4 INSTALLATION
4.1 BRACKETS
Five different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40S MkII. MB5 and
MB4 are the manual brackets. FB6, FB5, FB4 and FBH4 are the automatic bra-
ckets. The manual brackets come without the hydrostatic release mechanism
and are used to store the beacon inside the wheelhouse or other protected
places. The automatic brackets are mounted in a free space outside where
the beacon can be released automatically. MB5, FB6 andFB5 are delivered with
protective cover.
4.1.1 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FB6, FB5 AND FB4
When the Tron 40S MkII is mounted in the float-free bracket, FB6, 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, chemi-
cals, 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.
