Installation
The W420(LP) Personal AIS Beacon device has been designed to be worn by
the user. The device can be worn over clothing by passing the silicone rubber
antenna lead around the neck and then connecting the end terminal of the
antenna in its support.
The device can also be installed directly on a self-inflating life-jacket by
passing a Velcro strip through the rear fixing stirrup (9) and attaching the
antenna along the life-jacket, again behind the user's neck (10). For this type
of installation please consult the life-jacket manufacturer.
Operation
EN
Before wearing the device it is recommended that you proceed with a test of
your W420(LP) Personal AIS Beacon to ensure it is working properly; test
procedures are described in the Periodic check section of the manual.
How to "arm" your W420(LP) Personal AIS Beacon
To ensure your device is ready for activation the knob (1) must be set to the
'ARMED' position.
Press the pushbutton (2) inwards to release the safety lock. Then, keeping
the pushbutton pressed, rotate the knob anticlockwise until it reaches the
'ARMED' position, then release the pushbutton (2).
As of this moment your W420(LP) is ready to be activated in the event of an
emergency.
Automatic activation
If your device accidentally falls in the water it will, on coming into contact
with the water, start working within approximately 3 – 5 seconds. The 'sea
sensors' are located on the rear of your device (3) and must be externally
accessible; keeping your W420(LP) Personal AIS Beacon in a waterproof
pocket or in a zone inaccessible to water will prevent its activation.
Activation of your W420(LP) Personal AIS Beacon will be indicated by:
•
A red light inside the flash lens (4) (only W420 version)
•
A beep emitted for 2 seconds at the moment of activation
