Detailed description

La balisa EPIRB3 Pro cat.1 classe 2 d'Ocean Signal representa una evolució important en matèria de seguretat marítima. Equipada amb un contenidor d’alliberament automàtic, combina la transmissió per satèl·lit Cospas-Sarsat a 406 MHz (12 W) amb la tecnologia AIS (1 W) per alertar simultàniament els centres de rescat globals i els vaixells propers. La integració del servei RLS (Return Link Service) ofereix una confirmació visual que el senyal de perill s’ha rebut correctament, proporcionant tranquil·litat en situacions d’emergència.

Tecnologia avançada i connectivitat NFC

Dotada d’un receptor GNSS de 72 canals, aquesta balisa garanteix una adquisició de posició ultraràpida. La innovació principal rau en la seva connectivitat NFC, que permet als usuaris consultar l’estat de la balisa, l’històric de proves i la capacitat de la bateria directament mitjançant una aplicació mòbil Android. A diferència dels models de la generació anterior com l’EPIRB1, l’EPIRB3 Pro integra l’AIS per a una localització immediata en els traçadors de cartes dels vaixells de la zona. El seu senyal de radioguia a 121,5 MHz (50 mW) facilita l’aproximació final de les equips de recerca.

Disseny robust per a l’alliberament automàtic (categoria 1)

Dissenyada per a entorns marins més hostils, la balisa és de classe 2, assegurant un funcionament òptim entre -20°C i +55°C amb una autonomia superior a 48 hores gràcies a la seva bateria de liti (LiFeS2). El contenidor de categoria 1 (237 x 191 x 121 mm) allibera automàticament la balisa a una profunditat màxima de 4 metres en cas de naufragi. Amb un pes total de 1252 g (422 g per a l’EPIRB sola) i una estanquitat garantida fins a 10 metres durant 1 hora, està homologada MED i Cospas-Sarsat. El seu disseny de muntatge està pensat per facilitar el reemplaçament, oferint compatibilitat amb els forats dels antics suports McMurdo E5-G5 o Jotron Tron 60S.

Expert review

Pol CONIN

Responsable digital

« The ultimate combination of satellite and local AIS alert »

The Ocean Signal EPIRB3 Pro beacon redefines offshore safety standards by combining global Cospas-Sarsat alerting and local AIS alerting. As installers, we particularly appreciate the automatic Category 1 hydrostatic release container, whose mechanism reliably deploys at a depth of 4 meters. The addition of the RLS provides a significant psychological advantage for the crew, while the NFC diagnostic feature greatly simplifies preventive maintenance without risking false alerts. Furthermore, its installation footprint allows direct replacement on the templates of older competing models such as the McMurdo E5 or Jotron Tron 60S, significantly reducing refit time on the helm deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the EPIRB3 Pro category 1 beacon?

It is an automatic-release maritime distress beacon. It combines:

406 MHz transmission (Cospas-Sarsat)AIS to alert nearby vesselsRLS to confirm signal reception

What is the difference between a Category 1 and Category 2 beacon?

Category 1 means the beacon is equipped with an automatic release mechanism. In the event of a shipwreck, the container opens and automatically releases the beacon at a maximum depth of 4 meters.

What is the RLS function used for on this beacon?

The RLS (Return Link Service) feature provides visual confirmation that your distress signal has been received by global rescue centers. This offers crucial psychological reassurance in emergency situations.

How does the NFC connectivity of the EPIRB3 Pro work?

With NFC technology, you can simply bring an Android smartphone close to the beacon. Using a dedicated app, you can view:

The beacon's general statusThe history of completed testsThe remaining battery capacity

What is the battery's autonomy when triggered?

The lithium battery (LiFeS2) guarantees over 48 hours of continuous operation, even in extreme conditions at -20°C.

Can I replace the beacon battery myself?

No, it is strictly inadvisable to replace the batteries yourself. The operation must be performed by a certified professional to ensure the watertight integrity and proper functioning of the device.

What is the purpose of the integrated AIS signal in the EPIRB3 Pro?

The AIS (Automatic Identification System) transmits a 1 W local alert signal. This signal is displayed directly on the chartplotters of nearby vessels, significantly speeding up rescue operations in the area.

What is the role of the 121.5 MHz frequency?

The 121.5 MHz frequency is a homing signal (50 mW). It allows search and rescue teams (helicopters, rescue vessels) to precisely locate the beacon during their final approach.

Is the beacon waterproof?

Yes, the EPIRB3 Pro beacon is fully waterproof. It is designed to withstand immersion up to 10 meters deep for 1 hour.

What are the dimensions and weight of the unit?

Physical specifications are as follows:

Container dimensions: 237 x 191 x 121 mmWeight of beacon alone: 422 gTotal weight (with container): 1252 g

Where should I install the automatic release housing on my boat?

The housing must be installed in an unobstructed area on deck. There must be no obstruction above it to allow the beacon to float freely to the surface and have a clear view of the sky for GNSS signal in case of a man-overboard situation.

Is the EPIRB3 Pro bracket compatible with older models?

Yes, the mounting template is designed for easy replacement. It is compatible with the drilled holes of several older brackets, including the E100/G, McMurdo E5-G5, and Jotron Tron 60S models.

What operating temperatures does this beacon support?

As a Class 2 beacon, it is designed to operate optimally in extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +55°C.

How does the beacon obtain my GPS position?

It is equipped with a 72-channel GNSS receiver. This cutting-edge geolocation system enables ultra-fast and highly accurate acquisition of your position to transmit it immediately to emergency services.

What is the estimated lifespan of the beacon?

The estimated lifespan of the EPIRB and its bracket is more than 10 years, provided regular maintenance and battery replacement at the indicated expiry dates.

What happens if the tag is stored at very high temperatures?

Prolonged storage at very high temperatures can reduce battery life. It is recommended to stay within the specified storage temperature range, which is from -30°C to +70°C.

At what depth does the automatic release trigger?

The automatic release mechanism for the container (Category 1) triggers autonomously when the vessel sinks and reaches a maximum depth of 4 meters.

Should the beacon be tested regularly?

Yes, regular testing is recommended. The beacon performs self-tests to check the battery, 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz frequencies, AIS signal, and GNSS acquisition.

Which mobile app should I use to read NFC data?

To read the information from the tag via NFC, you must install the official Ocean Signal mobile application, which is available for smartphones running Android.
