              Re; Jotron Float Free EPIRB brackets and Hydrostatic Release Mechanism/Unit (HRU)


              To meet the product approvals and obtain the safety for the crew on—board it is of great
              importance that only approved hydrostatic release units (HRU) is being used on any of Jotron‘s
              float free EPIRB (Emergency Position Identification Radio Beacon) brackets. The following text
              is therefore a guidance to whom it might concern:

              The water pressure activated automatic release mechanism, type Hammar H20 is currently the
              only hydrostatic release unit (HRU) approved by Jotron AS for use on Float Free EPIRB
              brackets type FB—3, FBH—3, FB—4, FBH—4, FB—5, FB—40 VDR and FB—60.
              Due to the special mechanical design on Jotron EPIRB brackets, the Hammar H20 under Jotron
              part.no X—97820 is only a component in a complete Jotron hydrostatic release unit kit (HRU—kit).

              A dedicated Jotron HRU—kit consist of special fitted and adjusted bolt, spacer, gasket and o—ring,
              label and the H20 hydrostatic release mechanism.

              The Jotron product part numbers on the Float free EPIRB bracket kit are;
              95135, 97821, 80414 and 86218.

              Currently, Hydrostatic Release Mechanism from other brands than the Swedish company CM
              Hammar, are not tested and approved by Jotron and will therefore deviate from Jotron AS
              product certifications.
