EPIRB (406 MHz) · EPIRB / SART
Pains Wessex / McMurdo Pains Wessex McMurdo E8 — EPIRB / SART. As a SART / EPIRB (406 MHz), it is normally installed on or near the bridge and in survival-craft emergency equipment for rapid deployment during abandonment. In that role, its primary purpose is to help rescuers locate survival craft or persons after a distress event. Compared with an EPIRB, a SART or AIS-SART is principally a local locating aid for rescuers rather than the vessel's primary satellite distress-alerting beacon. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
