Buclă de fixare baliză MOB1 pe vestă de salvare

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 correct deployment of the antenna and optimal transmission of AIS and ASN signals in the event of a 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 is generally secured 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 your PFD bladder. Simply snap the two parts of the fastener together to secure the beacon.

No, the mounting bracket is installed entirely by hand and does not require any specific tools. The clip system is designed for simple and quick assembly.

It is strongly recommended to visually inspect the integrity of the attachment loop during the annual inspection 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 against storing the MOB1 beacon freely in a pocket. Without its mounting loop, the beacon may not deploy automatically when the lifejacket inflates, which could compromise the transmission of your distress signal.

Once the part is clipped in, gently pull on the tag 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), which guarantees 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 have any doubts about positioning, it is advisable to seek advice from a service station during your lifejacket maintenance.

No, if installed correctly, the loop 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 specific mounting direction. You must ensure that the top 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 only one personal locator beacon. Adding multiple devices to the bladder could hinder 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 the loop's positioning does not obstruct the protective cover's folding.
