JCY-1900/1950 VDR Service Manual
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.
