EPIRB (406 MHz) Category I · EPIRB / SART
Ocean Signal E101V RLS Cat I is a epirb (406 mhz) category i. It is stowed, mounted or worn at the emergency location appropriate to the approved beacon or transponder type so it can be activated or released as intended. Its purpose is to support distress alerting, survivor location or search-and-rescue detection according to the radio service identified by the equipment category. Activation method, antenna arrangement, GNSS capability, float-free release and transmitted identity depend on the exact approved model. The exact model designation distinguishes radio function, activation arrangement and certification from neighboring emergency beacons or transponders; refer to the approval documentation for the exact capability.
What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect the housing, antenna, mounting, release mechanism and markings for damage or deterioration. Check battery and hydrostatic-release dates where those items form part of the approved unit and replace them only with approved components. Perform self-tests strictly according to the manufacturer instructions and avoid unintended distress transmissions. Verify programmed identity and registration information after replacement or servicing. Keep the unit accessible and correctly secured in its approved location. Refer to manufacturer and regulatory documentation for exact servicing, shore-maintenance and test requirements.
Emergency beacons and transponders normally rely on approved replacement batteries, release units, brackets, straps or complete replacement units rather than informal onboard electronic repair. Carry only manufacturer-approved accessories and replacement components permitted by the certification. Maintain any statutory spare units according to the vessel's safety-equipment inventory.
