Automatic operation of EPIRB module
When the capsule is removed from the release mechanism and
placed into water it will automatically activate due to the seawater
contacts. Transmission will stop when the capsule is lifted out of
the water, and if necessary dried off.
When placed in the automatic release mechanism the seawater
contacts are disabled.
When the mechanism is reaching a depth of 2-4 meters, the capsule
will be released and transmission will start automatically.
Note!
There is a time delay of approx. 10 seconds of
activation/deactivation with the seawater contact.
5.4 Testing the EPIRB module
To perform the self-test, the Capsule has to be removed from the
bracket.
