E100

The Ocean Signal E100 is a 406 MHz emergency position-indicating radio beacon. It is normally installed externally near the bridge or survival-craft area in a manual or float-free mounting. It is designed for satellite distress alerting after abandonment or serious casualty. The operating principle relies on transmission of a registered distress identity and, where fitted, position/homing information. The supplied entry gives no additional verified capacity, pressure, power or dimensional figure for this model. Compared with neighbouring models, the relevant differences are Category I/II, float-free/manual mounting, GNSS and homing features; these must be confirmed from the installed documentation rather than inferred from the model designation alone. Service and survey attention should concentrate on registration, battery, self-test, casing/antenna, bracket and hydrostatic release where fitted. For exact ratings, dimensions, tolerances, test limits and model-specific settings, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
