5.2 • Testing
A full system test is performed prior to the sMRT V100/V100X being
installed into an MRT approved PFD. The device is [OFF] when shipped in
a PFD and needs to be configured to the [READY] state prior to use. A full
system test should also be performed.
After deployment into active service, a regular full system test of the sMRT
V100/V100X should be performed every 3 months. Do not test the device
more than once per month as this could affect battery performance in an
emergency. MRT mandates each device is returned to MRT, or an
authorised MRT service agent, for annual servicing and recertification.
WARNINGS:
1. DO NOT unzip the PFD. Use the device access point to prepare
the sMRT V100/V100X for use. DO NOT remove the
ACTIVATION TAB during setup as this will activate the device
and send distress alerts.
2. Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky during testing to
receive a GPS signal.
3. If the sMRT V100/V100X fails any element of a self-test or any
full system test, take it out of service immediately.
4. If the battery test indicates less than 12 hours of battery life
remaining, return the device to MRT or an authorised MRT
service agent for battery replacement.
5. DO NOT ignore a low battery warning as the device may not
operate to full capacity in a man overboard emergency.
