AMSA summarizes the essential maintenance and replacement tips for float-free EPIRBs.
Float-free EPIRBsFloat-free EPIRBs are life-saving devices that automatically activate during emergencies at sea. These water-activated EPIRBs are securely housed in a float-free bracket. The EPIRB is ready to deploy when a vessel capsizes at depths of 1–4 meters. Equipped with a hydrostatic release unit (HRU), the EPIRB rises to the water’s surface and immediately starts transmitting the distress signal,...
