About
The new W480 is a compact search and rescue locating device, designed for the personal safety of crew members or any professional working at sea. Using the clips provided, it can be mounted on self-inflatable lifejackets, and also fixed directly to the oral inflation tube.
Should the wearer fall overboard, the W480 starts working automatically thanks to the sea-sensors situated on the rear of the device and transmits a radio signal that can be used to locate the crew member.
