Rewinding the antenna
Once activated, the PLB has the antenna extended. The tamper cover, with seal and
retaining pin, is usually absent – in any case, a tamper cover should NOT be re-used.
Inspect the antenna for damage, such as cracks, creases or delamination of the coating.
Ensure that the antenna is fit for re-use.
If present, remove the screw which previously retained the tamper cover.
1. Fit the seal to the recess in
the tamper cover, then insert
the retaining pin into the hole
in the centre of the seal area.
2. The ball at the tip of the antenna has an off-centre
triangular hole which fits the shaft of the winding
key.
3. Insert the winding key through the hole in the
antenna housing and engage it in the hole in the
ball.
4. Rotate the key approximately 3 turns anti-clockwise to wind
the antenna into the housing. The antenna has a number of
holes along its length; when the antenna is correctly wound
these holes will line up.
Do NOT over-rotate, as the antenna may crease.
