MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 

EPIRB MODULE / BATTERY MODULE

The  EPIRB  shall  be  tested  and  approved  as  required  by  SOLAS  regulation 

IV/15.9.2 of SOLAS 1974 as amended with, in accordance with MSC/Circ.1039 

guidelines for shore-based maintenance of Satellite EPIRBs within 5 years if: 

Passenger ships (>12 passengers) and cargo ships (>300GT) engaged in inter-

national voyages, shall perform Shore-Based Maintenance (SMB) as follows:

- Latest by the date of the EPIRB label with this text, or the battery label,    

 

   which ever is first.

- When this EPIRB becomes due for SBM in accordance with national require      

   ments.

6.1.1 

CHANGE OF BATTERY

If the Tron 40S MkII is the main EPIRB on board the ship, the rules of SBM apply, 

and the battery must be changed at an SBM authorized workshop.

If the Tron 40S MkII is the second EPIRB on board the ship, authorized person-

nel can change the battery on board.

6.1.2 

REPLACING THE BATTERY MODULE 

See figure 7.7

To change the battery, the lower Tron 40S MkII assembly is replaced with a new 

one. The battery module consists of the complete lower half of the Tron 40S 

MkII and is to be replaced every 5 years. The marking on the battery module 

shows the expiry date.  A new battery comes complete and is easily replaced by 

opening the equator ring between the top and bottom of the EPIRB. The bat-

tery must be replaced if the EPIRB is activated for any purpose other than test.

Replacing the battery module should be done by a Jotron AS authorised SBM 

provider. Your closest Jotron AS agent with TronSTAT facilities has been specially 

trained to perform the necessary operation and is also able to do an extended 

test of the EPIRB, ensuring that the EPIRB operates within the specifications.

1. Remove the EPIRB from its bracket .

2. Remove the equator ring by pressing it out from the housing.

3. Separate the two halves of the EPIRB housing.

4. Unplug the 6-pin connector that comes from the lower EPIRB housing.

5. Ensure that the new battery module is marked with p/n 83056 and has a
