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 Appendix A.
The last green LED followed by a strobe 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.
Battery replacement
Battery replacement is due 5 years from date after the beacon placed into service,
or by expiry date on the beacon whichever is first. During each inspection, check
the time remaining until battery replacement is required. The battery must also be
replaced if the beacon has been activated for any use other than the Self-Test.
Annual testing
for SOLAS vessels, IMO MSC/Circ. 1040
SOLAS regulation IV/15.9 dictates annual testing of 406 MHz satellite EPIRBs.
Testing should be carried out using suitable test equipment capable of performing
the relevant measurements. All checks of electrical parameters should be
performed in the self-test mode, if possible. These tests can be performed by
