4.1.1 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FB5 AND FB4
WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL THE EPIRB NEAR STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS THAT COULD ACTIVATE THE BEACON.
When the Tron 40GPS MkII is mounted in the float-free bracket, FB5 or FB4, it will operate as an
automatic float free unit. Since the release of the EPIRB will be automatic it is important to mount the
bracket in a place where there are no obstacles that can endanger the automatic release of the EPIRB.
The location where the bracket is mounted should be as high as possible on the vessel, and well
protected from environmental conditions such as direct sea-spray, chemicals, oil, exhaust and vibrations.
The location must also be easily accessible for testing and maintenance.
4.1.2 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FBH4
See figure 7.8 for installation.
The float free bracket FBH4 must be connected to the fixed installation (230V AC, 10A) through the
thermostat connection box according to the connection diagram below.

4.1.3 MANUAL BRACKET MB5 AND MB4
When the Tron 40GPS MkII is mounted in the MB5 or MB4 bracket, it will operate as a manual unit.
This bracket is the same as the FB5 and FB4 bracket but does not have the hydrostatic release
mechanism. This bracket is typically used to store the EPIRB inside the wheelhouse or other protected
areas of the ship. When the Tron 40GPS MkII is mounted in the MB5 or MB4 bracket, it must be
manually removed before any operation can take place, therefore the bracket should be mounted in an
easily accessible place where it can be removed in a hurry in case of an emergency.
