1. Safety Information
1.1 Pressure Case
As with any sealed pressure case, the contents could be
under pressure due to a battery or seal failure. This could
expel the batteries when either end cap of the case is
removed.
To be safe, always point the end being opened away from
you during opening. The end caps are designed to vent
internal pressure as they are being removed.
If venting is heard during end cap removal, stop removal
until venting has stopped.
If a battery is trapped in the case take extreme care, there
could be a pressure buildup behind it and the battery
could be expelled at any time.

2. Introduction
The iBCN is a self-contained submersible Iridium/GPS
Satellite Beacon designed to assist in the location and
recovery of underwater oceanographic equipment.
There are two models of the iBCN available depending on
the depth requirements.
Model Number
Description
MMI-513-00000
Iridium Beacon, 7500m
MMI-613-00000
Iridium Beacon, 12000m
The standard model, iBCN, may be submerged for long
periods to depths of 7500 meters (24,600ft) while the
iBCN Infinity may be submerged to depths of 12000
meters (39,360ft).
The iBCN may be configured to not attempt transmission
when submerged to conserve battery power.
Conductivity water sense and GPS satellite checks are the
configurable methods available to determine
submergence.
The iBCN may be disabled by attaching a magnet to the
indicated location on the head assembly for extended
power savings. At the surface the iBCN transmits its GPS
position at a pre-configured interval.
There are various power options available for the iBCN
to accommodate various mission life and size
requirements.
