    1. OPERATION How to Release the Capsule from the Bracket of the Float-free DRU in Emergency Situation In an emergency situation, release the capsule from the bracket of the Float-free DRU to remove the capsule if possible. Note 1: Do not drop the capsule from a high place. Note 2: Do not release the capsule other than in an emergency situation or maintenance.

  • Page 27: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is important to maintain performance. This chapter contains maintenance instructions to be followed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment. WARNING NOTICE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive Do not open the DCU cover. sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.

  • Page 28: Maintenance Of The Float-Free Dru

    2. MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the Float-free DRU The capsule of the Float-free DRU transmits the signal similar to the distress signal of a satellite EPIRB. Therefore, trouble to the search and rescue authorities may occur if the capsule acciden- tally transmits the signal. If accidental transmission occurs, stop the transmission and inform the search and rescue authorities of the accidental transmission.
  • Page 29 2. MAINTENANCE the VDR can retain the data of the latest 10 minutes. If more than 10 minutes passes after re- leasing the capsule, the data of 10 minutes before the capsule is returned to the bracket is lost. At this time, the communication error with the Float-free DRU appears on the remote alarm pan- el.
  • Page 30 2. MAINTENANCE • Do not use force to reattach the capsule and bracket cover. Also, confirm that there is no space or foreign material between the storage module and docking module (see figure below). If the capsule is not seated in the bracket correctly, the communication error occurs on the remote alarm panel after 10 minutes and the capsule may transmit the signal because that the elec- trodes are shorted by water.
  • Page 31 2. MAINTENANCE Maintenance point Result Normal self Do the self test as follows: test Note: Hold the capsule by its handle during the test. This keeps foreign material away from the silicone grease on the capsule, and keeps the an- tenna of the capsule away from metallic objects or human body.

    2. MAINTENANCE test is conducted by a engineer authorized by the Ship’s Electric Installation Contractors’ Associ- ation of Japan. 2.2.3 Shore-Based Maintenance (SBM) The capsule of the Float-free DRU has the same functionality of an satellite EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon). So, it is required to conduct the Shore-Based Maintenance (SBM) within five years from installation or previous SBM.
