5 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Operation of the Tron 45S
When the Tron 45S is mounted in the Bulkhead mounting bracket (Bmb) it is a safety switch in
the battery compartment that will prevent activation. This safety switch can be released by one
action allowing the beacon to be manually activated in the bracket by a second action, activating
the main switch.
As the first action, the beacon can also be released from the Bmb.
If the beacon is mounted in the Bmb inside the MB45, the first action of activation must be to
remove the MB45 cover.
Mounted in the container, the Tron 45S has to be released from the container to be able to
manually operate.

See chapter 0
Remove the beacon from the bracket.
Remove lid on the container and pull the beacon out.
Drop the beacon into the water, or break the seal on the main switch and pull the locking pin. The
switch will automatically go to the Emergency (ON) position.
The red indicator lamp and the Xenon flash on top of the beacon will start operating, indicating
that the beacon is active.
NOTE!
The beacon performs a complete self-test before any emergency signals are transmitted. The
Transmitters will start after approx. 70 seconds.
The transmission can be stopped by removing the beacon from the water, or turning the switch
back to the READY position, and replace the locking pin.
Placing the Tron 45S/SX in the container or in its bracket will also turn the beacon off.
