AIS LifeJacket Personal Locator Beacon (Automatic Identification System)

Introducing the world’s smallest AIS Man Overboard (MOB) device with integrated VHF DSC – the rescueME MOB2 from Ocean Signal. This vital component of any maritime safety kit is designed for rapid response in man-overboard emergencies. Compact and lightweight, the MOB2 integrates seamlessly with even the most compact inflatable lifejackets, ensuring automatic activation upon inflation.

The MOB2 sends the first alert within 15 seconds, broadcasting your precise location using AIS technology to nearby vessels and onboard navigation systems. It communicates with the vessel you’ve been separated from and other vessels up to 5 miles away, depending on conditions. Additionally, nearby vessels are instantly notified of the man-overboard situation through DSC technology.

In an emergency, the rescueME MOB2 provides two methods of rapidly communicating your position, accurate to a few meters, and offers visual indication via its built-in strobe lights. Its integrated dual Infrared (IR) and White strobe lights ensure maximum visibility in low light conditions, providing peace of mind for sailors and boaters by enhancing safety on the water and potentially saving lives in critical situations. Waterproof to 10 meters, the MOB2 features a robust construction and a long-lasting battery.

Alerting your vessel about a Man Overboard is the most rapid and reliable recovery option. In moderate seas, losing sight of a man overboard can occur shockingly fast. That’s why Ocean Signal’s latest rescueME MOB2 combines both AIS and VHF DSC emergency technology in the latest AIS class M-compliant solution for the maritime market.

Upon activation, the MOB2’s location is regularly updated and displayed on an AIS-enabled plotters. With its integrated GPS, the MOB2 provides precise location data to your vessel and any assisting vessels. Nearby vessels are automatically alerted to man-overboard situations through VHF DSC. The Ocean Signal MOB2 is nearly half the size of the competing products and fits perfectly inside inflatable lifejackets. It also boasts a longer operating life, automatic activation via an inflatable lifejacket, dual IR and White strobe lights, and NFC mobile app connectivity.

Smartphone Connectivity utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC)

The integration of NFC technology provides users with the ability to conveniently program the MOB2 MMSI and access beacon data from their mobile phone. The simple act of placing a phone near the beacon automatically opens the Ocean Signal Product App and provides access to a variety of usage data including current battery life, number of self-tests completed, number of GNSS tests completed, and if applicable, the amount of time the beacon has been activated.

Class M Approved AIS Man Overboard Beacon with VHF DSC

Engineered to exceed Class M requirements, the MOB2 is Compliant with regulation ECC/DEC/(22)02 regarding the use of MOB devices.

Lifejacket Integration

The MOB2 can be activated manually or automatically when installed within an inflatable lifejacket (automatic). Installation is made simple using the included oral inflation tube clip to attach the MOB2 to the lifejacket with a ribbon connected around the bladder of the lifejacket. Once correctly installed, the action of the lifejacket inflating triggers the deployment of the antenna and activation of the beacon. Compatibility: Most modern AIS plotters and DSC VHF comply with the standards required to receive MOB transmissions. It is however, especially if you are using older equipment, recommended that you check compatibility with the equipment manufacturer. See the FAQs below for more information. The MOB2 may be configured by the user to enter the vessels DSC MMSI number* by downloading the software at the link below. The vessel’s DSC number may be programmed multiple times. * DSC functionality is subject to regulations of country. ** Always refer to the lifejacket manufacturer for specific instructions before installing this product directly to your lifejacket. † Subject to warranty statement.

Good price. The unit is small enough to fit inside my Seago 3Dynamic 190Pro. Easy enough to install and set up. Worth downloading the full instructions. Worth considering the implications of Open Loop and Closed Loop, I went for open loop and suspect most Yachty people should.
