]]> Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 Personal AIS Man Overboard Beacon

The Ocean Signal rescueME MOB1 is a compact personal AIS man overboard beacon designed for installation inside most inflatable lifejackets. When properly installed, inflation of the lifejacket automatically deploys the antenna and activates the beacon, allowing the first emergency transmission to begin within approximately 15 seconds.

Once activated, the MOB1 uses its integrated GPS receiver to determine the wearer’s position and broadcasts an AIS man overboard alert to compatible AIS receivers and AIS-enabled chartplotters aboard the parent vessel and other nearby vessels. This allows the crew to quickly identify the emergency, view the person’s location, and track their position during recovery efforts.

AIS and DSC Man Overboard Alerting

The MOB1 transmits on both international AIS frequencies using a 1-watt AIS signal. The alert appears on compatible marine electronics as an AIS man overboard target, providing position information that can help guide the vessel back to the person in the water.

An integrated Digital Selective Calling transmitter can also send an alert to a compatible DSC-equipped marine VHF radio. The vessel’s MMSI number can be programmed into the MOB1, allowing the beacon to trigger an audible DSC alarm aboard the parent vessel. DSC functionality may vary depending on the country, radio model, and age of the installed VHF equipment.

A high-intensity flashing strobe light improves visibility during nighttime recoveries, poor weather, and reduced visibility conditions. The beacon can provide an effective range of up to approximately 5 miles, although actual performance will depend on antenna height, sea conditions, surrounding vessels, and other environmental factors.

Designed for Inflatable Lifejackets

The MOB1 is approximately 30% smaller than many competing AIS man overboard devices and is designed to fit inside even compact inflatable lifejackets. The included mounting system secures the beacon near the lifejacket’s oral inflation tube.

When the lifejacket inflates, the activation tape releases the antenna and automatically switches on the beacon. The MOB1 can also be manually activated when necessary. Always consult the lifejacket manufacturer before installation and follow the Ocean Signal mounting instructions carefully. Proper placement and arming are important for reliable automatic deployment without interfering with lifejacket inflation.

Compact, Durable and Ready for Emergency Use

The Ocean Signal MOB1 measures approximately 134 x 38 x 27 mm and weighs only 92 grams. It is waterproof to a depth of 10 meters and is designed to operate in temperatures from -20°C to +55°C.

The integrated battery provides more than 24 hours of typical operating life and has a seven-year storage life. At extreme temperatures of -20°C, the beacon provides more than 12 hours of operating life.

The MOB1 transmits AIS position reports on 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz and transmits DSC alerts on 156.525 MHz, VHF Channel 70. The beacon complies with RTCM SC11901 and EN 303 098-1 standards.

MMSI Programming and Equipment Compatibility

Each MOB1 is factory programmed with a permanent AIS man overboard identity beginning with 972. This AIS identity is unique to the beacon and cannot be changed.

The vessel’s standard nine-digit MMSI number can be programmed separately into the MOB1 for DSC alerting. This vessel MMSI can be updated if the beacon is later transferred to another boat.

Most modern AIS receivers, AIS-enabled multifunction displays, and DSC-equipped marine VHF radios support the transmissions used by the MOB1. Compatibility should be confirmed with the electronics manufacturer, particularly when the vessel has an older chartplotter or DSC radio.

Important Safety and Regulatory Information

The MOB1 is a short-range AIS man overboard locating device and is not an EPIRB or Personal Locator Beacon. It does not transmit through the Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue network and should not be considered a replacement for an EPIRB or PLB when worldwide satellite distress alerting is required.

DSC functions and AIS man overboard regulations vary by country. Some European countries have implemented newer AIS Class M requirements that may restrict use of the MOB1. Customers planning to use the beacon outside the United States should verify current regulations for their country and operating area before purchase.

]]> ResQLink AIS GPS Personal Location Beacon PLB-450 with AIS & RLS

A world leader in rescue devices and other life-saving products relied on by both professional and recreational mariners, ACR is proud to offer the ResQLink AIS. This compact high-tech Personal Locator Beacon is the world’s first PLB to include both AIS (Automatic Identification System) and NFC (Near Field Communication) in addition to standard satellite notification through the Cospas Sarsat rescue system. AIS means instant local notification for faster rescue times. NFC ensures the beacon is working properly when needed and provides easy access via smartphone to all functions and records. Accurate positioning through GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) and 406 MHz satellite connectivity mean reliable service worldwide.121.5MHz homing transmissions combined with AIS and both visible and infrared strobe aid in beacon location and speed recovery times. The innovative newACRResQLink AISis theFIRSTtocombine all these features in a compact easy-to-use PLB Beacon making it the FIRST choice for serious mariners looking for a Personal Locator Beacon.

The Worldwide Cospas Sarsat satellite system includes 3 different constellations to ensure your 406 MHz distress signal immediately reaches the global network of Search and Rescue forces with your location accurate to within 100 meters. With multiple levels of integrated signaling technology including 406 MHz and GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) positioning, the PLB also transmits a 121.5 MHz homing signal which guides Search and Rescue services to the beacon’s current location when they arrive on the scene, as the beacon may have drifted from the originally transmitted position. The addition of AIS (Automatic Identification System) transmissions means the ResQLink AIS simultaneously alerts all vessels equipped with AIS transponders within the VHF radio range of the PLB’s distress position. This greatly increases both the likelihood and speed of rescue since nearby vessels receive the alerts. Immediately upon deployment of the beacon an AIS Safety Message or MOB Alarm with the beacon’s MMSI and location is presented on any AIS screen within range. This makes it easy for nearby vessels to home in on the beacon since it is an active AIS target on their screens.

The ResQLink AIS will light the way as rescuers arrive on the scene with both a white visible strobe and infrared strobe providing rescuers with the visual reference they need during nighttime or other low visibility rescue operations.

Smartphone Connectivity utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC)

The integration of NFC technology provides users with the ability to conveniently access beacon data from their mobile phone. The simple act of placing a phone near the beacon automatically opens the ACR Product App and provides access to a wealth of usage data including current battery life, number of self-tests completed, number of GNSS tests completed, and if applicable, the amount of time the beacon has been activated. Detailed information on each self-test and GNSS test performed by the beacon is also available if desired. For each successful GNSS test, users can view a map showing exactly where the test was performed, the date and time of the test, the time it took the beacon to get a fix on your GNSS coordinates, the number of satellites the beacon used to obtain that fix, and the accuracy of the location.

Return Link Service (RLS)

RLS functionality works by sending a signal back through the Galileo satellite network to confirm to the beacon user that their distress message has been received and their location has been detected by the Coast Guard. A confirmation message is distinctly indicated by a flashing blue light on the PLB. Like other ACR beacons that include the important RLS feature, the ResQLink AIS provides the comfort of knowing that a distress message has been successfully delivered. Understanding that rescuers are aware of the beacon transmission and location reduces the stress often associated with Man Overboard incidents.

PFD Compatibility and Integration

The ResQLink AIS is designed to install within a life jacket and activate upon inflation of the jacket (semi-automatic). Installation is made simple using the included oral inflation tube clip to attach the PLB to the life jacket with a ribbon connected around the bladder of the life jacket. Once correctly installed, the action of the life jacket inflating triggers the deployment of the antenna and activation of the beacon.

Users not wishing to install the PLB within a life jacket have the option to utilize the included webbing clip to attach the beacon to an appropriately sized belt or the webbing of an inherently buoyant life jacket.
