This mounting loop is an essential spare part designed to securely attach your Ocean Signal MOB1 distress beacon to the inflation system of your lifejacket.

It ensures the beacon remains attached to the lifejacket bladder during inflation. This allows proper deployment of the antenna and optimal transmission of AIS and ASN signals in case of a man overboard.

No, this bracket is specifically designed for the Ocean Signal MOB1 beacon. It is not suitable for other models such as the PLB1 or beacons from other brands.

The buckle is designed to fit the vast majority of inflatable lifejackets, whether automatic or manual. It typically secures safely around the oral inflation tube of the bladder.

The loop slides and clips directly around the oral inflation tube or the mounting strap provided for this purpose on the bladder of your lifejacket. Simply interlock the two parts of the mount to secure the beacon.

No, the mounting loop is installed entirely by hand and requires no specific tools. The clip system is designed for simple and quick assembly.

It is strongly recommended to visually inspect the integrity of the harness during the annual servicing of your lifejacket, or before undertaking a long offshore passage.

Although it is classified under an outdated nomenclature, this simply means it is intended for maintaining existing equipment. It remains fully essential and functional for keeping your current MOB1 beacon operational.

It is strongly discouraged to store the MOB1 beacon freely in a pocket. Without its mounting loop, the beacon may fail to deploy automatically when the lifejacket inflates, which would compromise the transmission of your distress signal.

Once the part is clipped in, pull very gently on the beacon to ensure it does not slide along the tube. The attachment must be firm and the beacon must remain flush against the bladder of the lifejacket without restricting its volume.

Yes, this is an Ocean Signal original spare part (reference OS-741S-01803), which guarantees perfect compatibility and maximum reliability with your safety equipment.

This product includes only the plastic mounting loop. The MOB1 distress beacon and the lifejacket are sold separately.

The installation can be done by yourself thanks to its intuitive mounting system. However, if you are unsure about the positioning, it is advisable to seek advice from a service station during your lifejacket maintenance.

No, if installed correctly, the buckle is designed with smooth, rounded edges to pose no risk of abrasion or puncture to the inflatable bladder of your lifejacket.

Yes, like all Ocean Signal marine safety equipment, this loop is made from robust polymers specifically designed to withstand the marine environment, salt, and UV rays.

The loop design requires a precise mounting direction. Ensure the upper part of the tag (where the antenna deploys) points upward toward your face once the lifejacket is inflated.

Yes, the mounting loop is compatible with most release systems, including Hammar-type hydrostatic systems. The loop is typically attached to the oral inflation tube, which is separate from the automatic trigger.

If you notice any crack, deformation, or weakness in the plastic, you must replace the loop immediately to avoid losing your beacon during a sea deployment.

No, a lifejacket is designed to accommodate a single personal locator beacon. Adding multiple devices to the bladder could interfere with proper inflation and buoyancy.

Integrating an MOB1 beacon with its original mounting is standard practice and does not interfere with the lifejacket's operation. Simply ensure the loop's position does not obstruct the protective cover from folding properly.
