USING THE FPR-100

5.1

Programming

The FPR-100 can program the ACR/RLB-27, RLB-28 (Satellite 406), RLB-32

(Satellite

), RLB-33 (RapidFix), RLB-35 GlobalFix and PLB (GyPSI 406).

Programming is accomplished by first generating a message in the computer by inputting

information based on the unit and protocol selected. Data is then sent to the interface unit

and the interface unit handles all further communications with the beacons via infrared

light. To program any of the above mentioned products perform the following steps:

1. From the Product Selection Menu click the button for the product you wish to

program.

2. Click the model of the product you want to program, e.g. 2754 / 2756 / 2758 / or 2759

for a Satellite 406.

3. From the Option Selection Menu click the Generate New Hex ID button.

4. Choose the country you want to input into the beacon by either typing the name of the

country or scrolling to the country. Once you have selected the country, press Enter

or double click the mouse on the desired country.

5. From the Protocol Selection Menu click on the appropriate protocol. See notes

below for clarification of the different protocols.

6. When prompted enter the value corresponding to the protocol chosen, e.g. if serial

protocol is chosen enter the appropriate serial number.

Note 1: MMSI is defined as the 9 digit ship identification number. It is the country

code followed by the ship's unique numeric identifier. If less than six digits are

entered, the FPR-100 automatically enters zeros in the beginning of the value. For

example, if the unique identifier is 123456 and you enter 12345, the MMSI will be

saved as 012345. There will be a warning from the PC if this occurs before it is

automatically saved.

Note 2: When programming a maritime call sign, the ranges of allowable call sign

prefixes are shown on the call sign entry page. These values are updated periodically

as different ranges are added. If you enter a value that is not in the allowable range,

there will be a warning displayed. If you are sure that the call sign is valid for the

beacon you are programming just press the YES button when asked if you want to

continue.

Note 3: In some areas the only change necessary to the GyPSI 406 PLB is changing

the serial number. There are 2 ways to recover the existing serial number of the unit.

The first way is on the hexadecimal identification label. After the Unique Identifier

Number (UIN) there is a dash and then a serial number. This number is the present

serial number in the unit.

If the label is defaced in any way there is a second way to recover the serial number.

Perform a verify self-test message as described in section 5.3. The decode form that
