Product description
Tron 40VDR AIS is a combined float-free Cospas-Sarsat EPIRB, and storage
medium.
The main purpose of the EPIRB is to alarm the SAR authorities in a distress
situation. When activated the EPIRB will transmit a signal, which includes
the ID of the ship in distress and the position of the EPIRB. The strobe light
will start flashing in both visible and infrared light. See chapter 7.9 for more
details on the Cospas-Sarsat system.
Main parts of the Tron 40VDR AIS:
•
Tron 40VDR AIS EPIRB
•
FB-40 or FBH-40 Float-free bracket
•
VDR storage module
The EPIRB is buoyant and is equipped with a system that will activate
distress transmissions if it is deployed into water. The EPIRB will not be
activated if it is exposed to sea spray or rain when mounted in its bracket.
It has been developed to meet the regulations and rules for use on vessels
and life rafts in the maritime service. See the Declaration of Conformity
document at jotron.com for information on applicable standards.
