WEATHERDOCK easy2-MOB DSC AIS Emergency Transmitter / Automatic and Manual / Class M Approved

The Class M easy2-MOB from Weatherdock is a combined AIS/DSC distress transmitter and can be activated manually as well as automatically. In an emergency, the device sends an instant alert to all vessels in the immediate vicinity and ensures that rescue attempts can be made as quickly as possible. Powerful red LEDs and an integrated strobe light also increase visibility.

Weatherdock Class M easy2-MOB marine rescue transmitter approved to the latest standard
As of 1st January 2021, a new standard (ECDIS 63269 IEC 2022) for AIS MOB (Man over Board) rescue beacons has been in place. This standard states that all "AIS MOB" devices with DSC (Digital Selective Calling) also require a DSC receiver. It must also be possible to switch off all automatic mechanisms.
From 1 January 2025, the sale of existing AIS MOB devices will be prohibited and it is currently unclear whether the use of such devices will still be permitted from this point onwards. The Weatherdock easy2-MOB, is a class M approved AIS maritime distress transmitter.

DSC function
Alert up to eight vessels whose MMSI numbers have been pre-programmed via Bluetooth and the Weatherdock app. DSC signals can be both transmitted as well as received. If the unit receives no acknowledgement, it switches automatically to “open loop distress call” transmitting. This signal can be picked up and relayed by commercial vessels to forward the distress call, thus the chance of being saved is increased many times over.

AIS function
Parallel to DSC, the emergency transmitter sends an AIS distress call alert. This signal is received by all vessels with AIS on board within a radius of up to 7 nautical miles. The data is updated and re-transmitted every minute.

Highly versatile
The emergency transmitter does not require any special tools for attachment. Due to its compact size, it is suitable for use with a wide range of life jackets. Simply slide it head down between the folded bladder. The safety line is attached inside, e.g. to an existing ring with a knot.
