Prepare for marine emergencies
When youβve used up all your options to save yourself, the reliable
GME Accusat MT603FG Auto Release EPIRB will get
you the help you need during an emergency.
Why Have an EPIRB?
An EPIRB can save your life and the lives of others on board by
providing rescue authorities your precise location in the event of
an emergency. GME EPIRBs are self-contained 406 MHz radio
transmitters that emit an internationally recognised distress
signal on the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system.
The GME Accusat MT603FG Auto Release EPIRB
contains a unique identity code which can be cross referenced to a
database of registered 406 MHz beacons, allowing the beaconβs owner
and vessel to be immediately identified in the event of an
emergency.
GPS Equipped
The MT603 GPS Series features an integrated 66
channel GPS receiver which automatically acquires the position and
relays the latitude and longitude of the beacon along with the
personal identifier and emergency signal to rescue authorities.
Additionally, each unit includes an ultra-high performance solid
state strobe and 121.5MHz VHF homing beacon to assist in guiding
rescuers to your precise location.
Water Activation
The MT603 GPS Series will automatically activate
when out of the bracket and deployed in water. The
MT603FG will automatically deploy and activate
when it reaches a depth of 1 metre in water. It can also be
manually activated by the operator in an emergency situation.
