9. Servicing the QuickDraw
™
To
remove a beacon from the Category II bracket, press the “PUSH” lever to
release the beacon from the bracket. The beacon will now be able to
forward and down out of the bracket.
It is not anticipated that the QuickDraw
™
will require servicing other than
cleaning or, rarely, replacement.
NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it must be accompanied
by the bracket.
10. Self-Testing the beacon
The Satellite
3
406™ beacon may be self-tested as is warranted, up to a
maximum of sixty times in the five-year life of the battery, or once per month
for the life of the battery. Self-Tests can be performed randomly, however,
ACR recommends that you perform the Self-Test on a once per month
schedule. Do not exceed sixty (60) Self-Test cycles limit in the five-year life
of the battery, to conserve the battery for emergency use.
The functional Self-Test is initiated by momentarily
lifting the Activation Switch to a vertical position and
holding it in this position for at least one second and at
most four seconds. A beep indicates the initiation of
the Self-Test sequence. Self-Test will check battery
capacity and perform four functional test sequences as
described below.
TEST SUCCESS FAIL
EEPROM Connect Beep, Green LED Test Stopped, Red LED
Lock Circuit Beep, Green LED Test Stopped, Red LED
Signal Strength Beep, Green LED Test Stopped, Red LED
Locator Light Beep, Green LED, Strobe Test Stopped, Red LED
Summary Green LED
The last green LED indicates a successful test. If any of the individual tests
fail during Self-Test, there will be two beeps and a red LED flash at the end
of the Self-Test. Self-Test will discontinue at that point.
NOTE: The “beeps” are a very high-pitched tone that some people may not
be able to hear. You may count the green LED flashes.
