Servicing the SeaShelter3TM and the HydroFixTM HRU The SeaShelter3TM Category I bracket has two main pieces, the lid and the base. To open the bracket, turn the spring loaded knob counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn and pull. The lid will lift away from the top of the base and disengage from the detent at the bottom of the base. The lid is tethered to the base to help prevent loss. Brackets are a key part of the overall beacon system. They hold a beacon ready for deployment while preventing false alarms. Category I brackets also require replacement of the Hydrostatic Release Unit every two years. NOTE: Whenever a beacon is returned for service, it must be accompanied by the bracket. Y1-03-0233 Rev. D 23 To remove the expired HRU When opening the SeaShelter3TM lid, note that the beacon is installed with the lanyard face in. Pull the beacon with steady pressure from the bracket. Do not get beacon wet while out of bracket. The HRU has a keying feature that locks it to the bracket. If you view the HRU rod as the center of a clock, a properly installed HRU will rest at the 7 o'clock position, as shown in the picture above. WARNING: The HRU holds down an ejection spring. The spring must be held in place during the removal and installation of the HydroFixTM to prevent injury. This will relieve pressure on the HRU and allow it to be rotated counterclockwise to the 5 o'clock position. Slowly relieve pressure from the ejection spring and allow it to deploy. Failure to replace the entire assembly may cause the bracket to malfunction. WARNING: Be sure to use only ACR's HydroFixTM HRU (ACR P/N 9490) in the SeaShelter3TM. Use of unauthorized replacement parts will void your warranty and may cause the bracket to malfunction. Check the date of manufacture on the new HRU. [. . . ] A Product that is 12 or less years old from date of manufacture will be serviced as long as the unit appears fit to be placed back into its final operational cycle. Service includes the replacement of those items that must be replaced at service intervals and the verification that the device appears to be in good mechanical and electrical working condition by an ACR authorized service technician.
