INSTALLATION

4.1

BRACKETS

Five different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40S MkII. MB5 and MB4 are the manual

brackets. FB5, FB4 and FBH4 are the automatic brackets. The manual brackets come without the

hydrostatic release mechanism and are used to store the beacon inside the wheelhouse or other

protected places. The automatic brackets are mounted in a free space outside where the beacon can be

released automatically. MB5 and FB5 are delivered with protective cover.

4.1.1

FLOAT FREE BRACKET FB5 AND FB4

WARNING:

DO NOT INSTALL THE EPIRB NEAR STRONG

MAGNETIC FIELDS THAT COULD ACTIVATE THE BEACON.

When the Tron 40S MkII is mounted in the float-free bracket, FB5 or FB4, it will operate as an

automatic float free unit. Since the release of the EPIRB will be automatic it is important to mount the

bracket in a place where there are no obstacles that can endanger the automatic release of the EPIRB.

The location where the bracket is mounted should be as high as possible on the vessel, and well

protected from environmental conditions such as direct sea-spray, chemicals, oil, exhaust and vibrations.

The location must also be easily accessible for testing and maintenance.

4.1.2

FLOAT FREE BRACKET FBH4

See figure 7.8 for installation.

The float free bracket FBH4 must be connected to the fixed installation (230V AC, 10A) through the

thermostat connection box according to the connection diagram below.
