Automatic life jacket incl. Rescue transmitter – Secumar Alpha 275 3D TWZ PLB (U-A176)

Product description

Secumar Alpha 275 3D TWZ PLB

The SOLAS premium model: large-volume double-chamber float in 3D design.

This product brings together two major innovations in lifejacket technology. The patented floating body is based on the double-chamber principle
For additional safety, a second replacement chamber can be manually inflated by pulling the rip cord so that the full buoyancy is available. The 3D floating body is shaped in such a way that a large part of the buoyancy acts in wing-like chambers in front of the chest. In an emergency, when the casualty falls face down into the water, this generates additional leverage forces that turn the shipwrecked person more easily into a supine position. This is a safety gain, especially for wearers of heavy-weather clothing.
An integrated sea rescue transmitter is clearly visible from the outside through a control window and is placed at the highest possible point in an emergency thanks to the 3D float in order to enable optimal transmission performance.

Integrated Rescue Transmitter – easyRESCUE

The Alpha 275 AS is equipped with an integrated AIS S.A.R.T. Rescue Transmitter. Choose between the easyRESCUE-BW-COM or the easyRESCUE-PRO(BT).
The integrated rescue transmitter activates itself automatically when the lifejacket’s floatation body is inflated, since a magnetic switch is opened by means of a rip cord. After activation, the device receives the current GPS position and transmits it via AIS message to every AIS receiver in transmission range. Your own ship with AIS equipment on board notices the emergency situation immediately and can approach the casualty with pinpoint accuracy, since the GPS position is updated every minute and the course and speed over ground are also transmitted. You gain valuable time!
