3.1 Bulkhead bracket
If you purchased the manually activated EPIRB version, this is normally supplied with
a bulkhead mounting bracket (see section 8). The EPIRB is released by pulling out the
R-clip.
The bulkhead bracket should be sited in plain view near an emergency exit.
To help prevent accidental activation and therefore a reduction in false alerts, Kannad
Marine have developed a two part BULKHEAD bracket. The removable CARRYSAFE
collar section contains a magnet to deactivate the sea water contacts of the EPIRB.
This allows the EPIRB to be removed easily from the vessel and transported in, for
example, a wet grab bag.
WARNING
The EPIRB will NOT be activated by moisture while it is in the bracket or
in the CARRYSAFE collar (but it may activate if placed in close
proximity to a magnet). The EPIRB must be removed from all parts of
the bracket; it will then activate if immersed or if switched on manually.
