Gmdss Test by Asus

This document provides instructions for performing various tests on marine radio equipment on a daily, weekly, monthly, and ongoing basis as required by regulations. Daily tests check the VHF radio operation and include a test of transmitter power, receivers, and other components. Weekly tests involve sending a test call message to another station. Monthly tests include a more comprehensive Performance Verification test conducted by the radio's network coordinator to test reception, transmission, and distress signaling. Regular ongoing maintenance like cleaning and inspections is also emphasized.

Monthly test ……
Performance Verification (PV) Test
After the FELCOM is installed, the installer usually confirms that it is functioning properly,
by logging in and conducting the PV test. This test consists of receiving a test
message from an LES, transmitting a message to the LES and a distress alert test.
The results of the test appear on the PV test result display.
The PV test cannot be conducted from an auxiliary terminal unit. Note that the test can
also be initiated by an NCS.

PV test sequence

1. Select [PV Test] from the [Test] menu.


2. The MES requests an NCS to conduct the PV test.
3. The NCS acknowledges request for testing.
4. The MES, upon receiving acknowledgment from NCS, goes into pending state.
5. The NCS selects an LES to perform the test.
6. The LES transmits a test message to the MES.
7. The LES receives the test message.
8. The MES automatically transmits the distress alert test within two minutes after
completion of step 7.
9. When the distress alert test is finished, the LES sends the results of the PV test
to the MES.

PV test procedure

1. Confirm that the terminal unit is in idle condition and is logged in.
2. Press the F7, 8, and 1 keys to enable the PV test.
3. The [Start] window appears and [Yes] is selected; press the Enter key to start the
test. The [PV Test] screen appears and shows the message "Starting PV Test
Process. Press any key to escape."
Note: If the terminal unit is not idle when the test is initiated, the screen displays
"Ignored: MES is not idle now." If you are not logged in, "Ignored: MES is not Login.
Please operate Login." appears.
4. Long-press the Esc key to return to the standby display.
5. The (automatic) testing sequence is as follows:
1) The screen displays "Current State: Idle (pending!)" when you receive the acknowledge
signal from the NCS.
2) When preparations for testing have been completed, "Current State: TESTING"
appears at the bottom of the screen. Further, the message "Automatic
test mode: Normal communication disabled. Do not press any distress button
unless you are in distress." appears.
3) Receive a message from the LES. Send a test message to the LES.
4) Then, the distress alert test is automatically conducted after you have sent a
test message. Do not operate the equipment at this time.
5) When testing has been completed, "Current State: IDLE" appears at the bottom
of the screen.

Test the DISTRESS Button


Self-test at power on

The terminal unit performs the ROM sum test and RAM read and write test at power
up. If the test results are normal the equipment goes into standby. If error is found you
cannot transmit.
Attention ………
Other than above daily, weekly and monthly tests, has to carry out the regular maintenance
of all equipment such as clean the dust, clean the LCD screen, check the cable connection,
general visual inspection for any physical damages, any alarms, functioning of the
equipment…etc…

Thank you, Bon voyage…..
