Test Call
A requirement of PD6662:2004 for communicators at level ATS2 states that there is a maximum
interval between checking of the communication link. At grade 2 this is 25 hours.
The test-call feature can be used to achieve this either by arranging a fixed time per-day call or
a call made a number of hours after the last successful communication. The method chosen
should be arranged in conjunction with the ARC.
Dynamic Test Call
The internal comms can be programmed to make a test call to the ARC at a programmable
amount of time after
the last signal (of any type) was sent to the ARC.
Example of programming:-
1. Program “Test Call Strt” (Test Call Start, in Engineers menu 1-5-2-23) as 000 (Default)
