This ETS comprises the relevant requirements of the Radio Regulations l 1, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Resolutions A.658(16) 3, A.661(16) 4), A.662(16) 151, A.689(17) 6, A.694(17) 7, A.702(17) 8, ITU-R Recommendation M.632-2 9, and Regulation IV-7.1.6 of the
29、1988 amendments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention 2). This ETS covers the following categories of satellite EPIRBs and release mechanism: - satellite EPIRB with position updating from the ships navigational installation and with an integral 9 GHz radar transponder: - satellite EPIRB with position updatin
30、g from an integral facility for automatic position updating; - addaionally, the satellite EPIRB may include a 121,5 MHz homing transmitter. To further meet the requirements of Regulation IV subclauses 10.1.4.3 and 10.2.3.2.2 of the 1988 amendments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention 2, with regard to remot
31、e activation for both categories, an additional remote control unit for remote activation and for feeding the satellite EPIRB with “nature of distress“ information is specified. 2 Normative references This European Telecommunication Standard ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions

43、ife at Sea 4 General requirements 4.1 Scope The manufacturer shall declare that compliance to the requirements of clause 4 is achieved and shall provide relevant documentation. ETSI ETS*300*372 96 3400855 0307323 329 Page 11 ETS 300 372: May 1996 4.2 Operating conditions The satellite EPIRB shall be
44、 mounted in a release mechanism (see clause 8) which automatically releases the satellite EPIRB when submerged in water. When so released, the satellite EPIRB shall float to the surface and start transmitting automatically, irrespective of the setting of any controls. The satellite EPIRB shall be de
45、signed to operate when floating in the sea but shall also operate satisfactorily on board a ship and in a survival craft. The general construction and method of operation shall provide a high degree of proof against inadvertent operation, whilst still providing a simple means of operation in an emer
46、gency. The satellite EPIRB shall be capable of being carried by one person, shall be designed as one integral unit and shall incorporate a permanently attached antenna. If the satellite EPIRB is designed to be powered from the ships power supply when activated while still in the release mechanism, t
47、here shall be an automatic switch-over to the internal battery if the ships power supply fails. After release it shall derive its energy from a battery forming a part of the equipment. 4.3 Remote control The satellite EPIRB may be operated also from a remote control. From the remote control it shall
48、 be possible to: - activate the satellite EPIRB from a dedicated distress button which shall be clearly identified and be protected against inadvertent operation. The distress alert initiation shall require at least two independent actions. The status of a distress alert transmission shall be indica
49、ted on the remote control panel; - interrupt and initiate distress alerts at any time; - insert nature-of-distress information; - check the satellite EPIRB as specified in subclause 4.1 1.3. 4.4 Accessories The satellite EPIRB shall include either: - an integral facility for position updating; or - a 9 GHz radar transponder; or - both. These accessories shall fulfil the relevant requirements of the appropriate standard. The satellite EPIRB may also include a 121,5 MHz homing transmitter. If a 1215 MHz transmitter is included, it shall fulfil the re
