MAINTENANCE
The easyRESCUE requires the following maintenance:
At least every year (or even every six month), easyRESCUE
should be activated into test mode (i.e. pressing the "TEST"
button). The device should be located, where GPS signals can
be received (normally outside). The flashing GPS indicator
shows, that GPS position is available.
On a chart plotter nearby, which is able to display AIS targets
and that is connected to an AIS receiver, the AIS-SART should
be displayed with the safety text "SART TEST" at the right
position.
Note that the self test uses the internal battery and will
reduce the operational lifetime of the device - therefore the
number of tests should be limited.
The battery unit must be replaced every 5 year, because
batteries discharging themselves for a certain percentage. To
ensure long and reliable operation the battery unit must be
replaced every 5 years.
The batteries can only be changed by your distributor or
your re-seller. This is due to the reason that the batteries are
not available to the public and other elements have to be
changed, too (e.g. seals!)
