Three different brackets are currently available for the Tron 40GPS. MB4 is the manual
bracket. FB4 and FBH4 are the automatic brackets. The manual bracket comes without
the hydrostatic release mechanism and is used to store the beacon inside the wheel-

WARNING:
DO NOT INSTALL THE EPIRB NEAR STRONG
MAGNETIC FIELDS THAT COULD ACTIVATE THE BEACON.
When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the float-free bracket, FB4, it will operate as an
automatic float free unit. Since the release of the EPIRB will be automatic it is impor-
tant to mount the bracket in a place where there are no obstacles that can endanger
the automatic release of the EPIRB.The location where the bracket is mounted should
be as high as possible on the vessel, and well protected from environmental conditions
such as direct sea-spray, chemicals, oil, exhaust and vibrations.The location must also
be easily accessible for testing and maintenance.

When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the MB4 bracket, it will operate as a manual unit.
This bracket is similar to the FB4 bracket but does not have the hydrostatic release
mechanism.This bracket is typically used to store the EPIRB inside the wheel house or
other protected areas of the ship.When the Tron 40GPS is mounted in the MB4
bracket, it must be manually removed before any operation can take place, therefore
the bracket should be mounted in an easily accessible place where it can be reached in
a hurry in case of an emergency.
