- Make sure the total cable length of original installation + new installation does not exceed
100 meters.
- If the mounting of the TRON 40VDR requires a long outdoor cable, it is recommended to
put the cable in a separate steel pipe, which is welded to the ship hull. This will protect the
wire against RF signals interfering with the VDR signals.
- Before final relocation it is advised to do a test with a flying cable to ensure proper
functioning of the TRON 40VDR.
- It is critical to choose a position where the released EPIRB will not get trapped by
overhangs, rigging, antennas and so forth, in case the vessel will sink.
- The EPIRB is supplied with an instruction plate that should be mounted next to the EPIRB
so that is easily visible in an emergency.
- The EPIRB must be installed in the vicinity of the navigation bridge, i.e. on the wings of the
navigation bridge. Access via vertical ladder should not be accepted.
- Since the mounting location is critical for the performance of the TRON 4VDR, please find
below screenshots out from the TRON 40VDR Installation manual (revision J).
