*1 Voltage of the battery varies by temperature.
Especially, the voltage decrease is remarkable at the low temperature. At the low temperature, LED
might blink even if the battery voltage is normal.
This test result is effective at the ambient temperature 23°C ± 5°C.
Power consumption by performing this test is very little.
Even if performing this test every week until expiry date of the battery, the Satellite EPIRB still possible to
transmit the distress signal over 48 hours.
If an error is detected by this test or the effective periods of the battery and hydraulic pressure sensor
expired, contact the purchasing dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC branches.
The battery and hydraulic pressure sensor which expired effective periods must not absolutely be
used. If such battery and sensor are used, the distress signal may not be emitted at the
emergency disaster. Take care that their lives do not expire.
In this test, permitted distress signal for the test purpose is transmitted only by one burst.
Do not execute the test repeatedly in a short time frame.
Execute the test in 00 - 05 minutes of each o'clock for the reduction of processing capacity in the
satellite.
This test must not be performed, as the Satellite EPIRB main unit remains removed from the
automatic release bracket. The distress signal may erroneously be emitted.
If you want to replace or repair the battery or hydraulic pressure sensor, contact the purchasing
dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC branches.
