Product description
The main purpose of the Tron 60AIS 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.
The main parts of the Tron 60AIS are:
•
Tron 60AIS EPIRB
•
FB-60 Float-free bracket or MB-60 Manual bracket
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
for information on applicable standards.
