ACR LINK MOB BEACON

Time is critical in a man overboard situation. It is alarming how quickly a visual sighting of a man overboard can be lost. Unlike a personal locator beacon, which signals orbiting search and rescue satellites, AISLink sends an alert message within seconds to all local vessels with an AIR receiver and/or AIS-enables plotter. You can also configured the AISLink MOB so that the BSC alarm on your vessel's VHF can be signaled by entering the vessel's DSV MMSI number.

The beacon also has an integrated high-intensity strobe light with accurate positioning even in low light conditions. Powerful lithium metal batteries provide 24+ hours of operational life, and the high-impact housing can withstand a drop to the water of 20m.

However, it is recommended that you check with your equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility. DSC functionality may vary - or be disabled entirely - according to the regulations of individual countries.
