GPS RECEIVER
GPS Receiver Type 48 channel
TTFF (Time to First Fix) 35 seconds (typical) with nominal GPS signal levels -130dBm
Subsequent GPS fixes Every five minutes for 30 mins; then every 10 mins until switched off or battery expires
VHF DSC AND AIS ALERTS
AIS Immediately after activation and every minute thereafter on AIS channels 1 and 2
Initial Open Loop DSC Alert After the initial AIS transmission when the device is activated
Subsequent Open Loop DSC Alerts Continuous open loop thereafter, or until DSC acknowledgement.
First DSC GPS data alert sent Usually within 30 secs after position acquired
* Expected range derived from sea trials. Actual alerting range dependent on sea state, atmospheric conditions and height/altitude of receiving antenna.
