1.1 TRON 40VDR
The Tron 40V DR is buoyant and have water
activation
contacts which will start
DISTRESS transmission if deployed into water. Tron 40VDR is delivered with a float
free bracket. The bracket prevents DISTRESS transmission if water spray are
applied to the EPIRB.
The Float free bracket, FB-40 is a covered bracket with an hydrostatic release unit
(HRU) which will release the Tron 40VDR if the bracket is submerged to a depth of
2-4 meters if the ship are about to sink.
The purpose of the Tron 40VDR is to give a primary alarm to the search and rescue
authorities. The EPIRB gives an immediate alarm when activated, transmitting the ID
of the ship in distress. Care must be taken not to activate the EPIRB unless in an
emergency situation, in such cases the user will be held responsible. For periodic
testing a test function is implemented. During the test cycle the EPIRB does a self-
test on the transmitters and on the battery status. No emergency signal is transmitted
during the self-test.
The battery of the EPIRB will last for at least 168 hours from activation of the EPIRB.
