4-1 Implementation
The selector switch must be set to the “READY” position while sailing.
The selector switch must be set to the “READY” position while sailing.
Fig.4-1 Confirmation of Selector switch position
If the ship sank as the selector switch is set to the READY position, the automatic release bracket releases the
Satellite EPIRB main unit within water depth 4 m. The released Satellite EPIRB floats and senses the fact
that it is floating on the water surface. The power is turned on automatically on the water, and the Satellite
EPIRB starts to send distress signals 50 seconds later.
Once the hydraulic pressure sensor operates, it cannot be reused.
Be careful for Satellite EPIRB so as not to be stolen or not to be activated by mischief when the
ship is in port.
NOTE
The lanyard is used to tow the Satellite EPIRB by connecting with a float or survival boat.
Please refer to page ix “OPERATION AT EMERGENCY” for the operation of the Satellite EPIRB at
distress.
