What is the standard AH necessity per FA-232. I know it supposed to be able to sound off for (theoreticly) 10 days on 2ndry.
I got the Montauk Lighthouse and it has a FA-232(4), that isn't an error either Thanks for the salty assistance! |

ATON Tech Man will tell you all you need to know. Plug that info into a Solar Cal.
It sounds like you might have one of those unusual aids! Contact Jon Grasson at CG-432. He is in the global. He is the CG lead R&D ATON Tech at HQ. On Monday, I'll take a look at your aid in IATONIS and do some math for ya. BMC sends |

Man.....I forgot about him. I figured out the math, by what is given to us.
CG standard of time: 10 days Battery Amp hours : Can't think of it right now) Emergency Horn : 1 Using division; for every horn you add divide add one to your division. 10/1 equals CG standard AmpHours. 10/2 equals .5 of standard AmpHours and five days 10/3 equals .25 os stand. AH and 2.5 days. and so forth..... |
