Cobham 404065A-00500 SAILOR 4065 EPIRB - Manual
An EPIRB is used to alert search and rescue services in the event of an emergency. It does this by transmitting a coded message on the 406 MHz distress frequency via satellite and earth stations to the nearest rescue coordination centre. Some EPIRBs also have built-in GPS which enables the rescue services to accurately locate you to +/- 50 metres. 406 MHz EPIRBs work with the Cospas-Sarsat polar orbiting satellite system, giving true global coverage. There is an alert delay of about 45 minutes dependant on when the satellites come into view on the horizon with the current LEOSAR and GEOSAR constellations. With the new MEOSAR constellation which is currently being installed, the goal will be to get instantaneous detection. The MEOSAR constellation is up and running with the full system working by 2021.
Satellite 406MHz EPIRB incl. manual bracket.
