Operational/Maintenance Modes
The transmitter unit may operate in any one of four modes: OFF, ARMED, SELF TEST and
TRANSMIT. The ARMED and TRANSMIT modes are the operational modes while the OFF and SELF
TEST modes are the maintenance modes.
A. Operational Modes
(1)
ARMED Mode
In this mode some of the transmitter unit circuits are powered up so that it can detect an
activation signal from the G-Switch (automatic activation), the remote panel, or the
transmitter unit panel (activation switch and LED). Upon receiving an activation signal in
the ARMED mode, the transmitter unit will switch to the TRANSMIT mode and begin to
transmit 121.5/243 and 406 MHz signals.

The first 406 MHz pulse will be transmitted approximately 50 seconds after
activation and then subsequently at 50-second intervals. Each pulse will have the
selected protocol format.
A momentary 5-second state. After completing the self-test, the unit will
automatically return to the ARMED mode.
A 121.5 and 243 MHz pulse will be transmitted to the antenna for approximately
0.5 second.
A single 406 MHz pulse coded as a self-test signal will be transmitted
approximately 3 seconds after activation.
