1. GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The SafeSea range of products provides the user with the latest technology specifically
designed for compact size and ease of operation. The E101V is an Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) with an integrated VDR memory capsule. It is intended as
a float free memory capsule meeting the requirements of IMO Resolution MSC.333(90).
1.2 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy
This product complies with EN62479 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada).
1.3 Warnings
It is a legal requirement to register your EPIRB with your National Authority.
Only use your EPIRB in a situation of grave and imminent danger. Deliberately
misusing your EPIRB or setting it off accidentally may result in prosecution and a
fine.
Your EPIRB contains lithium batteries. Please see section 6.2 for information on
safe transportation.
The battery in your EPIRB should be replaced immediately if it has been activated,
or if the test indicator shows the battery as ‘used’, or if the expiry date marked on
the unit has been exceeded.
The E101V is supplied with an automatic release housing (ARH101V) with
connection to the VDR. See the installation guidelines in section 2 for further
information.
Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow the guidance in this
manual may result in loss of warranty.
1.4 Operating Mode
Your E101V may be operated in a variety of modes.
1.4.1 Floating in water (a)
This is the preferred method of operation. Ensure the EPIRB is firmly tied to the life raft or
person before deployment.
1.4.2 On deck (b)
When deploying the EPIRB on a deck, ensure it is vertical and clear of obstructions that
might impede a clear view of the sky.
1.4.3 In a safety raft (c)
The EPIRB may be deployed in a liferaft, where it should be held in a vertical position so
that there is a clear view of the sky, preferably outside of the canopy.
