Year: 2011 Language: english Author: Thrane & Thrane Genre: Manual Publisher: Thrane & Thrane Edition: 1st ISBN: 82-1073-002 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 36 Description: This Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is intended for carriage on SOLAS and non-SOLAS vessels. When carrying an EPIRB on board you enjoy the reassurance of a last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world. Only operate the EPIRB in situations of grave and imminent danger to life. False alerts endanger lives. Help prevent them by understanding how to look after the EPIRB. Cospas Sarsat system EPIRBs transmit a unique emergency message identifier via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system which can determine your location anywhere on the earth’s surface. In most cases the first emergency alert is received within 5 minutes of activation, depending on satellite coverage at the time this can sometimes extend to around 45 minutes. When the emergency alert message is received at a Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) it is cross referenced by the Unique Identifier Number (UIN) against user registration information. Details of the alert will be forwarded to the appropriate local Search and Rescue (SAR) teams. Keeping your vessels registration details up to date is critical to ensuring a quick SAR response. If you have purchased the GPS version, it has a built-in GPS receiver which can reduce the time for Search and Rescue teams to arrive on scene, as your precise coordinates are transmitted within the first few minutes. Non-GPS versions are pinpointed using Doppler Shift from the over-flying satellites. EPIRBs have a secondary or ‘homing’ transmitter which allows SAR teams to direction find or ‘home in’ on the EPIRB once they arrive on the scene. Once activated the EPIRB will continue to transmit emergency alerts for a minimum of 48 hours.

Cospas Sarsat system
EPIRBs transmit a unique emergency message identifier via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite
system which can determine your location anywhere on the earth’s surface. In most cases
the first emergency alert is received within 5 minutes of activation, depending on satellite
coverage at the time this can sometimes extend to around 45 minutes. When the
emergency alert message is received at a Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) it is cross
referenced by the Unique Identifier Number (UIN) against user registration information.
Details of the alert will be forwarded to the appropriate local Search and Rescue (SAR)
teams. Keeping your vessels registration details up to date is critical to ensuring a quick
SAR response. If you have purchased the GPS version, it has a built-in GPS receiver
which can reduce the time for Search and Rescue teams to arrive on scene, as your
precise coordinates are transmitted within the first few minutes. Non-GPS versions are
pinpointed using Doppler Shift from the over-flying satellites.
EPIRBs have a secondary or ‘homing’ transmitter which allows SAR teams to direction
find or ‘home in’ on the EPIRB once they arrive on the scene. Once activated the EPIRB
will continue to transmit emergency alerts for a minimum of 48 hours.
