Description
Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Tron 40AIS with float-free heating bracket
Summary: The Tron 40AIS with float-free heating bracket is an IMO SOLAS-mandated Category 1 emergency distress beacon engineered by Jotron AS for deep-sea merchant vessels, tankers, and offshore fleets. Integrating multi-constellation 406 MHz satellite distress alerting, 121.5 MHz homing, local AIS position broadcasting, and Galileo Return Link Service (RLS), it delivers rapid search-and-rescue response. Fully approved under Wheelmark MED and IEC 61097-2 Ed.4, it is supplied, programmed, and supported by SEANAV Marine Technical Services with 24/7 port dispatch across UAE and global shipping routes.
System Overview & Operational Purpose
The Tron 40AIS EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon – category I) with float-free heating bracket complies with the mandatory International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulation (as of July 2022) and Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulation. This EPIRB is approved according to MED, MER (UK), FCC and IC.
An infrared light emitting diode (IR LED) is incorporated. This IR LED allows the use of night vision, which better assists SAR operations that occur at night or in the dark.
The Tron 40AIS can be used with the Galileo Return Link System, Europeâs Global Navigation Satellite System (operational since January 2020).
This EPIRB has been tested for operational and performance requirements in accordance with the international standard, IEC 61097-2 Ed.4 (April 2021).
Key Features & Engineering Highlights
- For all users: Integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) enables easy status readout using a smartphone
- For authorized partners only: Easy programming via an exclusive smartphone app enables advanced configuration
- AIS homing technology included for faster localization
- Integrated RLS through Galileo GNSS
- IR LED light for night vision devices and assisted SAR
