(Until the green LED starts to ash) 1 2 3 The EPIRB1 Pro will now be operational. The strobe lights will begin to ash at a rate of once every 2.5 seconds as soon as the unit is activated. For best performance it is important that the EPIRB1 Pro is in an upright position with a clear view of the sky and as far away from any metallic structures as is possible. The EPIRB1 Pro contains a GPS receiver, ensure that the GPS antenna is not obstructed and has a complete, unobstructed view of the sky as indicated on the top of the EPIRB1 Pro. A lanyard is provided to tether the EPIRB1 Pro to the lifeboat or life raft to ensure that it does not drift away. Make sure this is rmly attached. 14 912S-03403-01.01 06/03/2020 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 5.1.3 EPIRB1 Pro Automatic Operation The EPIRB1 Pro will sense when it has been placed in water and automatically begin to operate after a short delay, in the same manner as described above.

If the EPIRB1 Pro is mounted in the oat free housing this function is disabled until the EPIRB1 Pro has been released. If the EPIRB1 Pro is mounted in the oat free housing in the event that the vessel sinks the EPIRB1 Pro will automatically be ejected from the housing allowing it to oat to the surface and begin transmission.

The homing beacon is not activated until the rst 406MHz alert is sent. 5.2 Deactivation 5.2.1 Deactivation if Manually Activated If the EPIRB1 Pro has been inadvertently activated or the emergency situation has passed, it can be turned off simply by pressing and holding for 2 seconds the TEST key. It is not possible for the user to replace the red protective cover. Return the EPIRB1 Pro to an Ocean Signal authorised service centre for checking and replacement. 5.2.2 Deactivation if Automatically Activated If the EPIRB1 Pro was automatically activated by placing in water, remove from the water and dry. The EPIRB1 Pro will automatically switch off after approximately 30 seconds. Should the EPIRB1 Pro fail to deactivate, bend the antenna down and completely wrap in several layers of aluminium foil , or place in a metal container with a tight tting lid. 06/03/2020 912S-03403-01.01 15 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 6. FALSE ALERTS False alerts are a serious problem - they cause valuable resources to be diverted away from real emergency situations. If a false alert is initiated, by any means, it is important to contact the nearest search and rescue authority and inform them of the false alert. Report the following information:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. EPIRB1 Pro UIN. Date, time and duration. Cause of activation. Location when the alert was activated. Location at time of deactivation. If the EPIRB1 Pro was activated by mistake then turn it off. The rst emergency trans-

mission will not occur for approximately 50 seconds, if the unit is turned off within this time then EPIRB1 Pro will not have sent an emergency distress. The EPIRB1 Pro is tted with water activation contacts. Although the oat free housing is designed to prevent accidental activation in heavy seas and adverse weather conditions, if the EPIRB1 Pro is not correctly tted in its housing it is possible that this may cause a false alert situation If the unit has been dropped into the water then remove from the water and dry the case, wait approximately 30 seconds for the water contacts to de-activate. If the unit is still ashing after this period, check that the unit has not been manually activated; if so then follow the procedure to manually switch the EPIRB1 Pro off. Once EPIRB1 Pro is switched off, it is advisable to carry out a self test before replacing the EPIRB1 Pro into the oat free housing. Should the EPIRB1 Pro fail to deactivate, bend the antenna down and completely wrap in several layers of aluminium foil , or place in a metal container with a tight tting lid. 7. TESTING Routine testing of your EPIRB1 Pro is recommended to ensure it is in good working order if needed in an emergency. Monthly testing is recommended, but remember that each test will reduce the battery capacity slightly and reduce the operating time of your EPIRB1 Pro during an emergency. 16 912S-03403-01.01 06/03/2020 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 7.1 Beacon Test

! Ensure the antenna is free and above the EPIRB1 Pro before commencing the test. Fold the antenna back behind the EPIRB1 Pro as you replace it in the housing.

! Because the test transmits a short burst on the aircraft distress frequency of 121.5MHz, please only carry out this test in the rst ve minutes of each hour.

It is recommended to test your EPIRB1 Pro once a month.

! The amber test result indicates the battery has been used for over one hour or the recommended number of tests has been exceeded. The EPIRB1 Pro will still operate normally in distress, but the battery should be replaced to ensure the full operating life when your EPIRB1 Pro is needed. To test your EPIRB1 Pro is functioning correctly, press and hold the TEST key for at least one second. The red LED will come on to indicate the switch is depressed, followed by the red LED ashing rapidly, indicating test mode is activated. The switch may now be released. The strobe light will ash once (indicating that the 406 and 121.5MHz signal has been transmitted). After a short pause, the indicator LED will produce a ash sequence:

Green/Amber Red Indicator Indicator Status No. of Flashes Test Passed No. of Hours Used Failure Type 1 Flash 121.5MHz homer 0 to 1hr (Green) 1 to 2hrs (Amber) 2 Flashes 2 to 4hrs (Amber) 406MHz generation 3 Flashes 4 to 6hrs (Amber) 406MHz power 4 Flashes 6 to 8hrs (Amber) Faulty battery 5 Flashes 8 to 10hrs (Amber) Other failure 6 Flashes Over 10hrs (Amber)

! This ash sequence is repeated a second time after a short delay and then the EPIRB1 Pro will automatically turn off. The number of green/amber ashes in each group indicates the number of hours the battery has been used for as shown in the table. 06/03/2020 912S-03403-01.01 17 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 7.2 GPS Test

! As testing the GPS receiver expends signi cant amounts of battery energy, do not test the GPS operation more than once a year. Testing the GPS receiver is limited to 12 tests over the lifetime of the battery, after this the GPS test will fail to activate.

! This test must only be performed where the EPIRB1 Pro has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky. This is required to allow the GPS receiver to acquire a signal from suf cient satellites to allow it to determine a position. Make sure the area marked GPS Antenna is not obstructed. Press and hold the TEST key. The LED will illuminate red to indicate the key has been pressed, then start ashing. After approximately ten seconds the LED will cease ashing and become a steady red light. The TEST key can now be released. Note:

If the TEST key is released before ten seconds, the EPIRB1 Pro will enter the beacon test mode. During the GPS test the LED will repeat a long red ash followed by a short green ash until either a position x is obtained or the GPS test fails. A successful test will be indicated by the strobe ashing and the green LED ashing. The number of green ashes indicates one more than the number of GPS tests remaining (e.g. 8 ashes = 7 tests remaining). The unit automatically turns off after the test indication. If after ve minutes the GPS receiver has not received a position, a failure will be indicated by the red LED ashing after which the unit will turn off. The test can be ended at any time by holding the ON key for one second or by holding the TEST key for ve seconds 18 912S-03403-01.01 06/03/2020 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 8. 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 receiving satellite. alerting within the coverage of the 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 susceptible to obstructions which could block a signal in a given direction. The system is comprised of instruments on board the satellites which detect the signals from the distress beacons. Ground receiving stations, referred to as Local Users Terminals

(LUTs) receive and process the satellite downlink signal to generate the distress alerts. The distress alerts, generated by the LUTs, are then received by Mission Control Centres

(MCCs) which then forward the alert to Rescue Co-ordination Centres (RCCs), Search and Rescue Points of Contacts (SPOCs) and other MCCs. 06/03/2020 912S-03403-01.01 19 EPIRB1 Pro USER MANUAL 9. APPENDIX 9.1 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Your EPIRB1 Pro will require little maintenance except periodic cleaning, if required. Always use a damp cloth to clean the case and dry thoroughly. Do not use solvents or other cleaning uids as this may cause the plastics to deteriorate. Ensure the antenna is free to unwind.

! There are no user serviceable parts inside the EPIRB1 Pro 9.2 Batteries The EPIRB1 Pro contains Lithium batteries for long operating life. Your battery must be replaced either after the expiry date or after the EPIRB1 Pro has been activated, even if only for a short period of time. Battery replacement must be done at an Ocean Signal authorised battery replacement centre. All Lithium batteries self discharge slowly over time at a rate that is related to temper-

ature. Maximum performance of the battery is achieved with long term storage at an average temperature of no greater than 20C. 9.3 Transport When shipping your EPIRB1 Pro the following guidance and regulations should be followed, but you are advised to contact your nearest battery replacement centre or Ocean Signal prior to shipping as regulations may have changed.
