CETCME VEP8V (VDR-FFC) - an emergency beacon that is part of the ship's data logging system (VDR). In the event of a ship sinking, the device automatically floats to the surface of the water, activates and transmits signals with location data and identification. These signals are relayed by international rescue satellites, allowing for global coverage.
Key features and Functions:
- Automatic and manual activation. The radio beacon can be activated automatically when it comes into contact with water or manually.
- Integrated VDR storage. The device contains a built-in drive for storing VDR system data.
- Compact design. The most compact emergency beacon for VDR in the world.
- Long-term work. Signal transmission lasting more than 400 hours.
- Ease of use. Innovative connector without the need to cut the cable, allowing multiple use.
- Integration with security systems. Supports automatic testing and built-in self-diagnosis functions.
