MED / SOLAS approval (see "Downloads & Information" below). The distress beacon (EPIRB) alerts in addition to the message via COSPAS/SARSAT satellites also in close range via AIS. The Return Link Service (RLS) provides a visual confirmation that the distress message has been received and thus a reassuring feeling. Near Field Communication (NFC) allows a (suitable) smartphone to monitor the EPIRB via an app.

Before delivery, the MMSI of your vessel must be programmed into the EPIRB.

First Coding EPIRB
Initial programming of a new device purchased from us!An EPIRB - and therefore also a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) - i.e. a COSPAS-SARSAT satellite radio beacon is generally subject to registration in Germany.Both EPIRBs and PLBs are registered on a ship-by-ship basis. This means that the MMSI of your own ship is programmed into the device, which - unlike with a radio - you cannot do yourself. Alternatively, the PLB can also be registered in the UK on a device/person basis.Therefore, please enter the required ship data in the last step of the order under "Remarks":Ship nameMMSIIMO no. (if available)Call signFlagYou can also send us a copy (e-mail attachment) of the first page of your Ship Station Licence (certificate of assignment).You will receive the corresponding coding certificate (including 15-digit HEX ID code, "protected message") with the device, which you submit to the Federal Network Agency, Hamburg field office.The form for the "Application for the allocation of numbers of the mobile maritime and inland waterway radio call sign, MMSI and ATIS for recreational navigation (SHIP STATION LICENCE)" is used for new applications and applications for amendments.You can find it here: www.bundesnetzagentur.deThe details of your EPIRB / PLB will then be stored with the ITU* and the MRCC** Bremen so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of an emergency at sea. For example, a telephone call can be made to a designated person on shore to check whether it may be a genuine emergency.* The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)** Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC)
