Reporting of false alarms

Should there be, for any reason, an inadvertent activation or false alarm, it must be reported to the nearest

search and rescue authorities. The information that should be reported includes the EPIRB Unique

Identifier Number (UIN), date, time, duration and cause of activation, as well as location of beacon at the

time of activation.

2.2.1

To report false alarms in the United States contact any of the following:

Atlantic Ocean / Gulf of Mexico

USCG Atlantic Area Command Center

Tel: (757) 398-6390

Pacific Ocean Area \ USCG Area Command Center

Tel: (510) 437-3700

From Any Location

SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION

3.1

Mounting Location (Product No 2774, 2775, 2776 and 2777)

3.1.1

The location selected must be sufficiently rigid to support the weight of the total installation and at the

same time consider vibration, exposure to the elements, exposure to surrounding hazards, such as

equipment movement, doors being opened, accidental covering, personnel traffic, etc., and yet be readily

accessible at all times for the emergency use for which the beacon is intended.

3.1.2

Also to be considered in selecting a location for installation is the harmful effect that certain corrosive

vapors might have on the beacon. Under no circumstances should a location be selected for installation

where the beacon would be jeopardized by any foreign articles being temporarily or permanently

positioned during "at sea" or "in port" activities.

3.1.3

Beacon should face inboard on rail mount applications and should not be subjected to breaking waves.

CAUTION: Care must be taken to prevent any lanyard, line, or other emergency equipment that may be

attached to the beacon from becoming entangled or fouled which could prevent the beacon from being

removed in an emergency.

3.1.4

Do not mount the beacon in the vicinity (3.3 ft) of strong magnetic (such as loud speakers) or electrical

(such as radar or high power radio transmitter) fields. The beacon should not be mounted closer than (3.3

ft) to a navigation compass.

3.1.5

Consideration should be given to mounting the beacon in a vertical (antenna upward position). In certain

circumstances, such as medical emergencies or disabled vessels, manual activation of the EPIRB for

location and homing purposes is sometimes requested. Mounting in this orientation provides the best

homing signal.

3.1.6

The Satellite

™ 406 and RapidFix™ 406 (Product No. 2774 & 2776) Cat. 1 float-free mounting bracket

should be mounted securely to a vertical or horizontal surface (the mount has predrilled holes for

attachment to a flat surface) where there are no overhead obstructions. Location aboard a vessel must be

chosen to allow the EPIRB to float free of sinking craft and as high as possible especially on small vessels.

This will help ensure operation of the hydrostatic release unit in the event the vessel capsizes without

sinking.

3.1.7

The Satellite

™ 406 and RapidFix™ 406 (Product No. 2774 & 2776) Cat. 1 float-free mounting bracket

should be securely attached to the vessel. The use of #10 stainless steel hardware is recommended. To

access third mounting hole it is necessary to remove the hydrostatic release and allow spring to deploy.

Hold spring with one hand and slide hydro up into keyway. Be careful to release spring slowly. Mount

bracket to wall and reassemble. See Figures 1, 2 and 3.
