grated GNSS receiver. The device is intended for the usage in combination with an automatic life jacket. The device has a manual release mechanism and an automatic release mechanism by water contact. The AIS MOB easyONE-DSC is floatable without the need of any flotation aids.

Operating elements 4.1. Alarm flap The transparent plastic cover (4) in the upper frontal section of the device serves to avoid false alarms and locks the antenna flap (3) at the same time. 4.2. “ON” button The easyONE-DSC can be activated manually by pressing the “ON“...
4.3. “TEST” button The device can be activated for an electrical function test by pressing the “TEST“ button (7). In addition to the AIS test message an one-time DSC distress call is sent to all pre-programmed MMSI numbers. The red LED FLARE is also activated once.
Operation The easyONE-DSC is floatable without any floatation aids. During heavy sea the floating AIS MOB easyONE-DSC may take a longer time to get the position information by GNSS. The best AIS transmitter and GPS receiver performance will be achieved by holding the distress transmitter with your hands as far away from the water as possible.
5.1. ALERT 5.1.1. Automatic Activation The AIS/DSC MOB easyONE-DSC is designed for carrying it in an automatic life jacket. If falling into the water, the life jacket opens and the floating body inflates due to the water contact. As a result, the transmitter gets into the wa- ter and the antenna is released.

equipped with an AIS receiver. This distress signal includes: • Current GNSS position information • Current COG and SOG • Text message “MOB ACTIVE” • Unique serial number of the device (MMSI) • Navigational Status 14 (AIS Search and Rescue Transmitter active) Usually the easyONE-DSC is displayed like an AIS S.A.R.T.

As soon as the position fix is established, a next DSC distress call in closed loop is transmitted to all (up to eight) num- bers on the list with current position. This DSC broadcast will be repeated after 5 minutes, later on every 10 minutes. DSC Open Loop Country-specific regulations have to be observed by the user, as the activation of the DSC Open Loop is an alarm in...
will stay at every 2 seconds. 5.2. TEST functionality (MOB TEST) Please check the transmitting function of the AIS MOB easyONE-DSC on a regular basis. An annual or semi-annual test is usually sufficient. Too frequent testing reduces bat- tery capacity. The battery is designed for 7 years and more than 30 test activations.
