SE406-III RLS Cat II

Cobham SATCOM / Sailor SE406-III RLS Cat II is a shipboard unit in the EPIRB group, classified in the source as SART / EPIRB (406 MHz) Category II. It is normally installed on bridge wings, monkey island, survival-craft stations or personal equipment stowage according to beacon type. Its primary duty is to transmit a distress location or identification signal for search-and-rescue response. In service it interfaces with GNSS where fitted, AIS or satellite distress networks depending on device type, mounting bracket, hydrostatic release for automatic units and vessel registration data. Compared with neighboring entries in the same product family, this record is the exact Cobham SATCOM / Sailor SE406-III RLS Cat II variant; the model designation should be retained unchanged when matching onboard documentation and spares. For exact limits, settings, test values and approved maintenance criteria, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
