Introducing the Ocean Signal SafeSea EPIRB1 Pro, the world’s most compact Float Free EPIRB for commercial, fishing, and leisure vessels. This Cat 1 Class 2 emergency beacon delivers rapid, global distress signaling with a 10-year battery life, a high-efficiency 66-channel GPS receiver, and a robust, user-friendly design that stands up to demanding marine conditions from -20°C to +55°C. When danger strikes, the EPIRB1 Pro ensures rescue teams have your exact location and a clear, unmistakable beacon in the sky.
Key features
-
Ultra-compact design with a 30% smaller footprint (typically) to fit even the tightest installation spaces.
-
Float Free Category I Automatic Release Housing (ARH) with Hydrostatic Release Unit for automatic deployment and surface transmission if you can’t reach the beacon.
-
406 MHz distress transmission plus a 121.5 MHz homing beacon to aid fast locate-by-rescue services.
-
66-channel GPS receiver for fast, accurate position acquisition and MEOSAR compatibility.
-
High-intensity LED strobe for superior visibility at night or in low-visibility conditions (duty cycle optimized for quick recognition).
-
10-year battery life with non-hazardous LiMnO2 chemistry, designed for long-term reliability and reduced maintenance.
-
Meets international standards including IMO and GMDSS requirements for general use on a wide range of vessels.
-
Rugged, reliable operation across the full operating range of -20°C to +55°C, ready for any voyage.
-
Retrofit-friendly ARH adaptor allows mounting with the same holes used by older EPIRBs (E100/E100G, Jotron Tron 60s, McMurdo E5/G5).
