Global Search and Rescue Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon
Function
EPIRB for VDR/VDR-FFC (VEP8V)
Brief introduction
As a part of VDR, FFC can floats on the water upon ship wrecking, and transmits signals with location and ID information to indicate its location;
The signal is forwarded by international search and rescue satellite, which covers any area in the global.
Feature
Long working life, continuous transmission of more than 400 hours;
Innovated cut-free connecter allows repeated use;
Compact design makes it the world's smallest EPIRB of VDR.
