VEP8A COSPAS-SARSAT GMDSS EPIRB with AIS

GMDSS   EPIRB   with AIS   

Model :  VEP8A

Product Overview

When the vessel in distress and be going to sink, the VEP8A beacon can be release automatically from the device and launches 406MHZ emergency distress signal, after the signal received by COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system, it will be transmitted to the shore-based terminal, local user terminal can decode and analyze to show the location of the beacon, and give the information to RCC ( Rescue control center ) to provide emergency rescue operations.

VEP8A EPIRB is designed in accordance with the lasted international standards, VEP8A’s integral 50 channels GPS receiver give a typical positional accuracy of 30m, significantly reducing the normal search distance from 10km distance. Added AIS locating transmitter to provide timely signals for self-rescue of own or adjacent ships.

Function:

VEP8A  Can be activated automatically or manually when ships in distress. Then the emergency signal of 406MHZ for help will be transmitted and forwarded to the search and rescue center by satellite. The Search and rescue center will carry out the emergency rescue plan according to the received signal.
