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 category 2 has a universal Low Pro2 bracket. Includes bulkhead and rail mount option.
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 3.7 x 7.2 x 4.3 in (9.4 x 18.3 x 10.9 cm) and made with high impact polycarbonate blend case only weighing 2 lbs.
The unit has manual deployment by lifting the switch up, slide left, push back and down fully, and break the tab. It 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 optical interface confirms data transmission from GPS; downloaded GPS coordinates confirmed by flashing LEDs within three seconds of completing self-test sequence
