MOUNTING LOCATION
(PRODUCT NO'S 2754, 2756,
2772 & 2773))
2.1.1
The
Satellite 406
TM
float-off mounting bracket should be mounted
securely to a
vertical or horizontal surface
(the mount has
predrilled holes for attachment to a flat surface) where there are
no overhead obstructions. Location aboard a vessel must be
chosen to allow the EPIRB to float free of sinking craft and as high
as possible especially on small vessels. This will help ensure
operation of the hydrostatic release unit in the event the vessel
capsizes without sinking.
2.1.2
The location selected must be sufficiently rigid to support the weight
of the total installation and at the same time consider vibration,
exposure to the elements, exposure to surrounding hazards such as
equipment movement, doors being opened, accidental covering,
personnel traffic, etc., and yet be readily accessible at all times for
the emergency use for which the beacon is intended.
2.1.3
Also to be considered in selecting a location for installation is the
harmful effect that certain corrosive vapors might have on the
beacon. Under no circumstances should a location be selected for
installation where the beacon would be jeopardized by any foreign
articles being temporarily or permanently emplaced during at
sea or in port activities.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to prevent any lanyard, line, or
other emergency equipment that may be attached to the beacon
from becoming entangled or fouled which could prevent the
beacon from being removed in an emergency.
2.1.4
The
Satellite 406
TM
float-off mounting bracket should be securely
attached to the vessel. The use of #10 stainless steel hardware is
