SmartFind G8 EPIRB

SmartFind E8 - the highlights of the new EPIRB:

EPIRB with three SAR (search and rescue) frequencies: the SmartFind G8 AIS supports alerting, locating, tracking and rescue:
- 406 MHz: emergency frequency of the global COSPAS-SARSAT rescue system
- 121.5 MHz: homing frequency used by airborne rescue units
- GNSS: precise GPS coordinates through reception from 72 satellites (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS)
10-year battery life (storage)
Battery can be replaced by the user
EPIRB activation manually and automatically on contact with water
Faster emergency detection via the 406 MHz frequency thanks to MEOSAR compatibility

Recommendation - 1 test per month over 10 years. Long tests twice a year over 10 years. Carry out long tests under open sky. Obstacles increase the time required for GPS position determination, reducing battery life. Long tests should also only be carried out if the function of the GNSS receiver appears questionable.
Warranty is 1 year from the date of purchase, plus an additional 4 years upon registration with McMurdo. An additional 1 year is granted with the 5-year safety check.

McMurdo recommends the 5-year safety check. Shore-based maintenance, battery checks or replacement should be carried out in accordance with the flag state administration and should not exceed 5 years.

Programming:

Each EPIRB must be programmed with the MMSI of the vessel on which it provides safety coverage. Until further notice, we will carry out the programming for you free of charge. For this, we require the allocation certificate showing the MMSI. We will contact you after your order, or you can send us the certificate directly by e-mail (scanned) after placing your order.
