Zestaw bezpieczeństwa morskiego PLB3 (PLB3 + EPIRB3 + torba transportowa)

This complete kit includes a PLB3 personal locator beacon, an EPIRB3 deck-mounted beacon with its manual mounting bracket, and a durable carry-all bag for easy transport of your safety equipment.

The EPIRB3 is a vessel-mounted beacon designed to be mounted on a bulkhead and alert rescue services in case of abandoning the boat. The PLB3 is a compact personal locator beacon that attaches to your lifejacket to protect you individually, particularly in case of man-overboard.

The RLS (Return Link Service) is a technology that provides a visual confirmation (usually via a blue LED) that your distress signal has been successfully received by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite network and that your position has been transmitted to rescue centers.

Yes, both the PLB3 and EPIRB3 integrate AIS technology. When activated, they broadcast a local alert to nearby vessels equipped with AIS receivers, enabling immediate location tracking on their chartplotters and significantly accelerating nearby rescue operations.

No, the use of the global satellite search and rescue network Cospas-Sarsat is completely free. No monthly or annual subscription is required for your PLB3 and EPIRB3 beacons to transmit an alert.

Yes, it is strictly mandatory to register your distress beacons with the competent authorities in your country (such as the ANFR in France). This free registration allows rescue services to access your vessel’s information and your emergency contacts in case of activation.

Both tags are equipped with NFC technology. Simply bring your NFC-compatible smartphone close to the tag and use the free Ocean Signal app to check battery status, test history, and operational diagnostics.

The EPIRB3 comes with a manual mounting bracket (Category II). It must be installed vertically on a clear bulkhead, inside or outside the vessel, in a location that is easily and quickly accessible in an emergency to allow manual release of the beacon.

The PLB3 comes with specific mounting clips. It can be easily attached to the strap of your lifejacket or directly to the oral inflation tube, ensuring it stays with you in case of a man overboard.

No, this kit includes the EPIRB3 with a Category II bracket. This means the activation is manual: you must remove the beacon from its bracket and activate it yourself, or throw it into the water so its seawater contacts activate it automatically.

The PLB3 is activated manually. However, if it is correctly installed on an automatic inflatable lifejacket with the provided triggering system, the inflation of the lifejacket can cause the antenna to deploy and the beacon to activate.

The 121.5 MHz frequency is a homing signal. Once rescue teams have reached your area using the GPS coordinates transmitted by satellite, this radio signal enables helicopters and rescue vessels to locate you with extreme precision during the final approach.

No, the EPIRB3 and PLB3 are equipped with multi-constellation GNSS receivers. They simultaneously use the GPS (American), Galileo (European), and Glonass (Russian) satellite networks to ensure global positioning with meter-level accuracy and ultra-fast response.

The AIS distress signal emitted by your beacons will be visible to all surrounding vessels equipped with an AIS receiver and a compatible multifunction display or chartplotter, which represents the majority of commercial ships and many recreational boats today.

Yes, these safety devices are designed for the most extreme marine environments. The PLB3 and EPIRB3 are fully waterproof and capable of withstanding prolonged immersion, ensuring they remain operational even in harsh conditions.

In case of accidental activation, it is critical to deactivate the beacon immediately by following the manual's instructions. You must then urgently contact the search and rescue coordination center (CROSS in France) via VHF or phone to cancel the false alarm.

Yes, the lithium battery in the PLB3 PLB is generally accepted in the cabin or hold by most airlines, as its lithium content complies with civil aviation standards. However, it is recommended to check with your airline before departure.

The app is compatible with the vast majority of recent smartphones running iOS (Apple) and Android. Your phone simply needs to be equipped with NFC functionality to communicate with the tags.

Yes, the EPIRB3 is designed to float vertically on the water's surface. Its integrated marine contacts allow it to automatically activate as soon as it is submerged and detached from its bracket.

The grab bag is designed to gather and protect your essential survival gear (EPIRB, flares, water, handheld VHF, etc.). In case of an emergency abandonment of the vessel, it allows you to carry all your safety equipment in one move to the liferaft.
