Therefore increasing the speed and accuracy of locating your position on the water.
EPIRB Activation Options
Manual Activation EPIRBs: The unit comes in a SafeTransfer bracket which prevents accidental activation of the water switches. This needs to be removed and the unit submerged to activate. Moreover, users can lift the red tab and activate directly. In addition, the manual EPIRB is considered the crews’ emergency beacon and travels with the crew on to the liferaft.
- SmartTransfer Bracket
- Magnet deactivates sea contacts during transport
- Prevents unwanted activations
- Best to mount on bulkheads in clear view near emergency exit
Automatic Activation EPIRBs: The unit is in cased in a Auto-house containing a Hydrostatic Release Unit which activates when the vessel is submerged, releasing the water activated EPIRB. Moreover the Auto EPIRB is thought of as the vessel’s emergency beacon. However, customers need to purchase the Hydrostatic Release Unit seperately.
