LIFE JACKET INSTALLATION
If your ResQLink AIS is not already installed into a life jacket, please follow the instructions below
carefully.
The following guide is a generic guide to installation of the ResQLink AIS to a life jacket.
!
Although the ResQLink AIS is designed to fit most life jackets, always check with your
Life Jacket manufacturer to ensure there are no special fixing instructions for that
model.
When fitted to a life jacket, to prevent accidental activation, please ensure the clear
!
cover is fitted over the grey slider as described in Section 5 with enough free length of
the activation tape so it will not pull on the slider during normal activity of the life jacket.
When carrying the ResQLink AIS please ensure the Arming Slider is in the up position.
For installation to life jackets where the bladder is permanently attached to the cover,
!
please see the separate instruction sheet, available from the ACR Electronics website.
Once completed the installation should be tested to ensure correct activation takes
!
place. Refer to the life jacket manufacturer for the manual inflation process.
The ResQLink AIS is activated when the activation slider is pulled from the front of the device by the
tension in the tape created by the inflation of a life jacket. Unless the life jacket inflates the ResQLink
AIS will not activate.
To activate the ResQLink AIS the activation tape must be wrapped around a substantial part of the life
jacket bladder. Many modern life jackets taper towards the neck for comfort and support in the water
and correct installation of the ResQLink AIS must ensure that the tape is around the larger part of the
bladder rather than a tapered section where expansion may not be sufficient.
Fitting the Oral Tube bracket as low down the Oral Tube as possible usually assists in ensuring the
tape is passed around the main section of bladder.
