EPIRB-2 RLS Cat I
Furuno EPIRB-2 RLS Cat I is identified in the source list as a EPIRB (406 MHz) Category I. It is stowed or mounted at the vessel location specified by the approved safety-equipment plan so it can be accessed or released as intended during an emergency. Its purpose is to support distress alerting, survivor location or search-and-rescue detection according to the beacon or transponder type identified in the category. The existing database record provides no additional model-specific operating figure beyond the listed designation and category. The exact radio frequencies, activation method, GNSS capability, float-free arrangement and certification depend on the model and approval category. The exact model and category identify activation method, radio service and certification; operational capability must be verified from the approval documentation rather than assumed from a similar-looking unit.
