9.Servicing the LowPro3™
To remove a beacon from the Category II bracket, lift the latch and release the pressure from the beacon. The beacon will now be able to slide upwards out of the bracket.
It is not anticipated that the LowPro3™ will require servicing other than cleaning or, rarely, replacement.
Brackets are a key part of the overall beacon system. They hold a beacon ready for deployment while preventing false alarms.
NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it must be accompanied by the bracket.
10.Self-Testing the beacon
The RLB-37 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 five functional test sequences as described in the digital display Appendix.
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. When performing the Self-Test, you may follow the messages on the digital display or you may count the green LED flashes.
