4.2 Mounting the FBR-3
Bolt the unit to the vessel using the mounting holes.
The Float Free Bracket FBR-3 must be connected to the fixed
installation S-VDR installation
through the junction box according to the connection diagram in
paragraph 3.1.7.
When the Capsule is mounted in the FBR-3 release mechanism, it
operates as a float free automatic unit.
Therefore it is important that the bracket is mounted in a place
where there are no obstructions that can endanger the automatic
release of the beacon.
The location where the bracket is mounted should be as high as
possible on the vessel, 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.
4.3 Mounting of the Capsule into the FBR-3
Strain the spring loaded lower arm with the connector at the lower
part of the bracket.
Place the higher part of the Capsule into the top grip of the bracket
with the main switch facing out. Then push the Capsule into the
bracket and slowly release the lower arm, checking that the
connector pins at the bracket hits the connector holes at the
Capsule. Place the locking bolt into the corresponding holes in the
lower arm, and mount the clamp at the bolt.
