receiving antenna is at a height of 15 m (top of a
mast). SAR helicopter can locate the transmitter even
at distances of more than 40 nautical miles.
The easyRESCUE uses the standard AIS positions
report, which is also used by AIS Class A stations. That
means almost all AIS stations -commercial vessels
(Class A) and pleasure boats (Class B)- can receive
these messages and show the easyRESCUE on their
display.
The battery pack provides a capacity that ensures an
operation time of more than 96 h at -20°C, when
activated (at normal conditions it lasts longer).
This device maintains water tightness, not unduly
affected by seawater or oil and is resistant to sunlight.
It withstands drops from a height of 20 m into water.
The storage time of an easyRESCUE with new batteries
is 5 years.
The battery pack can be replaced only by an
authorized distributor. The reasons are that only he
has the industry battery package and that he replaces
some elements which provide the functionality (e.g.
seal).
