Bulkhead bracket installation
When selecting a suitable mounting position consider:
• Ease of access in an emergency
• Position at least 1 metre from compass equipment
• Environmental protection
• Allow clearance above so that the AIS SART can be easily removed from the
bulkhead bracket.
Mounting procedure
Fix the mounting bracket to the ships bulkhead using marine grade stainless steel screws or
bolts; length is dependent upon application. Bolts should be secured with either stainless
steel locking nuts or stainless steel nuts with stainless steel shake proof washers.
The bulkhead bracket is designed to mount on a flat surface using three fixing points. Three
stainless steel screws 25mm in length are included. Check that the rear side of the
mounting surface is clear and that the fixing screws will not penetrate equipment fitted on
this surface. Offer the bracket into the chosen position and mark through the mounting slots
using the bracket as a template.
Drop the AIS SART stowage bag over the bracket; push the bag firmly into place.
Stowage options
The Stowage bag provides additional protection for the AIS SART if you intend to keep it in
a carry off ‘safety ditch bag‘or when transporting it from place to place.
