Description
SmartFind G8+ AIS EPIRB – Auto The SmartFind G8 PLUS AIS EPIRB includes an AIS locating signal and an infrared (night-vision) optical signal to aid in the detection of survivors in low-light conditions. The McMurdo SmartFind G8 PLUS EPIRBs benefit from an AIS locating signal, visible to AIS receiver-equipped vessels in the vicinity, and an infrared (night-vision) optical signal to aid detection of survivors in low-light conditions. Infrared is detectable at greater range and in poorer conditions than standard EPIRB lights, therefore further accelerating recovery times. This is a rugged, multi-GNSS 406MHz satellite EPIRB with both GPS and Galileo receivers and a unique inbuilt AIS optimized for the MEOSAR system. Also, this EPIRB is supplied inside a float-free auto-housing that automatically deploys and activates when in contact with water (although it can also be manually activated).
