101. INTRODUCTION1.1 GENERALThe Tron 40GPS is an emergency equipment consisting of:• Tron 40GPS COSPAS/SARSAT emergency EPIRB• One of the following brackets:FB4 - Automatic float free bracket.FBH4 - Automatic float free bracket v/heating.MB4 - Manual bracket.The JOTRON Tron 40GPS EPIRB is developed to meet the regulations and rulesfor use on vessels and life rafts in the maritime service.Tron 40GPS meets thefollowing specifications for 406 MHz EPIRBs for use in search and rescue opera-tions at sea:ETS 300 066MPT 1259C/S T.001IMO A662IMO A695 (17){1}IMO A810 (19)DIR 96/98 EECThe Tron 40GPS is buoyant,and is designed to automatically release and activate incase of an emergency where the EPIRB and its bracket is submerged into the sea.TheTron 40GPS can also be operated as a manual EPIRB,by manually releasing it from itsbracket and then activate it.Three different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40GPS.MB4 is themanual bracket and FB4 and FBH4 is the automatic bracket.The manual bracketcomes without the hydrostatic release mechanism and is used to store the beaconinside the wheelhouse or other protected places.The automatic bracket ismounted in a free space outside where the beacon can be released automatically.The purpose of the Tron 40GPS is to give a primary alarm to the search and rescueauthorities.The EPIRB gives an immediate alarm when activated,transmitting the IDof the ship in distress.Care must be taken not to activate the EPIRB unless in anemergency situation,in such cases the user will be held responsible.For periodictesting a test function is implemented.During the test cycle the EPIRB does a selfteston the transmitters and on the battery status.No emergency signal is transmittedduring the selftest.The battery of the EPIRB will last for at least 48 hours from activation of the EPIRB.
111.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONThe COSPAS/SARSAT system was introduced in 1982 as a world wide searchand rescue system with the help of satellites covering the earth’s surface.Sincethe introduction of the system more than 5500 persons have been rescued bythe COSPAS/SARSAT system (June 1995).Currently the system consists of 6different satellites in a polar orbit constellation,these satellites cover theentire earth’s surface and receive the emergency signal from the 406 MHztransmitter within the Tron 40GPS,more polar orbiting satellites will be avai-lable in the future,giving a faster location and rescue time.In addition several geostationary satellites are equipped with a 406 MHz trans-ponder,these satellites are not able to locate the Tron 40GPS but will give anearly warning to the rescue forces,minimising the time from an emergencyoccurs till the rescue forces are at the site.Each emergency EPIRB in the system is programmed with its own uniquecode,therefore it is vital that the ships data that is given to the dealer youobtained your Tron 40GPS,is correct.It is also important that your EPIRB isregistered in the database for each country.This database is normally locatedin the same country that the ship is registered.1.3 SIGNAL DETECTION [FIG. 1]When the Tron 40GPS is activated (manually or automatically) it transmits on the frequencies 121.5 MHz and 406.025 MHz.An analogue signal is emitted on121.5 MHz and a digital signal is transmitted on 406.025 MHz. After the Tron40GPS is activated,the next passing satellite will detect the transmitted signal andrelay it to an antenna at a ground station,called a LUT.For the 121.5 MHz signal the satellite must be within line of sight of both theTron 40GPS and a ground station.The ground station or LUT has a 2500 kmsatellite reception radius centred at the LUT.In areas without LUT coverage(mostly less populated areas in the southern hemisphere),signals from the121.5 MHz transmitter will not be detected by the satellites,only by passingaircraft’s.This is not the case with the 406 MHz transmitter,because the satel-lites have a memory unit which stores the signals for relay to the next availableLUT giving it a truly global coverage.Once the signal is received by the LUT,it is processed for location and sent toa Mission Control Centre (MCC).The MCC sorts the alert data according togeographic search and rescue regions and distributes the information to theappropriate Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC),or if outside the nationalsearch and rescue area,to the appropriate MCC that covers the area wherethe distress signal was detected.The RCC in turn takes the necessary actionto initiate search and rescue activities.
121.4 DISTRESS LOCATION DETERMINATIONThe location of the distress signal is determined by taking measurements of thedoppler shift of the EPIRB frequency when the satellite first approach and thenpass the EPIRB. The actual frequency is heard at the time of closest approach(TCA).Knowing the position of the satellite and using the received dopplersignal information,it is possible to determine the location of the Tron 40GPSfrom the satellite at the TCA.At the LUT,actually two positions are calculated.One is the actual position (A) and the other is the mirror image (B) position.Asecond satellite pass confirms the correct location (A).With the 406 system thereal solution can be determined on the first pass with a reliability of nearly 90%and down to an accuracy of less than 5 km (3.1 miles).1.5 ADDED VALUE IN TRON 40GPSThe Tron 40GPS has been designed to operate with the COSPAS-SARSATsystem and will enhance further the lifesaving capabilities of conventionalbeacons.The integrated 12 channel GPS module accept continuous positionalinformation from the standard GPS system using 27 satellites providing an accu-racy of approximately 100m.Upon activation of the Tron 40GPS in an emergencysituation the positional information is incorporated into the distress messagetransmitted to LUT.The main advantage with integrated GPS in Tron 40GPS isthe rapid response and positional accuracy providing vital information during arescue operation practically eliminating valuable time spent searching for thedistressed.Whenever a distress message transmitted by Tron 40GPS is detectedby a polar orbit satellite (LEOSAR) the delayed alert remains the same as fornon-GPS integrated EPIRBS (max.90 min.),but the position accuracy is improvedconsiderably from a radius of 5 km.to amazing 100m.Whenever a distressmessage transmitted by Tron 40GPS is detected by geostationary satellite(GEOSTAR) the alert is immediate (max.5 min.),still providing the accurate posi-tion of 100m.Please note that the positional accuracy delay is depending on theactual protocol used and programmed into the EPIRB and the location of theemergency.The information is based on the capacity of the LEOSAR/GEOSARCOSPAS-SARSAT system.1.6 EPIRB REGISTRATIONNormally the MCC will contact the vessel or the contact person registered in ashipping register and/or an EPIRB register (Ships owner,family member etc.)before alerting the RCC.This is to determine if the alarm from the EPIRB forsome reason is a false alarm,and an expensive rescue operation can be avoided.Because of this it is important that the ships data is correct in the shippingregister or in the EPIRB database.Tron 40GPS purchased in some countries will have a registration form attachedto it,it is important that this registration form is completed by the owner andreturned to the place the EPIRB was purchased or to the address specified onthe registration form.
13Other countries use the already available shipping register to obtain the neces-sary information for a vessel in distress,in these countries the ship is alreadyregistered and no registration form is necessary,however it is vital that thecoding of the Tron 40GPS is kept up to date with datas on the ship (nationality,call sign,etc.),to minimise the time from an alarm to the start of the search andrescue operation.Reprogramming the Tron 40GPS can be done at authorisedJOTRON agents in more than 180 different places throughout the world.If you are a resident of the United States,you must register this beacon with theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using the registra-tion card included with the unit.Fill out the form and send it to:SARSAT Beacon Registry,NOAA-SARSAT,E/SP3,FB4,Room 3320,5200 Auth Road, Suitland, MD 20746-4304Vessel owners shall advise NOAA in writing upon change of vessel or EPIRBownership.Transfer of EPIRB to another vessel,or any other change in registra-tion information,NOAA will provide registrants with proof of registration andchange of registration postcards.2.

5. MAINTENANCE OF JOTRON EPIRBSEvery Month:Perform EPIRB self-test.(See chapter 3.3.). What the self test actually does is tosend out a short test signal on 121,5 and 406,025 Mhz,testing the output of thetransmitter.While transmitting the test signal,the battery voltage,output power andphase lock is tested.During the test of the 406Mhz transmitter a test message istransmitted,this test message is coded with a special synchronisation code and willnot be recognized as real alert by the COSPAS/SARSAT satellites.Carry out visual inspection for defects on both the EPIRB and Bracket.The EPIRBshould be easily removed and replaced in the Bracket.Make sure that the EPIRBand Bracket is not painted or otherwise covered with chemicals,oil,etc.Check theexpiry date of the EPIRB Battery and the Hydrostatic Release Mechanism.Checkthe presence of a firmly attached lanyard in good condition and that it is neatlystowed and is not tied to the vessel or the mounting bracket.Every 12th Month:Perform extended annual test according to IMO’s MSC/Circ.1040 (Annual testing of406 MHz satellite EPIRBs) as required by SOLAS IV/15.9.This test can be carriedout by one of Jotron’s authorised representatives or any other service provider inpossession of a Tron UNIDEC,Tron DEC or any other Cospas-Sarsat EPIRBtester/decoder.The test ensures that the EPIRB is within its specifications andcomplies with IMO and the COSPAS/SARSAT system.Documented proof of test orTest Certificate containing test results and EPIRB data issued by service providermust be kept on board for future inspections the next 12 months.Every 2nd Year:Hydrostatic Release Mechanism including Plastic Bolt on the Float Free Bracketsmust be replaced.(Check expiry date on label).Every 4th Year:The EPIRB Battery must be replaced every 4th year,unless otherwise instructed bythe vessel flag state or local authorities.(Check expiry date on label).NOR/NIS flag vessels are required to go through periodical maintenance every 24 months by replacing the complete EPIRB.17
18Tron 40GPS self test:• Remove the beacon from the bracket.• Press the springloaded main switch of the EPIRB to the TEST position.Keep handsand other objects away from the upper part of the EPIRB (away from the antenna).• A successful test will consist of a series of blinks on the LED testindicator,followedby a continuous light and a strobe flash after app.15 seconds.• If the EPIRB fail to end up with a continuos light,this indicates a fault in the EPIRB.• Release the switch and put the EPIRB back into the bracket.Note:The EPIRB can not transmit while placed in the bracket.This feature is built in toprevent false alarms.(Except U.S version/model).Please find further information in the Operators Manual.5.1 REPLACING THE RELEASE MECHANISM [FIG. 5]Hydrostatic unit.The hydrostatic unit fitted on the float free bracket (FB4/FBH4) must be replacedevery 2.year.Marking on the hydrostatic unit show the expiry dateThe hydrostaticcomes complete with a new bolt and accessories.1.Remove the EPIRB from its bracket by pulling out the locking pin on the clamp andopen the retaining rod that holds the beacon.2.Unscrew the plastic bolt [FIG 5] (1) by screwing it counter clockwise and remove thehydrostatic release mechanism [FIG 5] (2).3.Check expiration date on the new hydrostatic release mechanism.The date shouldbe approximately 2 years from the date of purchase.4.Mount the new hydrostatic release mechanism. The unit is fixed to the bracket witha plastic bolt containing washer,rubber seal,washer,O-ring.5.Secure the plastic bolt by hand force only!5.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY UNIT [FIG. 6]The battery unit consists of the complete lower half of the Tron 40GPS and is tobe replaced every 4.year.The marking on the battery unit show the expiry date.A new battery comes complete and is easily replaced by opening the equator ringbetween the top and bottom of the EPIRB.The battery must be replaced if the EPIRB is activated for any purpose other than test.Replacing the battery unit should be done by skilled technicians only - preferable by a JOTRON agent.Your closest JOTRON agent with TronSTAT facilities has been speci-ally trained to perform the necessary operation and is also able to do an extended testof the EPIRB,ensuring that the EPIRB operates within the specifications.
1.Remove the EPIRB from its bracket (chapter5.1.1).2.Remove the equator ring by pressing it out from the housing.3.Separate the two halves of the EPIRB housing.4.Unplug the 6 pin connector that comes from the lower EPIRB housing.5.Control that the new battery unit is marked with p/n 97780 and has a new expiration date approximately 4 years from purchase.6.Fit a new gasket on top of the battery unit and reconnect the 6 pin connector,besure that the connector is fitted properly.A noticeable «click» should be heardwhen the connector is in place.7.Orientate the two halves of the EPIRB the following way:An orientation tab is fitted on both halves of the EPIRB,These tabs must be placedcarefully on top of each other.8.Make sure that the gasket is properly in place,and replace the equator ring using aspecial tool to tighten it together.9.Replace the U-shaped bolt and a new split pin to secure the bolt in the equator ring.10.Follow the procedure in chapter 3.3 and test the EPIRB.11.Replace EPIRB in its bracket.195.3 BATTERY DISPOSALDispose in accordance with applicable regulations which vary from country to country.(In most countries,the thrashing of used batteries is forbidden and the end-users areinvited to dispose them properly,eventually through non profit organizations,mandated by local governments or organized on a voluntary basis by professionals).Lithium batteries should have their terminals insulated prior to disposal.5.3.1 Incineration:Incineration should never be performed by battery users but eventually by trained professionals in authorized facilities with proper gas and fumes treatment.5.3.2 Landfilling: Leachability regulations (mg/l)Component Leachability EC limit EPA Other*Iron 100 5Nickel 100 500 2 0,5* applicable to France5.3.3 Recycling:Send to authorized recycling facilities,eventually through licensed waste carrier.
206. ACCESSORIESBRACKETSThree different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40GPS.MB4 is the manualbracket.FB4 and FBH4 are the automatic brackets. The manual bracket comes withoutthe hydrostatic release mechanism and is used to store the beacon inside the wheel-house or other protected places. The automatic brackets are mounted in a free spaceoutside where the beacon can be released automatically.6.1 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FB4WARNING:DO NOT INSTALL THE EPIRB NEAR STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS THAT COULD ACTIVATE THE BEACON.When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the float-free bracket,FB4,it will operate as anautomatic float free unit.Since the release of the EPIRB will be automatic it is impor-tant to mount the bracket in a place where there are no obstacles that can endangerthe automatic release of the EPIRB.The location where the bracket is mounted shouldbe as high as possible on the vessel,and well protected from environmental conditionssuch as direct sea-spray,chemicals,oil,exhaust and vibrations.The location must alsobe easily accessible for testing and maintenance.6.2 FLOAT FREE BRACKET FBH4The float free bracket FBH4 must be connected to the fixed installation (230V AC,10A) through the thermostate connection box according to the connection diagram below.6.3 MANUAL BRACKET MB4When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the MB4 bracket,it will operate as a manual unit.This bracket is similar to the FB4 bracket but does not have the hydrostatic releasemechanism.This bracket is typically used to store the EPIRB inside the wheel house orother protected areas of the ship.When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the MB4bracket,it must be manually removed before any operation can take place,thereforethe bracket should be mounted in an easily accessible place where it can be reached ina hurry in case of an emergency.6.4 MOUNTING THE FB4/FBH4/MB4 BRACKETS [FIG. 7]The bracket is mounted with 4x6mm bolts according to the drawing.Use the boltssupplied with the bracket.The bracket could be mounted in either an upright or horizontal position,whichever isthe best regarding maintenance and operation.CONNECTION DIAGRAMHEATING ELEMENTTHERMOSTATE230V AC, 10A
