The AIS Alarm from Ocean Signal ensures that every AIS MOB or AIS SART activation immediately triggers an 87 dB audible alarm.Thanks to its simple design, compact housing and NMEA-0183 connection, the AIS Alarm can be quickly connected to an existing NMEA-0183 network or to an AIS receiver.Up to 30 device IDs of AIS SARTs (974ff) or AIS MOBs (972ff) can be stored (USB cable, free software). This allows an alarm to be assigned precisely. The internal relay allows the AIS alarm to be connected to an external siren or to the ignition of the engine for automatic switch-off.The AIS Alarm from Ocean Signal is waterproof and can be installed outdoors. The power supply is 12 V (10.8 V - 15.6 V DC). Flush or bracket mountingWaterproof (for outdoor mounting)Programmable with up to 30 individual device IDsNMEA-0183 input (38,400 baud)Power and USB cable includedSoftware for programming available online free of chargeRecognises AIS SART and AIS MOB devicesDifferent tones for recognising the stored devicesAlarms for all received or specific targetsNMEA input and output (pass-through port) for easy integration into the network

The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB2 is currently the smallest AIS MOB transmitter on the market that complies with the standard for AIS Man Over Board devices (AIS MOB standard IEC63269:2022) and has been certified accordingly . The standard (ECDIS 63269 IEC 2022) from January 1, 2021 states that all AIS MOB devices with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) must also have a DSC receiver. In addition, all automatic mechanisms must be able to be switched off. The sale of AIS MOB devices that do not comply with this standard is prohibited.The MOB2 can be easily integrated into any automatic lifejacket and is automatically activated when the lifejacket is deployed. The first alarm is sent after 15 seconds. The integrated dual LED flash light (white and infrared) ensures that the person who has fallen overboard is clearly visible even at night.Immediately after activating the MOB2, a DSC alarm sounds on your own ship - if you have previously stored the MMSI of the radio in the emergency transmitter. This programming is possible with an NFC (Near Field Communication) compatible smartphone and the free app. The app also offers a GPS test, a self-test and the option to check the maintenance intervals. The AIS signal provides the exact GPS position on AIS-compatible chart plotters that are within VHF range of the transmitter. The "person overboard" is displayed accordingly.Technical data:Frequencies: 161.975/162.025 (AIS), 156.525 (DSC)Battery life: > 24 hours at -20° COperating temperature: -20° C - +55° CWeight: 92 gDimensions: 134 mm x 38 mm x 27 mm (H x W x D)Standards and approvals: RTCM SC11901, EN303 098-1 AIS (Automatic Identification System)Integrated DSC transceiver (Digital Selective Call)*Class M (European regulation ECC/DEC/(22)02)The LED indicates whether the DSC alarm has been receivedEasy attachment to the automatic lifejacketAutomatic activation when the lifejacket is inflated5 year battery life> 12 hours operating timeNFC (Near Field Communication)5 year warranty66-channel GPS receiver (GPS and Galileo)Waterproof up to 20 m* The use and function of DSC is subject to the legislation of the respective country.

Personal emergency transmitter that can be worn in its neoprene pocket in the lifejacket or on the oilskin. The sMRT ALERT MOB can be activated both manually and fully automatically (by contact with water). Once activated, the DSC distress signal is sent automatically to alert nearby vessels to the person who has gone overboard. The activation of the MOB and the transmission of the DSC signal are indicated by an acoustic signal and a strong flashing of the strobe LED. The position of the MOB is transmitted in real time via AIS. GPS and Galileo signals are combined for this purpose.As soon as the DSC distress call is received by a ship, a confirmation is sent to the MOB. The DSC alarm is then deactivated for all other ships. The position of the MOB is still transmitted via AIS.In the event of a false alarm, there is a delete option to cancel false activations. The sMRT beacon management app can be used with an NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled smartphone.

Accessories for WEATHERDOCK easyONE-/easy2-MOB distress beacon.The refit kit (B113) consists of a 3 mm Allen key and two release tablets for the automatic release in the emergency transmitter. With these, your easyONE or easy2 MOB can be made ready for use again after contact with water.The tablet for automatic triggering must be replaced after water contact. In order to guarantee its functionality at all times, it should also be replaced at least once a year, as it ages.The holder (B126) ensures that the easy2-MOB or easyONE-MOB is always within reach on board.The red holder made of impact-resistant plastic with a gripping part made of rubber-like, flexible plastic can be screwed onto the companionway or the chart table, for example, so that the emergency transmitter is quickly within reach in an emergency and is not forgotten. The holder is weatherproof and can be screwed or glued on, depending on the surface. Dimensions: 8 x 8 x 3.5 cm.

Accessories for WEATHERDOCK easyRESCUE AIS-SART / MOB distress beacon.The neoprene pocket (B066) holds an easyRescue AIS-SART / MOB. It can be fastened around the arm with a Velcro fastener, for example, to keep the emergency transmitter within easy reach.The stick-on pocket (B114) is required to add an easyRescue AIS-SART / MOB to an automatic lifejacket (which is not prepared for this). The pocket ensures that the AIS-SART is optimally aligned to transmit properly after the lifejacket has been inflated.

The easy2-MOB from the German manufacturer Weatherdock is a small man overboard beacon (MOB) with DSC and AIS alerting.The easy2-MOB was developed for recreational boating, but is also used by the Spanish customs and border police Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera, for example. The technology is the same as in the easyRESCUE AIS-SART, except for the slightly lower transmission power, which means that MED/SOLAS approval is not required.The easy2-MOB is simply packed "upside down" between the folded float of the automatic lifejacket and knotted to a loop or D-ring of the vest using the safety line. The outer shell only needs to be opened slightly for this. No special attachment is required, which means that the MOB can be used in all standard lifejackets. To activate the automatic release, the yellow slider is pushed to the "armed" position.Using a Bluetooth connection, up to eight MMSI numbers (of your own ship and of ships sailing in the same area) can be stored in the device using a smartphone and the free Weatherdock app (iOS11, Android6 or higher). The app also offers a test and alarm history with date, time and position.In a person-overboard situation, the lifejacket inflates on contact with the water. The easy2-MOB floats next to the swimmer and is activated automatically (manual activation is also possible). After a few seconds, the first transmission is made to the ships whose MMSI is programmed in. The unit ID of the AIS-MOB is transmitted first, as the device has not yet determined a position. In this "close loop" step, the crews of the programmed ships are made aware of the dangerous situation. As soon as the position has been determined, they are informed again.Parallel to the DSC transmission, an AIS distress message is sent as soon as the position has been determined. This can be received by any ship with an AIS receiver within a radius of up to 7 nautical miles. The transmitted position data is updated every minute and resent together with information on course and speed over ground.If the "closed loop distress call" is not acknowledged by one of the programmed ships within ten minutes of the alarm being raised, the easy2-MOB automatically switches to the "open loop distress call" and sends a distress signal to all ships. This allows the distress call to reach a coastal station and trigger a rescue operation there. The easy2-MOB can receive confirmation of the distress call, which leads to further DSC transmissions being switched off.Six powerful red LEDs ensure that the MOB can also be used as an electronic torch. This makes it much easier to find the person in the water, especially at night.

The release tablet in the MOB should also be replaced at least once a year.

MED / SOLAS approval.The easyRESCUE family of the German manufacturer WEATHERDOCK is allowed to carry the designation AIS-SART (Search and Rescue Transmitter). The world's only AIS distress transmitters with MED / SOLAS approval have a higher transmission power than a MOB (Man overboard beacon), namely >2 W for AIS, >0.5 W for DSC distress call and 50 mW for the 121.5 MHz bearing signal. Thus, their signals are received up to ten nautical miles (with high AIS receiving antenna over 20 nm) away.The housing of the units is extremely robust and reliable. They can withstand multiple impacts from a height of 20 metres onto the water surface, cope with enormous temperature fluctuations and still function at less than -20°C.The small AIS SART updates the position of the person in distress every 60 seconds and transmits the AIS messages 1 (Position report - dynamic dates) and 14 (Safety related message). The activated AIS SART is displayed with a red cross in a circle (the symbol according to IEC62288) on the ships' chart plotters within up to ten nautical miles.With the PRO models, the DSC distress call is initially made in the "closed loop" to up to 8 ships whose MMSI numbers have been programmed in advance via Bluetooth using the free Weatherdock app. If there is no confirmation within ten minutes, there is an automatic switch to the "open loop" and an "all ships call" is sent as an official distress call to the GMDSS rescue chain.There are five different easyRESCUE AIS-SART models, which differ in how they are triggered (manually, by water contact, by pull cord and magnetic switch) and over which frequencies (AIS, DSC, 121.5 MHz homing) they alert (see table).The easyRESCUE A040-BW-COM is used by the German, Dutch and other navies as well as by the Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK) of the German Bundeswehr.The easyRESCUE A040-PRO (BT) model is used by German and Dutch rescue organisations as well as offshore wind farm personnel. It is mandatory for French single-handed fishermen.The easyRESCUE PRO3 was developed for demanding sailors as an alternative to the PLB (Personal Locator Beacon, Cospas/Sarsat). In addition to AIS and DSC, a 121.5 MHz signal is transmitted. Over the North Sea and Baltic Sea, older SAR helicopters are still used, which do not have an on-board AIS and therefore prefer this "homing" frequency for finding a person in the water. The easyRESCUE PRO3 is the first choice especially for sailors who are on the move on changing yachts, because the problem of the MMSI of a vessel stored in the PLB is eliminated.Explosion-proof "ATEX" variants of the easyRESCUE AIS-SARTs are available especially for use on oil platforms, jetties and LNG vessels. Please feel free to ask us about this if required.Features:AIS Seach-and-Rescue Transmitter (more powerful MOB with MED / SOLAS approval)96 h transmission time after activation at -20°C (longer at higher temperatures)Release function (depending on model): manual, by water contact, by rip cord and magnetic switchIndividual identification number of the unitTransmitting range up to 10 nm (depending on wave height and receiving antenna height)Transmitting power >2 W for AIS, >0.5 W for DSC distress call and 50 mW for 121.5 MHz bearing signalintegrated, high-speed GPS receiverBattery life >10 years (without commissioning, self-test only).

This ensures that the antenna of the device is in an upright position when the person who has fallen overboard is floating in the water with the life jacket. Lifejacket manufacturers Secumar (models Scout, Survival, Alpha), Mullion, Besto and Viking have automatic lifejackets that are prepared to accept an easyRESCUE AIS-SART.For use in automatic waistcoats from other manufacturers such as Kadematic, Lade, ISP, etc., the stick-on pocket (Art-No. 3921-114) is required as an accessory. Only in this position is the easyRESCUE's antenna optimally aligned for transmitting the emergency signal. This is not the case when the easyRESCUE is floating in water. You will find the pocket further down on this page under "Accessories".For use as an AIS-SART in the life raft, we recommend attaching the neoprene bag (Art-No. 3921-066) to a telescopic pole to increase the antenna height. An inexpensive telescopic boat hook (Art-No. 3221-161), which you can find further down on this page under "Accessories", is suitable for this purpose.
