Clean the pars with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Clean water switch pins allow the moisture to collect into droplets and so run off the switch. Tough the beacon is equipped with a protection against Unintentional activation, both of the pins are to be kept clean and deflements are to be removed. ‘Aftor its installation into the Boacon retainer bracket of the VDR or §-VDR Data Capsule, the PTO Underwater Locating Device is to be tested, and, at least once a year, to be cleaned and ‘tested by a service technician. Porformance Testing and Replacement of the batter sto be done by a qualified technician only! For operational testing of the beacon, there is required @ commercial multimeter. Fer a complete Service oF an annual performance test (APT), read the PT9 Intiation and maintenance manual to its fll fextend. You can download the iain and ‘maintenance manval from: www.novega-sea.com, Important: ‘The PT9 C-Proof comes with a patent pending, Inteltigent activation, which’ avoids an unintentional activation, e.g. by rain, spray, ico ‘oF snow, whereby the ‘durability of the battery ‘could be impaired. On this account, observe the following proceeding to set the PT9 into the service operation mode. novega LIHIT LA ee a Starting the service operation mode (Activation): Use a wire jumper and connect both of the water switch pins for approx. 3 seconds right and left hand of the Beacon, this puts the PT9 C-Proot into the Service operation mode. Figure 2: Start the sorvice operation mode Battory voltage measurement: The PT9 C-Proof now stands in the senice ‘operation mode during 60 seconds, at this the battery voltage is circulated to the water switch pins ‘and can be measured with a mulimeter. After ‘expiration of 60 seconds, the PT9 C-Proof drops. back into the sleep mode.
