3.1 Bulkhead bracket
If you purchased the manually activated EPIRB version, this is
normally supplied with a bulkhead mounting bracket (see section 1 ).
The EPIRB is released by pulling out a R-clip.
The bulkhead bracket should be sited in plain view near an emergency
exit.
To avoid accidental activation if the EPIRB is removed from its
mounting, the bracket is in two sections. The removable collar section
contains the deactivating magnet for the EPIRB, so the demounted
EPIRB with its attached CARRYSAFE collar cannot be activated by
moisture. This allows it to be removed easily and transported in, for
example, a wet grab bag.
