4. Release the switch and put the EPIRB back into the bracket.What the self test actu-
ally does is first to wait app. 15 seconds to allow the reference oscillator inside the
EPIRB to warm up.Then a short burst is transmitted by the 121.5 MHz transmitter,
while the output level of the transmitter is checked. Finally, a test signal is transmitted
by the 406 transmitter. During this test signal the battery voltage, output power and
frequency is checked.

by the 406 transmitter. During this test signal the battery voltage, output power and

While testing the 406 MHz transmitter a test message is transmitted, this test message
is coded with a special synchronisation code and will not be detected by the COSPAS/
SARSAT satellites.The purpose of this test message is to control the actual coding of
the EPIRB.This can be done with the JOTRON test unit TronDEC/UniDeck or an other
EPIRB checker.

• Indicators:
The Tron 40GPS is equipped with a LED and a built in strobe light to show operation
of the EPIRB.
The strobe light and LED will normally flash with a frequency of 20 per minute to
show that the EPIRB is activated.

The EPIRB is normally stored in its bracket.The bracket contains means to prevent acci-
dental activation of the EPIRB.The bracket should be mounted
in a place that is easily available for periodic testing, and a place which is easily accessible
in case an emergency situation occur.
