4-2 Maintenance
For details of maintenance, refer to the Installation Manual. This chapter describes the simple procedure for
routine maintenance which you should follow on board the ship every day to maintain the system in a good
condition.
If any abnormality is found, or it is necessary to replace the battery or hydraulic pressure sensor, contact the
purchasing dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC branches .
Check item Action
(1) Is the selector switch
set to READY?
(2) Is not the stopper pin
broken?
(3) Is the unit in the floatable
state?
(4) Are the catch clip and lock
pin of the automatic
release bracket fastened?
(5) Is the automatic release
bracket firmly installed?
(6) Isn’t there any deformation
or damage on the main
unit and automatic release
bracket?
(7) Aren’t the accessories such
as the lanyard, antenna,
usage labels etc. damaged
or missing?
(8) Did not the battery expire?
(9) Did not the hydraulic
pressure sensor effective
period expire?
(10) Is not the Satellite EPIRB
installed in
the place where the
vibration is extreme?
(1) Confirm whether the selector switch is fixed to the READY
position with the stopper.
(2) Replace the stopper pin and battery. Ask us or our dealer for
the replacement. (Broken stopper pin shows that the Satellite
EPIRB had been manually activated and the battery is
exhausted.)
(3) Do not put something on the Satellite EPIRB, and do not bind
the Satellite EPIRB.
Too much icing must be eliminated so that the antenna, selector
switch, indicator lamp, and hydraulic pressure sensor are not
damaged.
(4) Tightly fasten if they are loosened.
(5) Fasten the screws which are fixing the automatic release bracket
to the ship body if they are loosened.
(6) Contact the purchased dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC
branches if there is any deformation or damage on those.
(7) Contact the purchased dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC
branches if they are damaged or missing.
(8) Pay attention to the battery effective period indicated on the
label. Contact the purchased dealer, JRC agent or one of the
JRC branches if it expired.
(9) Pay attention to the hydraulic pressure sensor effective period.
Contact the purchased dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC
branches when its expiry date approaches.
(10) Excessive vibration will damage the Satellite EPIRB and
automatic release bracket.
Contact the purchased dealer, JRC agent or one of the JRC
branches to change the installation place if the Satellite EPIRB is
installed in the place where the vibration is extreme.
The metallic part of the automatic release bracket is made of stainless steel.
Its surface may rust by adhesion of iron powders, but extent of the corrosion will be little to do not affect the
mechanical intensity under the ordinary use.
