6. Digital Display
The digital display in the beacon is used as a secondary visual aid, supporting
the green/red LED and the audio tone, which indicate the status of the beacon
during testing and during emergency operation.
The messages on the digital display typically appear as one or two words at a
time, until the entire message has been displayed.
When the beacon is
activated, the display will
show the message PLB ON.
The beacon will begin to
send 406 MHz emergency
signal bursts, at which time
the display provides other
messages
including 406
SENT, 121.5 ON and GPS
coordinates, provided the
data was acquired. If GPS
data
has not been
successfully downloaded
into the beacon, the digital
display will give you tips like
“GIVE CLEAR VIEW TO
SKY.”
