EPIRB3 CAT2 MANUAL

Ocean Signal’s EPIRB3 is a 406MHz global distress beacon with a manual release bracket. The EPIRB3 is packed with features in a modern, compact design, including AIS technology that provides local responders with accurate and reliable location information for a person in distress, speeding up rescue efforts. Additionally, Return Link Service (RLS) provides the EPIRB sender with confirmation that their distress message has been received. The Near Field Communication (NFC) function allows you to use a smartphone application to monitor the EPIRB battery and other functions to ensure its correct operation. Complies with IMO RESOLUTION MSC.471(101) and GMDSSWhen ordering, you must provide the following data for programming the product. - MMSI code - Owner's general information - Flying flag - Vessel plate and name SPECIFICATIONS - 406 MHz transmitter - Transmission: Power (EIRP): 12W - Frequency: 406.031 MHz ±1KHz - Modulation: Phase ±1.1 radians (16K0G1D) - Coding: Two-phase L - Speed: 400 bps - AIS transmitter - Transmission power (EIRP): 1Watt±3dB - Frequency: 161.975/162.025MHz ±500Hz- Baud rate: 9600baud- Synchronization: UTC- Messages: Message 1 (location), Message 14 (status)- Repeat interval: 8 messages/minute - Message 14 sent twice every 4 minutes- 121.5MHz transmitter- Transmit power (PERP): 50mW±3dB- Frequency: 121.5MHz- Modulation cycle: >35- Modulation factor: 0.85 to 1.00- Frequency stability: ±50ppm- Duty cycle: >98%.- Visible strobe and night vision lights- Light type: High intensity LED and infrared (IR)- Light color: White and IR- Visible average intensity: >1 candela- Night vision average intensity: 15mW/sr- Flash rate: 24 per minute (nom.)Battery type- Type: Lithium Iron Disulfide (LiFeS2)- Operating Time: >48 hours at -20°C- GNSS Receiver- Satellite Channels: 72 acquisition channels- Sensitivity: -167dBm- Cold Start/Reacquisition: -148dBm / -160dBm- GNSS Antenna: Microstrip Patch
