GENERAL 1.1 Introduction The rescueME range of products provide the user with the latest technology specifically designed for compact size and ease of operation. The EPIRB1 is a Class 2, Category 2 Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) for manual release only. It is intended as a carry off EPIRB, but may also be used as a supplementary alerting device as specified in SOLAS regulations. 1.2 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy This product also complies with EN62479 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada). 1.3 Warnings It is a legal requirement to register your EPIRB with your National Authority. Only use your EPIRB in a situation of grave and imminent danger. Deliberately misusing your EPIRB or setting it off accidentally may result in prosecution and a fine. Your EPIRB contains small lithium batteries. Please see section #6.2 for information on safe transportation. The battery in your EPIRB should be replaced immediately if it has been activated, or if the test indicator shows the battery as ‘used’, or if the expiry date marked on the unit has been exceeded. Please read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow the guidance in this manual may result in loss of warranty. 1.4 Operating Mode Your EPIRB1 may be operated in a variety of modes. 1.4.1 Floating in water (a) This is the preferred method of operation. Ensure the EPIRB is firmly tied to the life raft or person before deployment. 1.4.2 On deck (b) When deploying the EPIRB on a deck, ensure it is vertical and clear of obstructions that might impede a clear view of the sky. 1.4.3 In a safety raft (c) The EPIRB may be deployed in a life-raft, where it should be held in a vertical position so that there is a clear view of the sky, preferably outside of the canopy. EPIRB1 User Manual 6Part No. 912S-01365 [ a ] Floating in water[b] Deployed on deck[ c ] Used in a liferaft 1.5 COSPAS/SARSAT System The COSPAS/SARSAT system utilises two satellite arrays to provide distress alert and location data to search and rescue authorities. The GEOSAR system can provide near immediate alerting within the coverage of the receiving satellite. The LEOSAR system provides coverage of the polar region beyond the range of the GEOSAR system. It can calculate the location of distress events using Doppler processing techniques and is less…

During stowage the EPIRB1 will be fitted in its manual release bracket which inhibits the water contacts. When released from the bracket the EPIRB1 is in standby mode with the water contacts enabled. The additional current the water contacts draw when enabled, but not activated is included in the stand by mode figure given in line 1. There are no other operating modes that draw peak currents higher than during the highlighted mode (line 5).

Category 3 is only allowed in these two markets and does not require automatic water activation. Therefore this variant of the EPIRB1 will be built as hardware number 900S-01528, omitting the water contacts. Because the water contacts are now omitted, the maximum current draw will be as specified in line 3, which is less than the maximum current draw specified for other variants.
