Navigációs biztonsági készlet EPIRB3 (tartószatyor + EPIRB3)

This maritime safety kit includes:

A third-generation distress beacon (EPIRB3). A grab bag to store your survival gear. A manual mounting bracket for the beacon.

The grab bag is designed to gather all your emergency equipment in one place. In case of abandoning ship, it allows you to quickly take the EPIRB beacon, a portable VHF, survival rations, water, and distress flares to your liferaft.

The battery of the EPIRB3 distress beacon has an exceptional lifespan of 10 years. This ensures long-term peace of mind without having to worry about frequent replacement.

The RLS (Return Link Service) is a feature that confirms your distress signal has been received and your position is known to rescue services. A flashing blue light on the beacon visually indicates this confirmation.

The EPIRB3 integrates an AIS transmitter (Automatic Identification System). When activated, it broadcasts a distress signal with your exact GPS position to nearby vessels equipped with AIS receivers. This allows nearby boats to intervene much faster, even before official rescue services arrive.

NFC (Near Field Communication) technology allows you to interact with the beacon using just your smartphone. Via the free Ocean Signal app, you can quickly and easily check the battery status, self-test results, and the beacon's history.

The EPIRB3 beacon uses three layers of communication to maximize your chances of rescue:

406 MHz: Global alert via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network. 121.5 MHz: Homing signal to guide rescue teams in the final approach. AIS: Local alert for nearby vessels.

The EPIRB3 represents a major evolution compared to the EPIRB1. It integrates three new critical technologies: AIS for local alert, RLS for signal reception confirmation, and NFC for smartphone diagnostics, while maintaining an ultra-compact format.

No, no subscription is required. The use of the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite network for distress signal transmission is a fully free international public service.

Yes, the EPIRB3 is equipped with a multi-constellation GNSS receiver (GPS, Galileo, Glonass). This allows for extremely precise position calculation and instant transmission to search and rescue services.

The EPIRB3 beacon provided in this kit is equipped with a manual bracket. It can be triggered manually by pressing the dedicated button, or automatically upon contact with water once it has been removed from its mounting bracket.

The manual mount must be fixed to a vertical bulkhead inside the vessel, in a location easily accessible in an emergency (near the companionway or chart table). Ensure it is protected from the elements and direct impacts.

Yes, it is mandatory. You must register your AIS transponder with the competent authority in your country (such as the ANFR in France). This registration links the transponder’s unique identifier (UIN) to your vessel details and emergency contacts, which is critical for search and rescue operations.

The free Ocean Signal app is compatible with most recent iOS and Android smartphones. Your phone simply needs to be equipped with an enabled NFC (Near Field Communication) reader to communicate with the beacon.

Yes, the distress signal from the AIS EPIRB3 is standardized. It will appear as a specific distress icon on all chartplotters and multifunction displays connected to an AIS receiver, whether on your own vessel or nearby vessels.

Absolutely. Thanks to its ultra-compact format and full-featured technology, the EPIRB3 is perfectly suited to all types of vessels: sailboats, powerboats, sport fishing boats, or commercial vessels requiring high-end safety equipment.

No, the battery cannot be replaced by the user. To ensure the watertightness and proper functioning of this lifesaving equipment, the battery must be replaced by an Ocean Signal authorized service center after 10 years.

Yes, the EPIRB3 is equipped with strobe lights (flashing lights) that are visible and infrared. These powerful lights greatly facilitate your location by search and rescue teams, day or night, even with night vision binoculars.

Yes, the EPIRB3 beacon is fully waterproof and buoyant. It is designed to remain on the water's surface in an upright position to ensure optimal signal transmission to satellites and nearby vessels.

The tote bag included in this kit is made from robust materials resistant to splashes and the marine environment. It is designed to float and protect your critical equipment when transferring between your boat and the liferaft.
