3.2 FB-42 or FBH-42 Bracket
The float-free bracket (FB-42 or FBH-42) is a covered bracket with a
hydrostatic release unit (HRU) which will release the EPIRB if the bracket is
submerged to a water depth of above 2-4 meters.
3.3 RLS capability
This Beacon has the capability to use the RLS (Return Link Service) delivered
on the Galileo navigation satellite system. To have RLS activated the Beacon
also needs to be configured with a Cospas-Sarsat RLS protocol. You can
check your 15 HEX code on this webpage http://www.cospas-
sarsat.int/en/pro and look for the link “Beacon Message Decode Program”
to check if you have an RLS protocol programed in your Beacon.
RLS is a service delivered, free of charge from the Galileo satellite system,
to inform the people in distress that the signal is picked up by the ground
station and forwarded into the SAR system.
