[. . . ] When replacing the HRU, ACR requires that you do not reuse any parts from the previous HRU. Failure to replace the entire assembly can cause the bracket to malfunction. Always use original ACR replacement parts (Replacement kit P/N 9490). Use of unauthorized replacement parts will void your warranty and may cause the bracket to malfunction. Place the beacon into the mounting bracket, (lanyard facing inward), and replace cover, securing in place with the cotter pin going through the hydrostatic release rod. 5 Y1-03-0157-2 Rev.

G 5. 3 Configuration Overview Category 1 beacons are designed to be automatically deployed and activated. The beacon may also be hand held on the deck of vessels, or floated in water and attached to a raft or life vest with the lanyard provided. Category 2 beacons are designed to be manually deployed from the bracket. The beacon is designed to operate best while floating in water. Hand held operation should be avoided when possible. Do not operate inside life raft or under any similar cover or canopy. Use the lanyard to attach beacon to life raft or person after deployment. Caution - Do not attach lanyard to bracket or vessel. Both models of the beacon can be deployed and activated manually. Changes in the laws governing beacons have mandated that the beacon be ready at all times. If certain criteria are met, the beacon will begin transmitting. The beacon is equipped with sensors to determine if it is in water (a deployment condition). Category 1 and 2 brackets both contain a magnet that interacts with other sensors in the beacon to prevent activation if it is wet (also a deployment condition). Two conditions must be satisfied for the beacon to automatically activate: 1) 2) It must be out of its bracket It must be in the water Note: Either condition by itself will not automatically activate the beacon.
