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)
The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB1 is a very small personal locator beacon that transmits the distress alarm including the exact GPS position via Cospas-Sarsat (406 MHz).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.Would you like to use the PLB on different yachts or in a sea kayak? Then you can alternatively register the emergency transmitter in the UK using the device's own ID number. The number and details of the corresponding homepage are enclosed with the device. If you want the PLB without programming the MMSI, please indicate this under ‘Remarks’ in your order. The PLB1 can be easily attached to a lifejacket or belt using the bracket supplied, so that it is always ready for use. The emergency transmitter can be operated with just one hand. A cover protects the activation button and prevents accidental activation. The antenna is simply pulled out during use.The homing signal emitted on 121.5 kHz can be used by rescuers to locate the person in the water. The extremely bright LED flash light makes it easier to locate at night.Technical data:Frequencies: 406.040 MHz (satellite), 121.5 MHz (homing signal)Standards and approvals: COSPAS SARSAT T.001/T.007, ETSI EN302 152, RTCM SC11010,NSS-PLB11, IC RSS28766-channel GPS receiverBattery runtime: > 24 hours at -20° C (longer at higher temperatures)Working temperature: -20° C - +55° CDimensions: 77 mm x 51 mm x 32.5 mm (H x W x D)Weight: 116 g
The ACR ResQLink 400 View is an extra small PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) that fits in one hand and in any pocket. It has a 66-channel GPS receiver.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.Would you like to use the PLB on different yachts or in a sea kayak? Then you can alternatively register the emergency transmitter in the UK using the device's own ID number. The number and details of the corresponding homepage are enclosed with the device. If you want the PLB without programming the MMSI, please indicate this under ‘Remarks’ in your order. After activation in case of distress, the PLB alerts the worldwide available satellites of the COSPAS/SARSAT system on the frequency 406 MHz. Together with the distress message, the MMSI of the vessel and the exact position of the PLB are transmitted.This distress message is received by a ground station and passed on to the sea rescue centre of the disaster area, which initiates and coordinates the rescue operation. Alarmed rescue aircraft and ships are then guided to the scene of the accident via a VHF homing signal on 121.5 MHz. In addition, the buoyant PLB emits an LED (and infrared) strobe signal to aid location.Integrated 66-channel GPS/GALILEO receiver.Compatible with next generation satellites (MEOSAR).Powerful LED and infrared flash.Transmission time of at least 24 hours.Waterproof (to 5 m), buoyant, bright yellow polycarbonate housing.Transmitting power 5 watts.Coloured LEDs indicate successful signal transmission when activated.Lithium battery with 5-year replacement cycle (non-hazardous).Self-test functions.5-year warranty.Delivery includes various attachment clips to allow integration into lifejacket, backpack, jacket, etc.
The Ocean Signal rescueMe PLB3 is a very compact personal locator beacon. It transmits the emergency alarm including the exact GPS position via Cospas-Sarsat (406 MHz) and additionally via AIS. This way, as many potential rescuers as possible are informed that a person is in the water. This significantly increases the probability of a quick rescue.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.
