Page 7: Section 3 - False Alarms
SECTION 3 – FALSE ALARMS Prevention of False Alarms An ACR 406 MHz EPIRB can be activated in an emergency by two different methods. Whether you have a Category I or 2, these methods are the same. When the beacon is out of its bracket and in the water, the unit will start transmitting. -

Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) The ACR HydroFix™ HRU has an expiration date of 2 years from the date of installation or 4 years from the date manufactured, whichever comes first. Upon installing your beacon or new HRU, permanently scratch the new expiration date on the HRU date calendar (as seen below). -

Page 12: Configuration Overview
Configuration Overview Category I beacons are designed to be automatically deployed and activated. The beacon may also be hand held on the deck of vessels, or floated in water and attached to a raft or life vest with the lanyard provided. Category II beacons are designed to be manually deployed from the bracket. -

ON position: OFF position: Notice the Note the Activation Activation Indicator Indicator Plastic Pin Plastic Pin has been broken off. Figure 6 NOTE: Some countries may fine vessel owners for causing false alarms. The permanent breakage of the Activation Indicator Plastic Pin is a positive indication of a manual activation. Manual Activation without Deployment The beacon can be activated while still in its bracket by placing the thumb switch in the ON position. -
Page 14: External Gps Interface: Rapidfix™ Only
If the thumb switch is accidentally or inadvertently put in the vertical or test position (not in the OFF or ON position), the beacon would still be turned ON and will drain the battery. It is very unlikely that this would happen, however, if this should occur, the beacon will sound a beep once per second and will alternately flash the red and green LEDs at a rate of one per second until the beacon is turned OFF. -

The Maritime Safety Committee approved guidelines for shore-based maintenance of satellite beacons, for the purpose of establishing standardized procedures and minimum levels of service for the testing and maintenance of satellite beacons. First Shore Based Maintenance on all ACR EPIRBs is due at the date of the first battery replacement. -

The LUT processes the Doppler-shifted signal from the LEOSAR and determines the location of the beacon, then the LUT relays the position of the distress to a Mission Control Center (MCC) where the distress alert and location information is immediately forwarded to an appropriate Rescue Coordination Center (RCC). The RCC dispatches Search and Rescue (SAR) forces. -
