4.4 Loading the EPIRB3 Pro into the ARH1 Auto Release Housing
! When replacing the EPIRB3 Pro in the Auto Release Housing please ensure that
the unit is clean and dry. The area around the activation controls and the lanyard
should be free from water and dirt to ensure reliable operation.
The EPIRB3 Pro is held in place inside the Auto Release Housing by the HR1E Hydrostatic
Release Unit (HRU) which locks into position using a spring.
Following installation (or after maintenance, testing, etc.) it is necessary to replace the
EPIRB3 Pro into the Auto Release Housing.
1. Pull back the HRU
2. Load the EPIRB3 Pro, controls
facing up, into the location seat,
ensuring to carefully fold the
antenna back behind the EPIRB3
Pro.
3. Gently lower the HRU back into
the locked position - this holds
the EPIRB3 Pro securely in place.
4. When installing your EPIRB3 Pro
for the first time, the expiry date
on the HRU label (shown below)
should be completed with an
indelible pen .
NOTE: The expiry date should be two years
from the date of installation on to
your vessel, but no more than three
years from the date of manufacture.
5. Clearly mark the expiry date on
to the separate label provided for
use on the outside of the Housing.
