1. Programming

appears on the screen will show the existing serial number. This number can then be

used as the serial number for the PLB you are programming.

The above ways of recovering the existing serial number are only useful if there are no

rules for serialization for the country that the GyPSI 406 PLB will be used. Check with

your national authorities for any regulations governing the serial numbers that can be

encoded into the GyPSI 406 PLB and any other beacon.

7. If MMSI, Maritime Call sign, or Radio Call sign are chosen you will be prompted to

enter the EPIRB number after entering the protocol and its value. For example, if the

EPIRB being programmed is the only one, press ENTER. This will be coded as

beacon 1 of 1. However, if there are 3 beacons on the ship and you are programming

the second beacon, enter a 2 in the box provided. Click OK after entering the value.

8. The message will be generated and the program will return to the Option Selection

Menu. All of the information entered and used to make the message can be seen at

the top of the screen.

9. Make sure the interface unit is connected to the PC and properly powered up. Also,

make sure the programming head is connected to the interface unit.

10. On the Option Selection Menu there is a button on the bottom right corner for

changing the serial port the FPR-100 is connected to. The default is COM1 which is

normally a 9 pin connection. If you have connected the interface unit to a different

serial port, be sure to change it by clicking the button and entering the new value.

11. From the Option Selection Menu click the Program New Hex ID Into Unit button.

12. There will be a box that comes up with the message to be sent to the beacon and the

communications port it will use for programming. If all of this information is correct

click OK, else click CANCEL.

13. Once the PC has sent the information to the interface box the LED on the

programming head will turn on and stay green for approximately 15 seconds.

14. Make sure the programming head is properly attached to the Satellite 406. See Figure

5 for positioning the programming head. The side of the personality module with the

LED should be directly over the LEDs on the EPIRB.

15. If you are programming an RLB-35 GlobalFix, make sure the beacon programming

window is pointed in the direction of the front of the programming head and within 2

feet of the programming head. See Figure 5 for positioning the Programming Head.

16. Pull the test switch 1 time on the beacon.

17. There will be 2 short audible beeps from the EPIRB to indicate proper programming.

A message will also appear on the screen indicating the interface unit has sent the

data through the programming head to the beacon.

If there are any problems with the communications between the interface unit and the PC

there will be a message that appears on the screen giving information on the problem.
