4.Category II bracket

Category II brackets are designed to hold the beacon securely in place. The beacon must be manually deployed. The bracket can be mounted on a vertical flat surface with beacon antenna up or on a horizontal flat surface facing skyward. This location must be easily accessible in order to manually deploy the beacon or to perform the required maintenance and functionality tests. Typical locations include near the helm station or just inside the companionway door.

The LowPro3™ Category II bracket has four pre-drilled screw holes to use for securing the bracket to a flat surface. Remove the beacon from the bracket. To do this while holding the assembly, lift the latch to release bracket pressure from the beacon. The beacon will slide up and out of the bracket. On either side of the bracket are release tabs. Simultaneously depress each tab to separate the bracket from the mounting block. The mounting block can be held in place to mark the placement of the screw holes or you can use the mounting template provided. The use of #8 pan head stainless steel fasteners and washers (not included) is recommended. Be sure to confirm that fasteners will not contact any wires or plumbing before drilling pilot holes.
