Beacon installation
3.2.1
The ThunderBird SSAS is shipped attached to its mounting bracket. Typically, the beacon must be
removed from the mounting bracket during installation. The beacon can be removed from the mounting
bracket as follows:
•
First disconnect the 2-Pin waterproof connector on the left side of the beacon.
•
Unbuckle the strap holding the beacon to the bracket.
The ThunderBird SSAS is intended to transmit covertly a security alert, notifying competent authorities
that the security of the vessel is under threat or has been compromised. A key component of the system is
its covert nature, which should be maintained as much as possible to protect the beacon from malicious
tampering. The ThunderBird SSAS is shipped in the "OFF" position. During the installation procedure,
leave the beacon in the "OFF" position to prevent false alarms.
