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.”
