MOUNTING

 

 

When mounting the SR500, consider the following when selecting a suitable mounting position:
•  Choose a position adjacent to the vessel’s bridge for easy access in an emergency
•  Choose a position at least one metre away from compass equipment
•  Choose a location away from the effects of extreme weather and other environmental factors
•  Choose a location that allows the device to be easily removed from the bracket

Mounting Procedure 

When mounting the SR500 use the wall mounting bracket supplied. It is designed to mount on a flat surface using two 
fixing points and the two marine grade stainless steel screws supplied. Fix the wall mounting bracket to the vessel’s wall 
using the screws. 

Check that the mounting surface is suitable. Position the mounting bracket in the chosen position and mark the positions 
of the mounting slots on the wall using the bracket as a template. Fix the bracket to the wall using the two screws.

Place the SR500 carry bag rear pockets over the bracket hooks and push the carry bag into place.

1.2 PLOMO-500 Overview

 

AMEC has launched newly AIS SART, PLOMO-500 which builds in the latest technology of 
GPS receiver, sophisticated power-saving circuits design, lighter weight and easier installation 
and operation.   

 

Besides, PLOMO-500 provides the most user-friendly interface and allows crews or passengers 
to shorten their operation time to transmit their location and SRM (Safety Related Message) to 
any other AIS receiver device. 
 
The key features of PLOMO-500 shows as follows: 
 

Handing: 

PLOMO-500 is designed for easy operation. It has a carry bag which contains all main body, 1 
meter extension pole and 10 meters buoyant lanyard. The carry bag can be mounted and 
hanged in the ship by wall-mount bracket. Users can easily understand the instruction printed 
on the main body and bag in a very short time.

Robust & Waterproof Design 

PLOMO-500 has been tested for more than 10 meters deep of water resistant and dropped in 
the water from 20 meters without damage. Besides, it can be buoyant on the water and resist to 
seawater, oil and sunlight.
