Updating GPS Position data
When the beacon is properly connected to a functioning and compatible GPS receiver, GPS position data
is automatically updated about every 20 minutes, while valid GPS position data is present. The operator
can force the acquisition of new GPS position data, by executing Self-Test of the beacon. This bypasses
the normal, programmed, waiting time of 20 minutes for the automatic update of GPS position data. Once
the RapidFix ™ 406 has completed the Self-Test sequence by emitting the beep and flash of red and green
LEDs, as described in 3.7.3, the RapidFix ™ 406 will request and acquire new position data from the GPS.
This can take a nominal 15 seconds or up to one minute.
NOTE: When the beacon is not activated, GPS position data will be received and stored by the RapidFix ™
406 (No GPS position data updates will occur while the beacon is activated).
4.7.5
Position data set to default
A new RapidFix ™ 406 is programmed with the GPS position data set to "default". This "default" GPS
position data indicates, upon activation, to the satellite system that the beacon has no valid GPS position
stored in memory. Once a functioning and compatible GPS receiver is properly connected to the beacon,
this "default" data will be replaced by valid G PS position data, as described in the previous sections.
Position data will be reset to default by activating the beacon (turning the beacon ON) and then turning the
beacon OFF.
NOTE: The RapidFix ™ 406 should never be turned "ON" except in situations of imminent danger.
ALSO NOTE: The action of turning the beacon ON and then OFF clears any stored GPS position
SECTION 5 - CARE AND MAINTENANCE
5.1
Routine Maintenance
At least every ninety days, the float free mounting bracket and Satellite
should be inspected for deterioration and/or buildup that may affect the function of the beacon or automatic
release.
Also carefully inspect the EPIRB case for any visible cracks. Cracks may admit moisture, which could
falsely activate the beacon or otherwise cause a malfunction.
immediately referred to ACR for evaluation, (1-800-432-0227 Ext. 112)
Clean the beacon and the mounting bracket to remove residue buildups. It is recommended that the
mounting bracket be wiped with a damp cloth.
5.2
Hydrostatic Release
The hydrostatic release unit (HRU) must be replaced by the date indicated on the float free mounting
bracket. The hydrostatic release can be replaced by removing the beacon from the bracket, then sliding
the hydrostatic release assembly out of the keyed opening on the spring and mounting bracket. Insert the
new hydrostatic release assembly, in place by engaging it to the opening of the ejection spring and case.
When servicing the HRU, ACR requires that you replace the entire hydrostatic assembly, including
hydrostatic release, release rod and all hardware (P/N 9490). Failure to replace the entire assembly can
cause the bracket to malfunction. Always use original ACR replacement parts. Use of unauthorized
replacement parts will void your warranty and may cause the bracket to malfunction. Place beacon into the
mounting bracket, and replace cover, securing in place with hitch pin going through the hydrostatic release
rod.
5.2.1
Check antenna for tightness.
5.3
Battery Replacement
The battery (P/N 1096) must be replaced by the date indicated on the beacon. At each inspection, check
the time remaining until replacement is required. Battery should be replaced if the beacon has been
activated for any use other than the self test.
