When the vessel in distress and be going to sink, the VEP8A beacon can be release automatically from the device and launches 406MHz emergency distress signal, after the signal received by COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system,it will be transmitted to the shore-based terminal. LUT(local user terminal) can decode and analyze to show the location of the beacon, and give the information to RCC(rescue control centre) to provide emergency rescue operations.
VEP8A EPIRB is designed in accordance with the latest international standards.VEP8A' s integral 50 channels GPS receiver gives a typical positional accuracy of 30m, significantly reducing the normal search distance from Tokm distance.Added AlS locating transmitter to providetimely signals for self-rescue of own or adjacent ships.
