SAILOR® SE-II AND SGE-II EPIRBS
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon
2013 Product Sheet
The most important thing we build is trust
The SAILOR SE-II and SGE-II
Satellite EPIRBs are satellite
distress beacons designed to
operate in conjunction with the
Cospas-Sarsat international sat-
ellite search and rescue system.
For GMDSS compliance, the SAILOR
406MHz Satellite EPIRB has a slimline fully
enclosed float free housing which allows
self-testing of the EPIRB in question. The
SAILOR EPIRB is also available with a quick
release bulkhead mounting bracket for
carry-off situations.
Features include:
GMDSS compliant
Global distress alerting
Satellite location
Small and lightweight
Fully enclosed housing
5-year shelf life
Built-in GPS (model SGE-II only)
When considering the SAILOR 406 MHz
Satellite EPIRB for your vessel, you have
the choice of two versions – the standard
SE-II or the SGE-II. The SGE-II is distin-
guished by a built-in GPS and the ability to
provide Search and Rescue (SAR) services
with location details, including latitude
and longitude. Both models rely on a cut-
ting edge satellite system able to locate
beacons transmitting on the 406MHz
frequency to within 5km (3nm). Once SAR
units are at the distress scene the bea-
con’s 121.5MHz homing transmitter and
it’s high intensity xenon strobe light aid
final location even in poor visibility.
SAILOR 406MHz Satellite EPIRB is fully
compatible with the Cospas-Sarsat and
Global Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS) regulations and meets
the requirements A810 (19) of the Inter-
national Maritime Organisation (IMO).
When shipped the beacon is programmed
with a unique serial number which must
be registered with the national authorities.
Where national authorities allow, the
beacon can be re-programmed with the
vessels satellite or radio call sign. This is
done by the distributor using an infra-red
light pen connected to a Windows based
computer. The SAILOR EPIRB is supplied
with a fully enclosed automatic float free
housing which allows it to be self-tested
while in the housing. For non GMDSS use
the unit can be supplied in a quick release
bulkhead mounting bracket.
Once removed from its mounting brack-
et, activation happens automatically by
immersion of the water or manually by a
protected push button on the rear of the
EPIRB. An additional self-test button runs
a short diagnostic check and indicates
that the EPIRB is ready for use. The spe-
cially designed bracket prevent uninten-
tional activation in carry-off situations.
