3.3 Automatic activation
3.3.1 Float-free
If the ship is sinking, the EPIRB will be automatically released from the
bracket when it has reached a depth of 2-4 meters (6-13 feet) and start
transmitting when it has reached the surface.
The transmission will continue until the EPIRB is lifted out of the water and
dried off.
3.3.2 Water activation
The EPIRB is designed to automatically activate when deployed into water.
An internal safety function will prevent inadvertent activation caused by
moisture, sea spray etc. when located in the bracket.
