Other devices in commerce offer the same functions but operate at different 

frequencies.

Some   devices   in   commerce   have   similar   functions   but   use   different   frequencies,
particularly   frequencies   defined   within   CEPT   regulation   but   these   solutions   have   some

important  disadvantages:

they   work   on   frequencies   that   are   not   internationally   recognized   as   rescue
frequencies, and so they are not detectable by SAR services.

Generally they are devices that transmit continuously and it is possible to take the
“absence of signal” (proximity system). This solution limits the working area of the

device (10/20 meters).

It is not possible to trace out the position of the man overboard because the signal
is too weak and requests a specific receiving device (see problem with SAR).

Batteries must be replaced quite frequently. 

How do you install this device?

This equipment has been designed to be used with self-inflating jackets and it is normally
installed:

By using the rear flange for passing one of the fabric tapes that connect the self-
inflating jacket cover, or

By using the appropriate bracket that allows you to fix the MSLD device to the 
inflating mouthpiece, or

By using a jacket with a specific housing pocket.

Wamblee is able to offer IMO or SOLAS approved self-inflatable jackets specially crafted

for MSLDs of the W4XX series.

Is it a CE device?

Yes the device is CE Compliant according to the RED regulation. The W400 and W420 are
also FCC and IC approved

Can this device be used all over the world?

This device can be used in quite all European and Extra-European countries; further 

details can be found on the sticker of the packaging or on our website:
