2. Manual release bracket
Manual release brackets are designed to hold the beacon securely in
place. The beacon must be manually deployed. The bracket can be
mounted on a vertical flat surface with beacon antenna up or on a
horizontal flat surface facing skyward. This location must be easily
accessible in order to manually deploy the beacon or to perform the
required maintenance and functionality tests. Typical locations include near
the helm station or just inside the companionway door.
The manual release bracket has four pre-drilled screw holes to use for
securing the bracket to a flat surface. Remove the beacon from the
bracket. To do this while holding the assembly, lift the latch to release
bracket pressure from the beacon. The beacon will slide up and out of the
bracket. On either side of the bracket are release tabs. Simultaneously
depress each tab to separate the bracket from the mounting block. The
mounting block can be held in place to mark the placement of the screw
holes or you can use the mounting template provided. The use of #8 pan
head stainless steel fasteners and washers (not included) is
recommended. Be sure to confirm that fasteners will not contact any wires
or plumbing before drilling pilot holes.
