Kannad XS-4 Cat II

McMurdo Kannad XS-4 Cat II is a emergency position-indicating radio beacon. It is normally installed in an approved accessible position, commonly near the bridge or externally in a float-free mounting depending on category. Its primary purpose is to transmit a distress alert and vessel identification for search-and-rescue response. Compared with routine ship radios, an EPIRB is a dedicated emergency beacon intended for distress alerting and autonomous deployment or manual activation. The supplied record already contains the available concise model or rating information, so those existing figures are not duplicated here and no additional meaning is inferred from the model code. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
