INSTALLATION
!
Failure to follow the following installation guidelines may cause the EPIRB3 to
operate incorrectly.
!
Do not mount the EPIRB3 closer than 1.0 metre to any steering compass as this
may affect the accuracy of the compass.
!
Keep the EPIRB3 away from any strong magnetic sources such as loudspeakers,
compass compensation magnets, etc.
!
Do not install or operate in a location subject to high intensity RF fields (e.g.radar
or communications antennas)
!
GNSS operation may be impaired if operated within 10m of GMDSS sat-com
systems.
!
Always install the manual mounting bracket inside the vessel to prevent the
EPIRB being dislodged and activated in heavy seas.
4.1 Location
The location selected must be sufficiently robust to support the weight of the entire unit.
Exposure to the elements and surrounding hazards along with vibration should also be
taken into consideration when choosing the location. Ensure that the mounting location
allows easy access to the EPIRB3 for emergency use, maintenance and servicing.
4.2 Mounting Dimensions
Shown below is a minimum spacing suggested to allow easy hand access to release the
EPIRB3 from the bracket.
