3. Activating your beacon
Overview
Class 3 beacons can always be manually activated in or out of their bracket.
The beacon and bracket are designed to allow the user to perform periodic
testing while the beacon is in its bracket.
Class 3 beacons-Manual deployment and activation
Class 3 beacons can be manually deployed by removing the beacon from the
bracket.
Once removed, the beacon can be activated by lifting the Activation Switch to
a vertical position, sliding it toward the antenna and pushing down to the
opposite side of the beacon. Activating the beacon in this manner breaks off
the Activation Witness Tab and allows the switch to properly seat, showing
the “ ▌ “ symbol (ON).
A Class 3 beacon MANUALLY activates with the following sequence:
1.) Remove the beacon from its bracket
2.) Activation method:
// Lift the switch to a vertical position
// Slide the switch toward the antenna
// Push the switch down to the opposite side of the beacon (see
illustration below)
Class 3 Beacons - Manual Activation Without Deployment
The beacon can be manually activated while still in its bracket by placing the
Activation Switch in the ON position.
