Inspection
The lifetime of any equipment depends on how well you take care of it.
Inspect both the Tron 60S/GPS and the bracket for defects.
To inspect, do the following:
1.
Ensure the bracket cover is not blocked (this hinders the release
functionality of the EPIRB).
2.
Ensure the EPIRB and bracket are clean (no paint, oil and other
chemicals).
3.
Verify the lanyard is attached (on the EPIRB and not the vessel)
4.
Verify the expiry date of EPIRB battery.
5.
Verify the expiry date of HRU (month/year)
