TEST OF RADIO EQUIPMENT AND RESERVE SOURCE OF ENERGY
Weekly:
GMDSS handheld VHF transceivers to be tested without using the mandatory
required emergency batteries.
Monthly:
Float-free and manual EPIRBs to be checked using the means provided for testing on the
equipment. Check data for periodical maintenance requirement for float-free EPIRB.
Search and rescue radar transponders (SART) to be checked against 9 GHz radar.
Float-free EPIRBs are required to go through a periodical maintenance
every 24 months. (Only for NOR/NIS flag vessels).
False alerts transmitted by EPIRB
False alerts are a serious problem for the rescue service. Nearly 90% of EPIRB
initiated distress alerts turn out to be false alarms.
If for any reason, your EPIRB should cause a false alarm, it is most important that you
contact the nearest search and rescue authority and tell them it was a false alarm. They
can then stand down any rescue service (coast radio station or appropriate CES or
RCC). Use any means at your disposal to make contact. Switch off the distress alarm
by de-activating your EPIRB, as soon as possible.
If your beacon is activated in a non-distress situation or a distress situation which has
been resolved and you no longer require assistance, contact the nearest search and
rescue authorities via the most expeditious means available with the following
information:
Beacon ID number (15 character UIN):
Position (At time of activation):
Date of Activation:
Time of Activation (Time zone):
Duration of Activation:

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The 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 rules
for use on vessels and life rafts in the maritime service.Tron 40GPS meets the
following specifications for 406 MHz EPIRBs for use in search and rescue operations at sea:
ETS 300 066
MPT 1259
C/S T.001
IMO A662
IMO A695 (17){1}
IMO A810 (19)
DIR 96/98 EEC
The Tron 40GPS is buoyant, and is designed to automatically release and activate in
case of an emergency where the EPIRB and its bracket is submerged into the sea.The
Tron 40GPS can also be operated as a manual EPIRB, by manually releasing it from its
bracket and then activate it.
Three different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40GPS. MB4 is the
manual bracket and FB4 and FBH4 is the automatic bracket.The manual bracket
comes without the hydrostatic release mechanism and is used to store the beacon
inside the wheelhouse or other protected places.The automatic bracket is
mounted 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 rescue
authorities.The EPIRB gives an immediate alarm when activated, transmitting the ID
of the ship in distress. Care must be taken not to activate the EPIRB unless in an
emergency situation, in such cases the user will be held responsible. For periodic
testing a test function is implemented. During the test cycle the EPIRB does a selftest
on the transmitters and on the battery status. No emergency signal is transmitted
during the selftest.
The battery of the EPIRB will last for at least 48 hours from activation of the EPIRB.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The COSPAS/SARSAT system was introduced in 1982 as a world wide search
and rescue system with the help of satellites covering the earth’s surface. Since
the introduction of the system more than 5500 persons have been rescued by
the COSPAS/SARSAT system (June 1995). Currently the system consists of 6
different satellites in a polar orbit constellation, these satellites cover the
entire earth’s surface and receive the emergency signal from the 406 MHz
transmitter within the Tron 40GPS, more polar orbiting satellites will be available in the future, giving a faster location and rescue time.
In addition several geostationary satellites are equipped with a 406 MHz transponder, these satellites are not able to locate the Tron 40GPS but will give an
early warning to the rescue forces, minimising the time from an emergency
occurs till the rescue forces are at the site.
Each emergency EPIRB in the system is programmed with its own unique
code, therefore it is vital that the ships data that is given to the dealer you
obtained your Tron 40GPS, is correct. It is also important that your EPIRB is
registered in the database for each country.This database is normally located
in 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 on
121.5 MHz and a digital signal is transmitted on 406.025 MHz. After the Tron
40GPS is activated, the next passing satellite will detect the transmitted signal and
relay 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 the
Tron 40GPS and a ground station.The ground station or LUT has a 2500 km
satellite reception radius centred at the LUT. In areas without LUT coverage
(mostly less populated areas in the southern hemisphere), signals from the
121.5 MHz transmitter will not be detected by the satellites, only by passing
aircraft’s.This is not the case with the 406 MHz transmitter, because the satellites have a memory unit which stores the signals for relay to the next available
LUT giving it a truly global coverage.
Once the signal is received by the LUT, it is processed for location and sent to
a Mission Control Centre (MCC).The MCC sorts the alert data according to
geographic search and rescue regions and distributes the information to the
appropriate Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC), or if outside the national
search and rescue area, to the appropriate MCC that covers the area where
the distress signal was detected.The RCC in turn takes the necessary action
to initiate search and rescue activities.
11
1 . 4 D I S T R E S S LO C AT I O N D E T E R M I N AT I O N
The location of the distress signal is determined by taking measurements of the
doppler shift of the EPIRB frequency when the satellite first approach and then
pass the EPIRB. The actual frequency is heard at the time of closest approach
(TCA). Knowing the position of the satellite and using the received doppler
signal information, it is possible to determine the location of the Tron 40GPS
from 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.A
second satellite pass confirms the correct location (A).With the 406 system the
real 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 A D D E D VA LU E I N T R O N 4 0 G P S
The Tron 40GPS has been designed to operate with the COSPAS-SARSAT
system and will enhance further the lifesaving capabilities of conventional
beacons.The integrated 12 channel GPS module accept continuous positional
information from the standard GPS system using 27 satellites providing an accuracy of approximately 100m. Upon activation of the Tron 40GPS in an emergency
situation the positional information is incorporated into the distress message
transmitted to LUT.The main advantage with integrated GPS in Tron 40GPS is
the rapid response and positional accuracy providing vital information during a
rescue operation practically eliminating valuable time spent searching for the
distressed.Whenever a distress message transmitted by Tron 40GPS is detected
by a polar orbit satellite (LEOSAR) the delayed alert remains the same as for
non-GPS integrated EPIRBS (max. 90 min.), but the position accuracy is improved
considerably from a radius of 5 km. to amazing 100m.Whenever a distress
message transmitted by Tron 40GPS is detected by geostationary satellite
(GEOSTAR) the alert is immediate (max. 5 min.), still providing the accurate position of 100m. Please note that the positional accuracy delay is depending on the
actual protocol used and programmed into the EPIRB and the location of the
emergency.The information is based on the capacity of the LEOSAR/GEOSAR
COSPAS-SARSAT system.
1 . 6 E P I R B R E G I S T R AT I O N
Normally the MCC will contact the vessel or the contact person registered in a
shipping 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 for
some 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 shipping
register or in the EPIRB database.
Tron 40GPS purchased in some countries will have a registration form attached
to it, it is important that this registration form is completed by the owner and
returned to the place the EPIRB was purchased or to the address specified on
the registration form.
12
Other countries use the already available shipping register to obtain the necessary information for a vessel in distress, in these countries the ship is already
registered and no registration form is necessary, however it is vital that the
coding 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 and
rescue operation. Reprogramming the Tron 40GPS can be done at authorised
JOTRON 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 the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using the registration 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 20746-4304
Vessel owners shall advise NOAA in writing upon change of vessel or EPIRB
ownership.Transfer of EPIRB to another vessel, or any other change in registration information, NOAA will provide registrants with proof of registration and
change of registration postcards.

To manually remove the beacon from the bracket, pull out the locking pin on the
clamp and open the retaining rod that holds the beacon.
Tie the beacon lanyard to you or to the survival craft and then follow instructions 1
to 6, or put beacon in the water to activate it. It is not recommended to operate the
beacon inside a liferaft or under a cover or canopy. Do NOT tie the lanyard to the
ship in distress, as this will prevent the unit to functioning if the ship sinks.
1. Break the seal and pull the locking pin holding the main activator switch.
2. Push slider to move switch to ON/EMERGENCY position.
3.The switch is spring loaded and will automatically go to the
ON/EMERGENCY position.
4.The LED indicator, located at the top of the EPIRB, will start flashing
indicating that the EPIRB is operating. In addition the strobe light will start to
operate.The LED indicator will turn off after a few seconds.
5. If possible keep the EPIRB in an open area, away from any metal objects (ship
construction etc.) that may limit the satellite coverage.
6.Transmission can be stopped by turning the switch to READY position.

A U TO M AT I C O P E R AT I O N ( F B 4 / F B H 4 ) [ F I G . 3 ]
1.The Tron 40GPS will automatically release from the bracket, float to the surface
and start to transmit, when the EPIRB in its bracket is deployed into water at a
depth of app. 2-4 meters (6 - 13 feet).
2.Alternatively the EPIRB can be manually released from the bracket and put into the
water.
3.Transmission will continue until the EPIRB is lifted out of the water, and dried off.
The transmission can also be stopped by placing the EPIRB in the bracket.
3.3 TESTING THE TRON 40GPS [FIG. 4]
To perform the self test, the EPIRB has to be removed from the bracket.
1. Press the spring-loaded switch on top of the EPIRB to the TEST position. Keep
hands and other objects away from the upper part of the EPIRB (away from the
antenna).
2.A successful test will consist of a series of blinks on the LED test-indicator,
followed by a continuous light and a strobe flash after app. 15 seconds.
15
3. If the EPIRB fail to end up with a continuous light, this indicates a fault in the EPIRB.
4. Release the switch and put the EPIRB back into the bracket.What the self test actually does is first to wait app. 15 seconds to allow the reference oscillator inside the
EPIRB to warm up.Then a short burst is transmitted by the 121.5 MHz transmitter,
while the output level of the transmitter is checked. Finally, a test signal is transmitted
by the 406 transmitter. During this test signal the battery voltage, output power and
frequency is checked.
While testing the 406 MHz transmitter a test message is transmitted, this test message
is coded with a special synchronisation code and will not be detected by the COSPAS/
SARSAT satellites.The purpose of this test message is to control the actual coding of
the EPIRB.This can be done with the JOTRON test unit TronDEC/UniDeck or an other
EPIRB checker.

5. MAINTENANCE OF JOTRON EPIRBS
Every Month:
Perform EPIRB self-test. (See chapter 3.3.). What the self test actually does is to
send out a short test signal on 121,5 and 406,025 Mhz, testing the output of the
transmitter.While transmitting the test signal, the battery voltage, output power and
phase lock is tested. During the test of the 406Mhz transmitter a test message is
transmitted, this test message is coded with a special synchronisation code and will
not be recognized as real alert by the COSPAS/SARSAT satellites.
Carry out visual inspection for defects on both the EPIRB and Bracket.The EPIRB
should be easily removed and replaced in the Bracket. Make sure that the EPIRB
and Bracket is not painted or otherwise covered with chemicals, oil, etc. Check the
expiry date of the EPIRB Battery and the Hydrostatic Release Mechanism. Check
the presence of a firmly attached lanyard in good condition and that it is neatly
stowed 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 of
406 MHz satellite EPIRBs) as required by SOLAS IV/15.9.This test can be carried
out by one of Jotron’s authorised representatives or any other service provider in
possession of a Tron UNIDEC,Tron DEC or any other Cospas-Sarsat EPIRB
tester/decoder.The test ensures that the EPIRB is within its specifications and
complies with IMO and the COSPAS/SARSAT system. Documented proof of test or
Test Certificate containing test results and EPIRB data issued by service provider
must be kept on board for future inspections the next 12 months.
Every 2nd Year:
Hydrostatic Release Mechanism including Plastic Bolt on the Float Free Brackets
must be replaced. (Check expiry date on label).
Every 4th Year:
The EPIRB Battery must be replaced every 4th year, unless otherwise instructed by
the 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
Tron 40GPS self test:
• Remove the beacon from the bracket.
• Press the springloaded main switch of the EPIRB to the TEST position. Keep hands
and 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, followed
by 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 to
prevent false alarms. (Except U.S version/model).
Please find further information in the Operators Manual.
5.1 REPLACING THE RELEASE MECHANISM [FIG. 5]

6. ACCESSORIES
BRACKETS
Three different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40GPS. MB4 is the manual
bracket. FB4 and FBH4 are the automatic brackets. The manual bracket comes without
the hydrostatic release mechanism and is 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.
6 . 1 F LO AT F R E E B R A C K E T F B 4
WARNING:
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 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.
6 . 2 F LO AT F R E E B R A C K E T F B H 4
The 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 MB4
When 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 release
mechanism.This bracket is typically used to store the EPIRB inside the wheel house or
other protected areas of the ship.When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the MB4
bracket, it must be manually removed before any operation can take place, therefore
the bracket should be mounted in an easily accessible place where it can be reached in
a 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 bolts
supplied with the bracket.
The bracket could be mounted in either an upright or horizontal position, whichever is
the best regarding maintenance and operation.
