General
Cospas/Sarsat system is a satellite system that provides alarming
and location data to
assist searching and rescuing actions. It detects 406MHz signal
from position indicating
radio beacons through air- or ground-based equipment to identify
the coordinates of
position of accident. The accident location and other relevant
information are forwarded
to associated domestic searching and rescuing organizations by
Cospas/Sarsat mission
control center. It aims at assisting every organization with such
responsibility around the
world to carry on its searching and rescuing actions, no matter at
sea, in the air, or on
land.
The VEP8 Satellite Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon
(VEP8-EPIRB) is used
in the global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) of
Cospas/Sarsat system.
Fig 1 shows us how a global maritime accident alarming system
functions based on
independent identification and emergent accident signals.
Composition of the Cospas/Sarsat system:
a) 6 LEOSAR satellites;
b) Local User Terminals (LUTs);
c) Mission Control Center/Rescue Coordination Center (MCC/RCC);
d) Satellite Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs).
Product Description
The VEP8, self-floating Satellite Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon
(VEP8-EPIRB), transmits 406MHz emergency signal and 121.5MHz homing
signal,
which meet relevant regulations of IMO/IEC and Cospas/Sarsat. It is
a necessary
equipment in emergency search and rescue.
When the ship sinks down, the VEP8 will automatically release from
the release device,
and transmits 406MHz SOS signals. The signal will be receives by
Cospas/Sarsat
system satellite and forwarded to coast terminals. LUT will get the
location of the position
indicating beacon through decoding and analyzing, and send the data
to RCC, for
carrying out emergency rescue.
The VEP8 sends emergency signal to rescue systems all around the
world through
satellite. The signal can be received in any place and be quickly
identified and located,
with the precision within 2nm.
The VEP8 meets the requirements of Cospas/Sarsat EPIRBs, and has
the following two
transmitters:
a) frequency of 406MHz: locate and identify signals through
Cospas/Sarsat
satellite;
b) aviation distress frequency of 121.5MHz: assist in searching and
rescuing
through automatically guiding program.
The VEP8 can be used in ships of any size, and possesses the
following advantages:
a) Simple installation and storage (optimal design);
b) Simple and safe operation;
c) Able to realize manual transmitting through simple operation;
d) Simple process under emergency (ergonomics design);
e) Possesses multilevel switch protection system that prevents
mis-operation.
(water-activating switch, magnet switch);
f) Automatic releasing mechanism, able to be released under the
depth between
2~4m, and ascend to the water surface;
g) Bright orange body case, water-tight>1bar;
h) Manual switching on for self-test;
i) Battery life: 5 years, able to continuously operate for more
than 48 hours.
