We are launching a new range of EPIRBs (Emergency Position Identification Radio Beacon) as well as a new SART (Search and Rescue Transponder).
In addition to introducing a range of new technical features we have placed great emphasis on ensuring the new products are as environmentally friendly as possible while still meeting the required international standards.
The two new EPIRBs are called Tron 40S MkII and Tron 40GPS MkII while the new SART enters the market under the name of Tron SART20. Both the EPIRB and SART come with a 5 year warranty as standard.
The new Tron 40S MkII and Tron 40GPS MkII have been designed to exhibit even greater visibility. A state of the art LED-module has been developed comprising a unique reflector. Together with an optimal lens, the EPIRB meets new strict requirements. The new intense LED-light will assist the work of any Search and Rescue Teams and greatly improves detection during difficult weather conditions.
Our policy is to manufacture safety equipment with optimal user-friendly features. For several years, we have co-operated closely with professional end-users, such as fishermen and merchant-fleet crew. This has resulted in both the new EPIRB and the new Tron SART20 having a newly designed release mechanism which simplifies and facilitates manual operation, especially under extreme conditions and at low temperatures. For ease of replacement, the new series EPIRBs have also been designed to fit the current type of bracket used by its predecessors Tron 40S and Tron 40GPS. In addition to these important new technical features, We have invested a significant amount of effort and focus to ensure that these new products are as environmentally friendly as possible.
The new range of EPRIBs and the Tron SART20 are incorporated into our recycle program. Furthermore, this new generation of products will comply with RoHS and hence contain no lead-soldering. Another important environmental aspect is the use of a new Non-Hazardous battery assembly. A product classified as “Non-Haz” considerably eases distribution, handling and the cost of transportation. We are very proud to announce that the new products meet all the criteria according to the UN “Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; Manual of Test and Criteria, Ref ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.4.” The new Tron SART20 is also designed to be a light-weight, compact unit greatly reducing the need for unnecessary material and parts. This, in turn, results in less packing material, which otherwise would have to be recycled.
