INSTALLING THE BEACON

Step 1: Determine a suitable mounting location
Locate the beacon in a readily accessible location that is protected from outside influences. The location selected must be
sufficiently rigid to support the weight of the total installation.
Hazards to avoid when selecting a mounting location:
- Vibration
- Exposure to the elements, especially sun
- Possibility of impact from hatches, gear or personnel
- Harmful vapors
- Exhaust
- Harsh chemicals (i.e. paint removers)
- Locations that can be obscured by foreign articles on a temporary or permanent basis.
CAUTION: Category I brackets must be mounted free from obstruction, to allow the beacon to automatically float
free from the vessel. The Category I bracket can be mounted on a vertical surface with the beacon antenna pointing
skyward or on a horizontal surface with the beacon facing up. Avoid mounting locations that subject the bracket to
breaking waves. Avoid structures such as dodgers or cabin tops that could trap the beacon upon deployment.
CAUTION: Category II brackets must be mounted in a protected location that is easily accessible. The CAT II
bracket can be mounted on a vertical surface with the beacon antenna pointing skyward or on a horizontal surface with
the beacon facing up. Avoid mounting locations that subject the bracket to breaking waves and locations that do not
provide protection from harmful UV rays.
