Seawork International, 22nd – 24th May 2012, SSA Stand SR1
The SSA Stand SR1 at this year’s Seawork International features the SafeSea® V100 GMDSS hand-held radio. Following Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certification from the British Approvals Board for Telecommunications (BABT), Ocean Signal has announced full availability of the V100 which has enabled shipment of the product to commence worldwide.
“Having received full certification of our V100 hand-held radio, we have now commenced shipment of the products to our global distribution and customer base. The V100 completes our existing SafeSea portfolio which offers a range of highly reliable and easy-to-use safety products, each with unique industry leading features,” comments Alan Wrigley, Managing Director, Ocean Signal.
The new Ocean Signal, SafeSea V100 is a rugged, fully featured hand-portable GMDSS radiotelephone which exceeds GMDSS environmental requirements. With ergonomic design, durable laser etched keypad, high contrast backlit LCD and backlit keys the radio is supplied with all the 21 international simplex channels required.
As with all Ocean Signal products, improving battery life has been a primary consideration in the development of the SafeSea V100. A unique feature of the emergency Lithium primary battery is the battery protection tab which avoids inadvertent use. Only when the tab is broken off will the battery operate the radio, ensuring the pack is at full capacity when needed. The tab is not replaceable and the battery is clearly marked ‘Used’ underneath the tab. The battery is classified as non-hazardous for shipment and can be user replaced.
In addition, a highly efficient transmitter helps to maximise the battery life giving significant improvement over other products on the market, providing typically 16 hours operation even at -20C. In addition, a Lithium Polymer rechargeable battery pack is available with rapid charger that can be desk or wall mounted, for day to day on-board use. An accessory socket option is also available for users requiring helmets or headsets.
Ocean Signal’s full range of SafeSea products includes the E100 and E100G EPIRBS, S100 SART and the V100 GMDSS hand-held radio. For further information, please visit the Ocean Signal team at stand SR1 or visit www.oceansignal.com.
