Page 17: Chapter 1. Introduction
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 System Outline Satellite EPIRB is a beacon installed onto the ship under GMDSS rule. Should the ship sink, the Satellite EPIRB will automatically float on the water, emit 406.028 MHz and 121. 5 MHz distress beacon for over 48 hours. The 406.028 MHz beacon is received by LEOSAR of the COSPAS/SARSAT system, and distress position is measured by Doppler effect between moving speed of the satellite and rotation of the earth. -
Page 18: Feature Of Satellite Epirb
1-2 Feature of Satellite EPIRB The Satellite EPIRB emergency position indicating radio beacon has the following features. ▪ Emitting 2 types of distress signals: 406.028 MHz and 121.5 MHz ▪ The Satellite EPIRB main unit attached to the automatic release bracket is automatically released within water depth 4 meters and sends two types of distress signals. -

WARNING The selector switch is set to “READY”... -
Page 24: Outline Of Installation
WARNING This unit may be damaged due to vibration. Do not absolutely install this unit in an extremely vibrating place such as a handrail. This unit must not be installed in a place where a strong magnetic field is generated. The Satellite EPIRB may activate by the magnetic force. -
Page 25: Chapter 3. Operation
CHAPTER 3. OPERATION 3-1 Selector switch The selector switch of this unit has following three positions. (1) READY Used to automatic activation. Distress signals are emitted immediately when the conductive switch senses water after the Satellite EPIRB main unit is released from the automatic release bracket. That is, the Satellite EPIRB main unit must float on the water surface to be able to emit distress signals. -
Page 26: Power Off
Be sure to return the stopper to the original position after the selector switch was set. Stopper Stopper pin Selector switch Fig.3-1b Reset of the Stopper 3-2 Power OFF Confirm that the selector switch is set to “READY” (If not, set it to “READY”), and take the Satellite EPIRB out of water. -
Page 27: Manual Activation
3-3 Manual activation WARNING Do not set the selector switch to “ON “except the case of manual activation in the emergency. Distress signals are emitted when turning the selector switch “ON”. If the selector switch is set to “ON”, the Satellite EPIRB is activated, and it sends distress signals 50 seconds later regardless of its status. -
Page 28: Automatic Activation
CAUTION Open slowly the cover of release bracket. If you open faster, EPIRB main unit may deviate from release bracket and fall down. NOTE Manual activation is not possible unless breaking the stopper pin. Therefore, broken stopper pin is the evidence that the EPIRB had been once activated manually. In that case, replacing of the battery is required together with stopper pin. -

Page 39: Periodical Cleaning Of Conductive Switch Terminal
4-3 Periodical cleaning of conductive switch terminal (1) Importance of periodical cleaning This Satellite EPIRB transmits distress signal after detecting water when it is activated by automatic release. Although the Satellite EPIRB is stored in a case (automatic release bracket), small dust may invades into the case and adhere on the conductive switch terminal as the automatic release bracket is not water-tight structure. - Page 40 CAUTION Do not wipe the both of conductive switch terminals in the same time. It might cause the false transmission of distress signal due to the sensor detects the water and activated. Do not use salt water to wipe the Satellite EPIRB. Using salt water may cause false transmission of the distress signal by adhering salt on the conductive switch terminals.

Page 41: Test
4-4 Test This unit has the following test functions. Please refer section 3-6 “Test” for the details. CAUTION In this test, permitted distress signal for the test purpose is transmitted only by one burst. Do not execute the test repeatedly in a short time frame. Execute the test in 00 - 05 minutes of each o’clock for the reduction of processing capacity in the satellite. -
