Details:
No matter what kind of boating you do, accidents happen everyday on the water. When the situation turns from bad to worse, make sure you are prepared! Life saving technology is now readily available. Unleash the power of the RapidFix 406 MHz EPIRB with GPS interface and turn that life threatening situation into a successful rescue story.
Patented proprietary electronics deliver greater frequency stability for the most accurate position through the LEOSAR satellites.
This unit has improved GPS LED Infrared Interface (NMEA 0183) cable, visually confirm GPS download; GPS LAT/LON is sent on the very first burst, no waiting to acquire GPS coordinates. The GPS confirmation test is a full functional self test of internal circuitry and battery voltage test. The audio/visual indicators have active transmission and the unit floats upright with high visibility built-in strobe.
The 406 MHz EPIRB with GPS Interface is 17.5 x 6.25 x 5.5 in (44.5 x 15.4 x 14.0 cm) and made with high impact polycarbonate blend case / polyethylene bracket (RLB-33) only weighing 4.5 lbs.
The unit has automatically deployment when water depth is approximately 13ft (4 m) and begins transmitting and is waterproof up to 33 ft (10 m). The operational life is 48 hours at -40 degrees Celsius. The lithium battery has a 5-year replacement life (11-year storage life) and the unit has a 5 year limited warranty.
GPS interface-optical data Interface via infrared diode (NMEA 0183): New, flashing LED in GPS interface confirms data transmission from GPS; downloaded GPS coordinates confirmed by flashing LEDs within three seconds of completing self-test sequence
Patented proprietary electronics package for faster, more stable 406 frequency transmission; full functional self-test including battery voltage and internal circuitry
Fully enclosed, high density, UV stabilized polyethylene bracket hydrostatic release
Automatically deploys EPIRB if vessel sinks to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
Fastest means available of delivering GPS position
Field programmable built-in vessel code can be reprogrammed by an ACR Authorized Service Center worldwide (Maritime/Serialized/Radio Call Sign/MID Protocols, Country Code, etc.)
Lanyard coil retained with all around cover for non-tangling deployment
Universal usage illustrations; English and French languages
Worlds smallest 406 MHz EPIRB that meets all regulations and is fully approved worldwide
Built-in strobe for enhanced location in poor visibility conditions
Single, three-position switch for easy test and operation. Steady green LED indicates unit has passed full functional test, flashing red LED indicates unit is "ON"
