KANNAD Marine Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB)

KANNAD Marine Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB) Technical Data

Marine Technics Group is the official distributor of KANNAD Marine (Orolia, Ltd) in the Russian Federation.

KANNAD Marine Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons are always available for order from our offices in Saint-Petersburg and Baltic region as well as from our partners in Russian regions.

KANNAD Marine Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons manufactured by Orolia, Ltd. are for use in maritime emergencies and is approved for these contingencies. They are not designed or recommended for use on land or in the air.

These EPIRBs are a powerful self-contained distress transmitter and once activated they will operate for at least 48 hours. They operate best while floating in water. Although EPIRB can be operated on board a vessel or in a life raft, it is not recommended to do so.

The EPIRB can be mounted to the vessel using float-free enclosure.

When you activate the EPIRB, on board transmitters start broadcasting distress signals at several frequencies:

  • A 406 MHz alert signal can be received by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system. Ground stations track these satellites and process the distress signals to obtain a location using Doppler location techniques;
  • A 121.5 MHz transmission can be detected by overflying aircraft and Search & Rescue (SAR) homing receivers.
  • With EPIRB models equipped with a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver (SafePro AIS / SafePro), the current position is transmitted as part of the distress signal. GNSS systems require a clear view of the sky in order to work effectively, because the receiver needs signals from several satellites to calculate its position. If the GNSS receiver within the EPIRB cannot determine its position, it “fails safe” – it does not transmit an inaccurate position – but instead sends information to indicate that no position is available. Position information is then dependent on the orbiting satellite system.
