1.1

GENERAL

1.1.1

This manual provides installation, operation and maintenance in-

structions for the GlobalFix™ 406 Emergency Position Indicating

Radio Beacon, hereinafter referred to as the Beacon. This section

describes the characteristics and details of the Beacon System. The

FCC authorizes the use of 406 MHz Radio Beacons by any ship that

is also equipped with a VHF Ship Station. This will make the 406

MHz Radio Beacon available for use on most U.S. ships and boats.

EPIRB carriage requirements are contained in USCG regulations.

1.2

PURPOSE

1.2.1

The GlobalFix™ 406 Beacon provides distress alerting via radio

transmission on 406 MHz to satellites of the COSPAS-SARSAT

network and to the GEOSAR network that includes GPS latitude and

longitude coordinates.

1.2.2

The message transmitted by the GlobalFix™ 406 is unique for each

EPIRB, which provides identification of the transmitter through

computer access of registration files maintained by the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or other national authority.

It is the user's responsibility to fill out and mail the enclosed

registration form to the appropriate agency of the country under

which the vessel is registered. US flagged vessels send the en-

closed NOAA/NESDIS form to NOAA in the stamped envelope

provided. For vessels registered in other countries, the GlobalFix™

406 must be reprogrammed by an ACR authorized programming

facility for the registered country. Remember, if your EPIRB is not

registered, SAR Authorities do not know who you are, what type of

vessel, your homeport, or where to contact anyone who might know

anything about your situation.

1.2.3

Once the GlobalFix™ 406 signal (406 MHz) is relayed through the

COSPAS-SARSAT and/or GEOSAR network alert, Search and Res-

cue (SAR) forces, they can converge on the GPS navigation position.

When the GlobalFix™ 406 is used, SAR authorities can know your

precise location immediately and speed up reaction time. The Glob-

alFix™ 406 on board radio beacon transmitter (121.5 MHz) and

high intensity xenon strobe light aid intermediate and short-range

location.

1.2.4

Product number 2742 GlobalFix™ 406 may be deployed and acti-

vated automatically by the built-in hydrostatic float free release.
