The white high bright LED flashes when the
easyRESCUE-PRO is in the ON or TEST mode.
This powerful bright LED assists finding the
victim in darkness and under bad weather
conditions.
7 Functionality Check
By pushing the “TEST
”
button the device will undergo a full functional check:
The GPS receiver is switched on until a GPS position fix occurs. (Time limit for this test is 5
minutes.)
The received GPS position is transmitted via a sequence of eight AIS test telegrams alternat-
ing between the two international specified AIS frequencies. These telegrams can be re-
ceived by any AIS receiver/transceiver and displayed on the vessel’s Electronic
Chart Display.
The transmitted telegrams have the status of TEST telegrams; the clear text content of the
telegrams shows “
MOB
TEST”.
In parallel to the AIS transmissions, DSC test messages without position information are sent
to all programmed ship-IDs (MMSIs). This can be one to eight different vessels. Please refer
to chapter 8.1 to learn how vessel IDs can be programmed to the easyRESCUE-
PRO’s
ship-ID
memory. In the standard case only the MMSI of the VHF DSC Radio of your own ship is pro-
grammed.
The vessel’s VHF DSC Radio will receive the DSC test messages showing an audible alarm
and the MMSI of the calling easyRESCUE-PRO on the VHF DSC radio display. Manual ac-
knowledging the reception at the VHF DSC Radio results in an answer message sent back to
the easyRESCUE-PRO. The easyRESCUE-PRO will react with a long audible beep and the
green
“
DSC
”
LED will start flashing confirming the proper radio reception.
The TEST mode is finished, when all AIS telegrams have been sent; normally this takes
around one minute of time under open sky with sufficient GPS signal strength, but don´t be
concerned if it might take 3min
–
this is still perfect and depending on the surrounding
conditions. During shut down the status of the green
“
GPS
”
LED and the yellow
“
TEST
”
LED
represents the test result. Please see the table below.
Pushing
the “
TEST
”
button for more than 3 seconds during the time period the TEST is con-
ducted, the test mode is shut down without being finished. The Test end will be signalized
by a switch-off beep of the device.
