8 BULKHEAD BRACKET
INSTALLATION
8.1 Siting
The bulkhead bracket should ideally be sited in plain view near an
emergency exit. When choosing a suitable mounting position you
should also consider:
• Ease of access in an emergency.
• Mount at least 1 metre (3') from any compass equipment.
• If there is any likelihood of the EPIRB being replaced in its
bracket after activation then ensure that the antenna has as clear
a view of the sky as possible.
8.2 Mounting procedure
The bulkhead bracket is supplied with four stainless steel screws
25 mm (1'') in length. The bracket mounts against a flat surface using 4
fixing points. Offer the bracket into the chosen position and mark
through the mounting slots and drill 3 mm (1/8'') holes.
