Emergency-Position-Indicating-Radio-Beacons

The updated version of the Epirb is according to the new IMO regulations MSC471(101):2019. Epirbs installed on or after 1 July 2023 should conform to new performence standards, which means Epirbs have to be equipt with AIS (Automatic-Identification-System).

Compared with existing EPIRB, there are some new features with new AIS EPIRB.
The main features are:
a. detectable by all types of night vision devices
b. be provided with a GNSS receiver for position fixes (Note: GPS not mandatory for old EPIRB)
c. be provided with AIS locating signal
d. be provided with some means to facilitate secure hands-free carriage (e.g. for transfer to a survival craft)

When supplying an Epirb it will be programmed with vessels name and MMSI code.

FEATURES:
- Designed to use for alert search and rescue service at sea. Confirming to IMO and IEC rules.
- Location accuracy within 10m, thanks to built-in GPS receiver used.
- Automatic release device activated underwater 4 meters.
- Self-protective device used to avoid possible false alarms.
- Self-test function applicable.
- Low-power-comsuption design applied to ensure 48+ hours continous operation.
- 406MHz transmission together with homing 121MHz.
- CCS type approval.
