RESCUEME EPIRB1
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon
The rescueME range of products provide the user with the latest technology specifi cally designed for compact size and ease of operation. The EPIRB1 is an Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) for manual release only. It is intended as a carry off EPIRB, but may also be used as a supplementary alerting device as specifi ed in SOLAS regulations.
A simple protective tab over the operating keys prevents inadvertent activation, yet allows for easy operation when required. The RescueMe EPIRB1 also features two high brightness strobes to maximise visibility in low light conditions.
The retractable antenna provides maximum protection and a reduced outline for stowage. When required the antenna is easily deployed with a gentle pull.
The rescueME EPIRB1 provides peace of mind with impressive 10-year battery life. The world’s most compact EPIRB can always be on hand, as its small size allows it to be easily retained within its quick release bracket or placed in an emergency grab-bag or life raft.
The rescueME EPIRB1 featuring a ground breaking 30% reduction in size compared to other EPIRBs, the Category/Class 3 rescueME EPIRB1 provides the boat’s essential link to emergency services within the most easily accessible and convenient EPIRB available on the market. The rescueME EPIRB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service. When activated the rescueME EPIRB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location.
