OCEAN SIGNAL EPIRB E100/E100G.

SafeSea EPIRBs operate in the 406MHz satellite band monitored by Cospas-Sarsat, the international satellite operator, ensuring a signal can be located wherever it is activated around the globe.

SafeSea EPIRBs are also fitted with a 121.5MHz homing beacon and a high brightness LED strobe light for fast on-scene location.

The SafeSea E100G EPIRB benefits from a dedicated built-in GPS which sends a highly accurate position, greatly reducing search time.

With the SafeSea battery operating life being the highest in the industry an Ocean Signal EPIRB keeps rescue services updated with your location for longer.

Battery provides massive four days (typ. 96hours) of operation instead of usual two days.

Separate double sealed battery pack.
