1.3 TRON 40VDR Float Free Capsule
1.3.1 General
The information about the TRON 40VDR provided in this chapter is based on the ‘User Manual’
of Jotron. For full information about the TRON 40VDR Netwave Systems refers to the User Manual
of Jotron. This user manual:
-
is hardcopy enclosed to the delivery box of the TRON 40VDR.
-
is available on the USB-card enclosed to this hardcopy Netwave manual.
-
or can be found on the internet site of Jotron.
The TRON 40VDR Float Free Capsule is under the regulation according to SOLAS Chap.IV
reg.15.9.2 and IMO MSC.Circ 1039 guideline. The TRON 40VDR Float Free Capsule is compliant
to this guideline.
Although the TRON 40VDR is part of the APT/shore-based maintenance (GMDSS, see 1.3.6),
Jotron recommends to test/inspect the TRON 40VDR monthly. There are three kinds of
tests/inspections which should be performed.
1. Normal self test
2. Extended self-test including the GPS
3. Visual inspection
1.3.2 Normal self-test
What the normal self-test does is send out a short test signal on 121,5 and 406,037MHz, testing
the output of the transmitter. While transmitting the test signal, the battery voltage, output power
and phase lock is tested. During the test of the 406MHz transmitter a test message is transmitted,
this test message is coded with a special synchronization code and will not be recognized as real
alert by the Cospas-Sarsat satellites.
To perform the self-test, the EPIRB must be removed from the FB-40 bracket.
1. Release FB-40 top cover by removing the cotter pin.
2. Take TRON 40VDR out of the bracket.
3. Push and hold switch in TEST position for 15 seconds. Keep hands and other objects away
from the antenna.
4. Test passed after one single flash only.
5. Release the switch and put the EPIRB back into the bracket.
1.3.3 Extended self-test including GPS-test
To perform the extended self-test, the EPIRB must be removed from the FB-40 bracket.
Note 1:
The GPS test might take up to 2 minutes to be successful. Limit this test to max. once per
month as this test will reduce the lifetime of the EPIRB battery.
Note 2:
This test includes the normal self-test and therefore only one of them are necessary.
Note 3:
The extended self-test is imitated to 60 for a period of 5 years.
