8 BULKHEAD BRACKET INSTALLATION
8.1 Siting
The bulkhead bracket should ideally be sited in plain view near an emergency exit.
When choosing a suitable mounting position you should also consider:
0 Ease of access in an emergency.
. Mount at least 1 metre (3’) from any compass equipment.
0 If there is any likelihood of the EPIRB being replaced in its bracket after
activation then ensure that the antenna has as clear a view of the sky as
possible.
8.2 Mounting procedure
The bulkhead bracket is supplied with four stainless steel screws 25mm (1") in length.
The bracket mounts against a flat surface using 4 fixing points. Offer the bracket into
the chosen position and mark through the mounting slots and drill 3mm (1/ ”) holes.
25
8.2.1 Mounting instruction plate
The EPIRB is supplied with a self-adhesive instruction plate, which has basic visual
instructions showing how to operate the EPIRB in an emergency.
Mount the instruction plate next to the EPIRB so that it is easily visible in an
emergency.
During vessel maintenance, ensure the plate does not get painted over or cleaned
down with strong degreasing solvents.

9 ENCLOSURE INSTALLATION
9.1 Siting
The enclosure should be mounted upright against a vertical bulkhead. Alternately, it
may be mounted horizontally on a flat surface, such as a cabin roof. No other
orientations are recommended.
W/ J x
If you have a float-free EPIRB it is critical that you choose a position where the
released EPIRB will not get trapped by overhangs, rigging, antennas etc, should
the vessel ever sink. An expanse of flat surface is required to allow the enclosure lid
to eject. Use the list below to choose a suitable mounting position:
0 Mount on the outside of the vessel’s structure, as high as possible.
. Mount close to the vessel’s navigation position.
- Consider ease of access in an emergency.
AVOID:
Positions with insufficient space for lid ejection and maintenance.
Positions within 1m (3') of any compass equipment.
Mounting within 2m (6') of any Radar antenna.
Direct impact from waves
Siting where damage is likely.
Exhaust fumes, chemical and oil sources.
9.2 Mounting procedure
The enclosure mounts against a flat surface using 4 fixing points. See illustration for
mounting dimensions, or use the backplate of the enclosure as a marking guide. To do
this, pull out the R—shaped clip and remove the enclosure lid. Note how the EPIRB fits
then remove it to somewhere dry (its sea switch is now armed).
Offer the back plate into the chosen position and mark through the mounting holes.
The enclosure is supplied with a set of 25mm (1") stainless steel fixings. If you are
using the nuts and bolts, drill 6mm (1/4”) holes where you have marked. You will need
a 4mm Allen key to tighten the bolts. If the rear of the mounting surface is inaccessible,
use the self-tapping screws supplied. Always fit washers under heads of the screws to
avoid damaging the plastic.

9.3 Mounting instruction plate
The EPIRB is supplied with a rigid plate giving visual instructions on how to operate the
EPIRB in an emergency. Mount this next to your EPIRB as explained in section 8.2.1.
9.4 Marking Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) expiry
If you are installing a float-free EPIRB you must now mark the HRU expiry date. The
HRU has a 2 year in-service life which starts as soon as it gets exposure to a marine
environment. Hence the 2 years starts at installation and it is left to the customer to
mark this date during installation. A date 2 years into the future should be marked on
the HRU body and copied onto the label on the side of the enclosure. The HRU is
marked by cutting out the corresponding dates on its label, as shown on the separate
leaflet.
The enclosure should be marked using the alpha-numeric stickers provided, then
covering them with the clear adhesive label provided (but see 9.5 first). The preferred
date format is month and year, for example : JUN 2006.
28
9.5 Marking vessel name
In many countries it is usual to have your EPIRB programmed by your supplier (see
registration section). Your supplier will then mark all the EPIRB labels accordingly.
However, if your EPIRB was purchased in the USA, Canada or UK then your EPIRB
will have all the necessary markings except for vessel name. In these countries it is
usually left to the customer to mark the vessel name during installation.
it is strongly recommended (and is mandatory in some countries) that the vessel name
is marked on the rear of the EPIRB itself and also on the enclosure, if you have one.
Use the alpha-numeric stickers provided to mark the vessel name (or its abbreviation)
on the top line of the EPIRB’s rear label and again on the enclosure label. Protect the
markings with a section of the clear adhesive label provided.
