What are the advantages of proximity alarm systems?
• Proximity alarm MOB systems use tags which can be easily recharged quickly and remain charged for long intervals • Proximity alarm MOB systems can be used on any sized vessel • Should a crew member fall overboard and become trapped next to the boat in a line or net, the alarm will still activate because the wireless tag can’t transmit underwater • Integration into your C-MAP GPS provides the exact event location and steering direction of the Man Overboard in the water • Because proximity alarms provide an instant alert, external Search & Rescue services are not required • With non proximity alarm MOB systems there is the risk that the transmitter cannot transmit through water an alert back to the vessel
