The Tron 45SX and Tron 45S is emergency equipment consisting of:
• COSPAS/SARSAT emergency EPIRB for manually operation.
The purpose of the Tron 45S and Tron 45SX is to give a primary alarm to the search and rescue authorities. The

transmitters and on the battery status. No emergency signal is transmitted during the self-test.
