The FastFind Crew1 AIS Man Overboard (MOB) device is designed to be carried by individual crewmembers and
used in the event of a Man Overboard situation or personal emergency. When activated it transmits an AIS MOB
message containing your position and ID via AIS (Automatic Identification System). The transmission will be
received by AIS equipped vessels within local radio range.
As the AIS MOB device includes an inbuilt GPS receiver, your current location is transmitted, dramatically
reducing the time taken to locate and increasing rescue capability even in poor visibility. FastFind Crew1 also
has a flashing white light to help rescuers pinpoint your precise location in the water.
The FastFind Crew1 is designed to be carried in the belt pouch provided. Alternatively, it can be fitted to
lifejackets using the clip options supplied, ready to be activated in the event of a man overboard situation. After
the lifejacket is inflated, pull the activation cord downwards, releasing the red cap and deploying the antenna.
Transmissions will start shortly after, and the light will flash. Crew1 can also be stored in a standby mode, ready
to automatically activate on contact with water.
2. Pull the activation tab off the Crew1 and the device
will start transmitting alert messages immediately
and the flashing light will operate.
2. When the water sensor embedded at the
bottom side of the device is immersed in water
for more than 3 seconds, the device will be
activated and starts transmission.
1. Pull off the red antenna cap to release the
antenna, leave the activation tab in situ, the device
is now ready in standby mode.
Caution:
when deploying
antenna, be careful
