An EPIRB transmits signals to the satellite. The signal consists of an encrypted identification number (all in digital code) which holds information such as the ship’s identification, date of the event, the nature of distress, emergency contacts and the position. A UIN is a Unique Identifier Number programmed into each beacon at the factory. AN EPIRB is a SECONDARY means of DISTRESS alerting which is to say that it comes later in the hierarchy of alerting SAR authorities in case of distress. It is mandatory to carry one EPIRB on every ship and two EPIRBS for all Registered ships (and other types of vessels). EPIRBs must be re-registered every two years with AMSA. This ensures details are kept accurately, especially if someone has bought a different boat and previously forgotten to change details. Beacons generally have a 10-year battery life and the entire beacon will need replacing after the battery expires. How does the EPIRB work and how does it An EPIRB is a radio transmitter device designed to operate in conjunction with the Cospas-Sarsat international satellite search and rescue system. The main frequencies that get transmitted from the EPIRB is 406MHz and 121.5MHz. The 406 frequency is to initiate communication with satellites and the 121.5 is a homing in frequency used by rescue Vay Tiền Nhanh Chỉ Cần Cmnd Nợ Xấu.
