Float-free enclosure (category1)
The float-free version EPIRB has a plastic enclosure. It contains a spring-loaded lever
which automatically pushes the enclosure lid off and releases the EPIRB if the vessel
sinks. Automatic ejection is controlled by a Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) before it
reaches 4 metres (13 feet) depth.
As the EPIRB floats away it automatically activates.
i
Never tie the EPIRB lanyard to the vessel because doing so would prevent the
EPIRB from floating free.
Manually releasing EPIRB from the enclosure
Remove the R-clip from the retaining rod, then pull off the enclosure cover and remove
the EPIRB.
