Zacisk mocujący boję MOB1 na kamizelce ratunkowej

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 when inflated. This allows correct deployment of the antenna and optimal transmission of AIS and ASN signals in case of man overboard.

No, this mount 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 loop 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 attachment strap provided for this purpose on your lifejacket bladder. Simply interlock the two parts of the attachment to secure the beacon.

No, the mounting bracket 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 fixing loop during the annual service of your lifejacket, or before starting a long offshore passage.

Although it is classified under an old 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 advised not to store the MOB1 beacon freely in a pocket. Without its mounting loop, the beacon may fail to deploy automatically when the lifejacket inflates, compromising the transmission of your distress signal.

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

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

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

The installation can easily 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's maintenance.

No, if installed correctly, the loop is designed with smooth, rounded edges to present 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 marine environments, salt, and UV rays.

The loop design requires a specific mounting direction. You must ensure that the upper part of the beacon (where the antenna deploys) points upward toward your face once the lifejacket is inflated.

Yes, the mount is compatible with most deployment systems, including hydrostatic systems such as Hammar. The loop typically attaches to the oral inflation tube, which is separate from the automatic striker.

If you notice any cracks, 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 impede proper inflation and buoyancy.

Integrating an MOB1 beacon with its original mount is standard practice and does not interfere with the lifejacket's operation. Simply ensure that the loop's positioning does not obstruct the folding of the protective cover.
