1. Locating the Beacon When the beacon is immersed in water it will begin to radiate an acoustic signal which can be received and transformed into an audible signal by the RJE International Inc PRS 275 DPR 275 or DTI 300 Acoustic Pinger Receivers The PRS 275 Pinger Receiver can be used as a shipboard portable receiver to determine the general vicinity of the aircraft flight recorder After the area is known a diver can be deployed with the DPR 275 which will give the exact location of the aircraft flight recorder Other equivalent pinger receivers may also be used Figure 1 4 Locating the Aircraft After Water Activation User s Manual February 2015 ELP 362D90 Underwater Locator Beacon 2 Specifications This section provides information on the operating and environmental specifications on the ELP 362D90 Underwater Locator Beacon General Specifications Specifications Operating Frequency Operating Depth Pulse Length Battery Kit Operating Life Battery Storage Life in Beacon Acoustic Output Acoustic Output After 90 Days Activation Beam Pattern Case Size Case Material Weight Storage Temperature Operating Temperature ELP 362D90 37 5 kHz 1 kHz 0 to 20 000 feet 6 096 meters 29ms P N B362 D90 01 Incl battery o ring lube amp inst 2 90 days 7 years 2 160 5 dB re 1 uPa 1 meter gt 157 0 1 uPa 1 meter Fresh or salt2. 84 months from date of shipment from RJE International Inc Purchaser s receipt of any product delivered hereunder shall be an unqualified acceptance of and a waiver by Purchaser of the right of Purchaser to make a claim with respect to such product unless Purchaser gives RJE International Inc notice of any claim within 84 months after the receipt of such product This warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the said product at RJE International Inc plant in Irvine California providing the product was not abused or operated other than in accordance with the RJE International Inc instruction manuals RJE International Inc does not assume responsibility for any damage due to leakage or implosion RJE International Inc reserves the right to modify its warranty at any time in its sole discretion THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY RJE INTERNATIONAL INC MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY REGARDING ITS PRODUCTS OR THE PRODUCTS OF OTHERS EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH EXCEEDS THE FORGOING WARRANTIES IS HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY RJE INTERNATIONAL INC AND EXCLUDED FROM ANY AGREEMENT MADE BY ACCEPTANCE OF ANY ORDER RJE INTERNATIONAL INC DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY BEYOND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH HEREIN INCLUDING ANY LIABILITY FOR PRODUCTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR USE OR FOR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA LOSS OF BUSINESS LOSS OF PROFITS LOSS OF USE O
