4. Category II bracket
Category II brackets are designed to hold the beacon securely in place. The
beacon must be manually deployed. The bracket can be mounted on a
vertical flat surface with beacon antenna up or on a horizontal flat surface
facing skyward. This location must be easily accessible in order to manually
deploy the beacon or to perform the required maintenance and functionality
tests. Typical locations include near the helm station or just inside the
companionway door.
The QuickDraw™ Category II bracket has three pre-drilled screw holes to
use for securing the bracket to a flat surface. Remove the beacon from the
bracket. To do this while holding the assembly, press the “PUSH” lever to
release the beacon from the bracket. Pull the beacon forward and down to
remove. The bracket can be held in place to mark the holes. The use of #8
pan head stainless steel fasteners and washers (not included) is
recommended. Be sure to confirm that fasteners will not contact any wires
or plumbing before drilling pilot holes.
To reinstall the beacon inside the bracket, place
the antenna behind the top notch in the bracket.
The yellow lanyard roll faces the bracket and rests
in the concave part of the bracket. Snap the
beacon into place by pushing firmly at the bottom
of the beacon (on the ACR logo) until the snaps
engage the bottom of the beacon.
