TRON 40AIS – Dual Alert EPIRB for Maximum Maritime Safety The TRON 40AIS is an advanced Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) with integrated AIS (Automatic Identification System), providing fast and reliable distress alerts both globally and locally. Manufactured for use on commercial vessels, yachts, fishing boats, and offshore platforms, it is a vital component of any SOLAS-compliant marine safety system. Product Description: The TRON 40AIS combines traditional 406 MHz COSPAS-SARSAT satellite alerting with local AIS distress signaling. In an emergency, it simultaneously transmits: A 406 MHz distress signal via satellite to rescue coordination centers worldwide A 121.5 MHz homing signal for nearby aircraft and search teams An AIS alert to nearby vessels and AIS-equipped stations within VHF range Its compact, rugged design ensures ease of installation and reliability in the harshest maritime environments. The built-in GPS ensures accurate positioning within seconds of activation, while the high-intensity LED strobe enhances visual location at night. Key Features: Dual alert: 406 MHz + AIS + 121.5 MHz homing Integrated high-accuracy GPS Compliant with IMO SOLAS and GMDSS standards Automatic activation in water or manual use Compact, lightweight, and floatable 10-year battery life (serviceable) Bright LED strobe for visual detection Easy self-test functionality Whether you’re in open ocean or coastal waters, the TRON 40AIS ensures your distress signal is received quickly, increasing the chances of a rapid rescue.
