Chapter 5 About Float-free Capsule
WARNING
!
Once the Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) operates, it cannot be reused. Be careful
for capsule so as not to be stolen or not to be activated by mischief when the ship is
in port.
Confirm that the ship's name and ID correspond to those indicated on the label of
the capsule unit.
Rescue work will be planned and executed based on the information of ship's name
and ID transmitted from the capsule unit. Proper planning of rescue work would not
be possible if ship's name and ID are wrong. If the ship's name and ID indicated on
the label of the capsule unit is wrong, ask the purchasing dealer, JRC agent or the
JRC branches to change it with correct ship's name and ID.
If right ID cannot be set in the capsule, do not install the capsule. Otherwise, a large
trouble will be given to the search rescue organization.
Do not install the capsule in an extremely vibrating place such as a handrail. The
capsule may be damaged due to vibration.
Do not install the capsule in a strong magnetic field. The capsule may activate by
the magnetic force.
The capsule must be installed apart from the compass and so for the 0.8 meters or
more so that the magnetism is not influenced.
Mount the capsule on the bracket properly.
Improper mounting causes the capsule not to be automatically released from the
bracket in a sinking.
The battery and Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) which expired effective periods
expired must not absolutely be used.
If such battery and HRU are used, the distress signal may not be emitted at the
distress. Take care that their lives do not expire.
