Information

Additional

The buoy’s position and the object-data programmed into the device will be received when the receiver on the monitoring boat is tuned to the same custom frequency. The position of the buoy will be displayed on a terminal or PC screen within the transmitter range.

The TEST button can be used to check all settings and transmissions before starting. The device is activated by pressing the RUN button and the POS’N’HOOK then transmits its position once every three minutes.
