1. Introduction to the 1082 Smart Switch
The AAE 1082 Smart Switch is a pocket size solution to configuration, testing and charging of AAE
1000 / 1100 Series beacon ranges.
Main features are: -
AAE 1000 / 1100 Series beacon configuration, including channel and depth telemetry
transmission selection.
AAE 1000 / 1100 Series beacon fast charge activation and monitoring.
Compatible AAE beacon trickle charging.
Compatible AAE beacon responder mode testing.
Internal rechargeable battery.
Firmware field upgradeable.
The 1082 Smart Switch has limited compatibility with other AAE beacon ranges. Refer Section 3
Smart Switch Operation for details.
On delivery, check the following is included: -
1082 Smart Switch.
30VDC power supply unit (100-250VAC mains input).
Mains lead (IEC).
Beacon Connection Cable (9-way ‘D’ plug to MCIL5F 5-way socket).
RS232 serial cable (9-way ‘D’ plug to 9-way ‘D’ socket).
Please check contents for transit damage. If any is found, do not use the equipment and return it to
your supplier.

2. Getting Started
2.1 User Interface
The Smart Switch user interface comprises a 2-way backlit L.C.D. and four stylised selection keys
on the face of the unit. The Smart Switch does not include a power switch the unit is ‘always on’.
After two minutes of no user activity, i.e. no key presses, the Smart Switch will revert to very low
power standby with a blank display. In standby, pressing any selection key will ‘wake’ the Smart
Switch to its state prior to standby. The L.C.D. backlight is enabled for a brief period when any
selection key is pressed. The backlight can be disabled if required. Refer Section 3.9 Smart Switch
Configuration for details.
Fig. 1
The L.C.D. top line displays information or instructions for the user together with icons indicating
Smart Switch operating status: -
The L.C.D. bottom line displays the current menu item for selection or selected menu item
instructions. Icons representing the four selection buttons are displayed to the left and to the right
of the menu item. Icons to the left represent navigation options. Icons to the right represent
selection options (if available).

2.2 Connector Panel
A connector panel includes a DC input socket for the included 30VDC power supply unit, a 9-way
‘D’ socket for RS232 serial communication and beacon charging, and a reset button concealed
against accidental operation. Refer Section 10 Appendix for details.
Fig. 2
2.3 Internal Battery
The Smart Switch is powered from an internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack. With the Smart
Switch ‘awake’ and operational, the L.C.D. displays a battery icon at all times, representing the
current internal battery charge.
Fig. 3
Operational life is typically 2 days with constant use and with the backlight enabled. Standby life is
typically 5 months.
The Smart Switch internal battery is trickle charged at 40mA when the included 30VDC power
supply unit is inserted. When inserted, the Smart Switch is powered directly from the power supply
unit.
When the internal battery is near exhausted, the Smart Switch will constantly display a low battery
warning, as Fig. 4.
Fig. 4
The Smart Switch will be non-operable until the internal battery has been partially charged. Insert
the included 30VDC power supply unit. After a period of trickle charging, the Smart Switch will
reset and become operable.

3. Smart Switch Operation
3.1 Connecting to a Beacon
Your Smart Switch arrives supplied with a Beacon Connection Cable for connection to compatible
AAE beacons. Connect the cable between the Smart Switch connector panel 9-way ‘D’ socket and
compatible AAE beacon 5-way MCBH5M bulkhead plug.
When trickle charging or fast charging a connected beacon, it is recommended the Beacon
Connection Cable be locked securely to the beacon and to the Smart Switch. Refer Section 3.7
Trickle Charge and Section 3.8 Fast Charge.
3.2 Serial Communication
The Smart Switch and a connected 1000 / 1100 Series beacon support RS232 serial
communication at 9600 baud only. Refer Section 8 Specification for serial communication
specification.
NOTE: - Serial communication is only possible when a connected beacon is switched ON
NOTE: - Serial communication is not possible when a connected beacon is fast charging. Serial
communication is possible when a connected beacon is trickle charging.
The Smart Switch and a connected beacon communicate in an AAE defined command format,
including error checking of serial messages.
The Smart Switch will display a “Selected!” or “Refreshed!” message if a serial message from a
connected beacon indicates it processed a user selection correctly.
The Smart Switch will display a “Failed!” message if a serial message from a connected beacon
indicates it did not successfully process a user selection.
The Smart Switch will display a “Comms error!” message if a serial message from a connected
beacon fails error checking.
