Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Pro Category I GPS EPIRB, 406 MHz, Automatic Float-Free Housing (702S-03401)

The Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Pro combines compact 406 MHz satellite distress alerting with a Category I automatic-release housing for offshore and commercial vessel installations. If a vessel sinks, the housing’s hydrostatic mechanism can free the buoyant beacon so it rises and activates, while GPS positioning and 121.5 MHz homing assist the rescue response.

Key Features & Benefits
