Mounting Instruction Plate - mcmurdo 406 EPIRB User Manual

7.3. Mounting instruction plate

The EPIRB is supplied with an instruction plate. This is a rigid plate with basic visual
instructions for how to operate the EPIRB in an emergency. The plate varies slightly
depending on whether you have a wall bracket or a full enclosure. The wall bracket version is
illustrated below.
The instruction plate should be mounted next to the EPIRB so that it is easily visible in an
emergency. Use the four self-tapping screws supplied to mount the plate. Mounting
dimensions are shown in the diagram above, or you can use the plate itself as a drilling guide
for the screws. The recommended pilot hole size is 3 mm maximum.
During vessel maintenance, ensure the plate does not get painted over or cleaned down with
strong degreasing solvents.
