ACR Electronics Y1-03-0250, RLB-38 manual Servicing the QuickDraw, Self-Testing the beacon

CAUTION: Do not force the lid closed. If the lid does not close easily,

check to see that the beacon is properly installed in the bracket and the HydroFix™ is properly seated.

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 Satellite3 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.
