Product details

Notes on programming:

This PLB must be programmed with your personal data before dispatch. The appliance will not function without prior programming.

The programming of this data must be carried out by us, you cannot do this yourself.

As a rule, we program a PLB so that it can be used as an EPIRB. This means that the device is programmed and registered to a vessel and not a person. To do this, we need your personal data such as MMSI, boat name and call sign.

Please add the above-mentioned programming accordingly and complete the form in full.

If you require programming for a specific person, we can also do this for you.

The registration of the device to the respective country code must, in any case, be carried out by us.

Please let us know in which country you would like to register the device. Since there are no authorities for PLB emergency beacons in Germany, you can, for example, find information about the further procedure on the website of the English authorities ( https://www.gov.uk/register-406-beacons ) In addition, the registration of the PLB should be carried out on the website of the IBRD (International Beacon Registration Database) ( https://www.406registration.com/ ). We would also like to point out that, in accordance with the regulations of the respective country, you must register the EPIRB personally as the licence holder with the competent authority.
Please note that programming and therefore operation of this device is possible in countries that support RLS. Further information on this can be found on the Cospas Sarsat website.

The Ocean Signal PLB3 personal locator beacon combines 406 MHz, 121.5 MHz and AIS distress messaging in one PLB. By combining the individual technologies for making emergency calls, the chances of a quick rescue are significantly increased.

Wireless NFC interface
Using the NFC wireless connection*, you can access activity history, battery status and programming information of the PLB3 via the OceanSignal app (iOS and Android).
* Note: Only possible with an NFC (Near Field Communication) compatible smartphone.

Slim design with additional infrared strobe light
All functions and, of course, the lithium-ion battery, which enables an operating time of at least 24 hours (at -20 °C), as well as the 72-channel GPS receiver, are contained in the compact housing design. Its slim size of 36 x 30 x 200 mm (W x D x H) means that the Ocean Signal PLB3 can be worn comfortably on the body without restricting freedom of movement.

In addition to a powerful strobe light, the PLB3 also has an additional infrared strobe light, which makes it easier to find the casualty in bad weather and at night.

Integrated AIS function
When the Ocean Signal rescueME PLB3 is triggered, in addition to sending a distress message on the typical EPIRB frequencies of 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz, an AIS distress message is also sent to vessels in the vicinity via the VHF AIS frequencies. This AIS distress message can be received by vessels equipped with an appropriate AIS Class A or Class B receiver. The AIS distress message is displayed on the compatible navigation system and the course can be taken directly to the position of the distress call.

The merging of 406 MHz and AIS distress messaging effectively pairs both global and local rescue, thereby maximizing access to the most effective rescue resources available.

RLS function
The RLS (Return Link Service) function is a two-way communication type between your EPRIB and the rescue centre. The RLS system gives you the peace of mind that your distress message, which was sent via the EPIRB frequency, has been received by the rescue coordination center. As soon as your distress message is received by the responsible authority, the RLS LED on the Ocean Signal PLB3 lights up blue. The RLS signal is sent via the Galileo satellite network from the rescue control centre back to the EPIRB, which triggered the distress message. This confirmation that rescuers are aware that an EPIRB has been activated and know its location helps reduce the stress associated with accident situations.

Important safety feature
Great advice from SVB that you can't get via a purely online platform. I was immediately provided with the registration platform. Since I registered the channel personally, registration via England was necessary and wasn't a big deal. The transmitter was easy to install in my Spinlock vest. An essential security tool for me and my purposes and highly recommended.
