Description
Add extra insurance to your inflatable PFD. Ocean Signal has years of experience making industry-leading personal locator beacons. The AIS Man Overboard Device (MOB1) sends an alert and a location to all surrounding vessels at first contact with the water. The first messages has latitude and longitude positioning. Once a GPS signal is connected, subsequent messages have a precise GPS fix (AIS and DSC). For non-man overboard emergencies, the MOB1 can be manually activated.
- Automatic activation sends alert within 15 seconds of hitting the water.
- Transmits MOB signal to AIS receivers and AIS enabled plotters in the area.
- Automatic Identification System (AIS) used to identify all area marine traffic, transmissions sent to nearby vessels greatly increase the signal reception.
- Integrated Digital Selective Caller (DSC) broadcasts on a dedicated VHF channel (ch. 70). Once programed, DSC transmissions let receivers know who, when and where the signal came from. Note – DSC is restricted in some regions, check your local regulations.
- MOB1 can be configured with vessel's DSC MMSI number by downloading free software (MMSI number can be updated as needed).
- Compact design installs on most inflatables and PFDs with the included bracket.
- Max 8km range (depending on conditions).
- Broadcasts SOS to surrounding ships, so there's no monthly fee.
- 66-channel GPS receiver pinpoints locations within metres.
- Battery lasts 7 years in storage, transmits for more than 24 hours at -20°C.
- Battery replacement available at Ocean Signal authorised battery replacement centres.
- Retractable antenna improves signal strength and deploys automatically.
- Hard-plastic cover prevents accidental activation.
- Cancel functionality for accidental activation.
- Test button for readiness checks.
- Bright white strobe (13 lumens) guides rescuers to your position.
- Waterproof to 10m.
- Includes: MOB1, mounting bracket, antenna rewind tool, programming adapter, protective cover, lanyard and documentation.
