Ocean Signal EPIRB1 Key Features:

Activation

Category 2 beacons such as the Ocean Signal EPIRB1 require manual deployment for activation in the event of a vessel sinking. Simply release this EPIRB1 from the bracket on your vessel, extend the antenna and press the ON put. This EPIRB will also activate when immersed in water (not available in Australia and New Zealand)

 

GPS Transmission

Upon initiation of a distress call, the Ocean Signal EPIRB1 built-in GPS will fix your position to within a few meters and then utilizes a powerful 406 MHz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. When triggered, the EPIRB1 broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. This is typically within 5 minutes, but can be up to 45 minutes depending on satellite coverage.

An additional feature is the 121.5 MHz secondary homing transmitter which means that once Search and Rescue teams have been deployed, they are able to home in on your exact location. 

 

Coverage

EPIRBs have been proven, tried and tested in some of the world's most remote locations and treacherous conditions. Even in extreme conditions and situations, the Ocean Signal EPIRB1 activates easily.

 

Subscription Free

Unlike most satellite enabled notification devices, the Ocean Signal EPIRB1 requires no monthly or annual subscription, making it one of the most cost effective GPS enabled emergency beacons available for long term use. The EPIRB1 does not rely on commercial call centres, meaning your request for help is received directly by Search and Rescue authorities. 

 

Strobe Light

This Ocean Signal EPIRB1 features two high brightness strobes to increase visibility in low light conditions.

 

Operation and Battery Life 

Once an emergency request has been initiated, the Ocean Signal EPIRB1 offers a minimum 48hr continuous operation and a 10-year battery storage life. The battery must also be replaced if the EPIRB has been activated. 

  

Registration

Registering your Ocean Signal EPIRB is required by law in most countries. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. In the absence of this information, it may take longer for a search-and-rescue operation to begin.

Once you have received your programmed EPIRB, the owner is required to register their PLB with the Cospas Sarsat website to add their device to the International Beacon Registration Database (IBRD). To register your device, you must provide your unique Beacon HEX ID number, which can be found on your EPIRB and box. Use the links below to register your device:
