TECHNICAL DATA Pertinent technical data is listed below: ITEM Frequency Power Output Operating Life Battery Emission Modulation Frequency Stability Operating Temperatures Activation Size Weight Accessories (Optional) CHARACTERISTICS 121.5 MHz Minimum 75 mW during 24 hours operation 24 hours minimum at -10°, (-14°F) longer in temperate climates Lithium battery, 6V Duracell DL223A, (or equivalent) sold with beacon.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION GENERAL The MINI B ILS Beacon has been designed for multi-purpose installation for survival use, personnel, rafts, floats and survival craft. It should be stowed on your persons, where it will be readily available in an emergency, or mounted where easily accessible with the optional MINI ILS Mounting Bracket (P/N 9321).
OPERATIONAL NOTES The EPIRB is designed to float on water but will operate best when held upright out of water. An operational transmission on land should be conducted in an area free of obstructions, which could absorb RF energy and limit radiation patterns. Position the antenna straight up and extend (perpendicular to ground) and not pointing toward the receiving station.
b. Remove old battery and place new battery in battery clip with groove side of battery down and flat side of battery up. Caution: Make sure flat side of battery is up. Otherwise, the polarity of the battery would be reversed and damage to the battery will occur. The battery also poses a possible fire, explosion, or burn hazard when placed in the battery clip upside down.
1. To ensure continued reliability, the unit should be checked for operation at least once every 90 (ninety) days, following the procedure of Section 5.2. 2. Do not use cleaners or petroleum distillates. PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTATION The MINI B ILS contains lithium batteries (solid cathode, total 3.4 grams lithium). The original shipping carton may be used or consult your local transportation authority with regard to applicable regulations for transporting the EPIRB.
