Description

MED / SOLAS approval (see "Downloads & Information" below).

COSPAS-SARSAT ocean beacon (EPIRB) from the British manufacturer OCEAN SIGNAL, which impresses with its very small size. Compared to its predecessor EPIRB 1, it is 30% smaller.

Before delivery, the MMSI of your vessel must be programmed into the EPIRB.

To do this, please select the initial programming (Article-No. 3957-000) under "Accessories" further down on this page. In the last step of the order process, you can enter the required ship data under "Remarks": Ship name, MMSI, IMO no., call sign, flag.

The EPIRB3 alerts via 406 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat), 121.5 MHz (Homing) and additionally via AIS (position report and MOB status) all vessels with AIS receivers in the vicinity. Using the different channels increases the chance of being found.

The RLS (Return Link Service) reports (in countries where it is permitted) with a blue LED that the distress call sent by the EPIRB has been received by the rescue coordination centre. This certainty is very reassuring in an emergency.

Using NFC (Near Field Communication) wireless communication, the activity history, battery status and programming information can be accessed via OceanSignal APP (iOS and Android) using a suitable smartphone.

The powerful strobe light (plus infrared) helps locate the victim at night and in poor visibility.

Floatable, yellow housing. Integrated, high-speed 72-channel GPS receiver (GPS / Galileo and Glonass compatible). Lithium-ion battery with ten-year replacement cycle. Run time of at least 48 hours (at -20 °C - longer at higher temperatures). Retractable antenna.

Category I, automatic activation: With FloatFree housing and hydrostatic release unit (HRU). If the yacht sinks, the EPIRB is shot out of the housing by the HRU at a depth of between 1.5 and 4 metres and automatically activated.

Dimensions:
In FloatFree housing H x W x D: 237 x 191 x 121 mm. Weight 1,252 g.
EPIRB H x W x D: 178 x 90 x 101 mm, antenna length 232 mm. Weight: 422 g.

First Coding EPIRB
Initial programming of a new device purchased from us!An EPIRB - and therefore also a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) - i.e. a COSPAS-SARSAT satellite radio beacon is generally subject to registration in Germany.Both EPIRBs and PLBs are registered on a ship-by-ship basis. This means that the MMSI of your own ship is programmed into the device, which - unlike with a radio - you cannot do yourself. Alternatively, the PLB can also be registered in the UK on a device/person basis.Therefore, please enter the required ship data in the last step of the order under "Remarks":Ship nameMMSIIMO no. (if available)Call signFlagYou can also send us a copy (e-mail attachment) of the first page of your Ship Station Licence (certificate of assignment).You will receive the corresponding coding certificate (including 15-digit HEX ID code, "protected message") with the device, which you submit to the Federal Network Agency, Hamburg field office.The form for the "Application for the allocation of numbers of the mobile maritime and inland waterway radio call sign, MMSI and ATIS for recreational navigation (SHIP STATION LICENCE)" is used for new applications and applications for amendments.You can find it here: www.bundesnetzagentur.deThe details of your EPIRB / PLB will then be stored with the ITU* and the MRCC** Bremen so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of an emergency at sea. For example, a telephone call can be made to a designated person on shore to check whether it may be a genuine emergency.* The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)** Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC)
