Tron 70GPS RLS Cat II

Jotron Tron 70GPS RLS Cat II is identified in the source list as a epirb (406 mhz) category ii. It is stowed, mounted or worn at the emergency location appropriate to the approved beacon or transponder type so it can be activated or released as intended. Its purpose is to support distress alerting, survivor location or search-and-rescue detection according to the radio service identified by the equipment category. The source record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. Activation method, antenna arrangement, GNSS capability, float-free release and transmitted identity depend on the exact approved model. The exact model designation distinguishes radio function, activation arrangement and certification from neighboring emergency beacons or transponders; refer to the approval documentation for the exact capability.

Replacement Parts

Emergency beacons and transponders normally rely on approved replacement batteries, release units, brackets, straps or complete replacement units rather than informal onboard electronic repair. Carry only manufacturer-approved accessories and replacement components permitted by the certification. Maintain any statutory spare units according to the vessel's safety-equipment inventory.
