2. DESCRIPTION
SafeLink beacons are Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) Float Free version category 1
(SafeLink Auto) or non Float Free version category 2 (SafeLink Manual+). Both versions are fitted with a built-in GPS.
2.1. Container and mounting bracket description
The beacon is supplied either in an automatic container (A) for the Float Free version category 1, or with a wall
mounting bracket for the Non Float Free version category.
The container (A) is designed to protect the beacon and to ensure its automatic release in the event of a ship wreck
thanks to the HAMMAR H20 release system (1A). This container is also fitted with a locking pin (2A).
It is mounted either in horizontal position on the wheel house or deck of the vessel, or in vertical position against a
bulkhead or any vertical and flat surface (§ 6.2.1. Installation of container).
When installed in its container, a magnet avoids beacon activation (water, moisture)
The wall mounting bracket (B) is designed to be mounted vertically against a bulkhead or any vertical flat surface.
The mounting bracket is fitted with a locking pin (1B). When installed in its mounting bracket, a magnet avoids
beacon activation (water, moisture).
