Mobilarm V100 Overview
The Mobilarm V100 is a
fully automated Maritime
Survivor Locating Device
06/' GHVLJQHG VSHFL¿FDOO\
for the commercial marine
environment to ensure a quick,
effective rescue in a man
overboard emergency.
The Mobilarm V100 uses the
marine VHF radio band to
automatically transmit a man
overboard distress alert and
real-time coordinates of the person in the water to all VHF
DSC or VHF radio equipped vessels within range, including the
distressed mariner’s vessel.
The design, size and weight of the Mobilarm V100 means it can
be comfortably clipped onto webbing, life jacket or harness, or
carried in a pocket. For the device to transmit the emergency
message its antenna must be out of the water. The Mobilarm
V100 should therefore be worn at chest height not at waist
level.
Automatic Activation
The Mobilarm V100 is designed to be water-activated but it can
also be manually activated.
Automatic Distress Alert
Once activated, the Mobilarm V100 transmits a VHF DSC man
overboard distress alert to automatically notify all vessels in the
vicinity to the emergency.
