Signal Mate Portable Horn & Light Signal Controller

Signaling, during restricted visibility, can be difficult to maintain every two minutes, and it is hard to remember the correct sequence required by the United States Coast Guard (USCG). Radar, chart plotters and AIS units are valuable tools, but they do not fulfill what is required by the USCG and IMO 72 COLREGS for sound signaling during restricted visibility.

Signal Mate Portable Sound & Light Signal Control System is a self-contained, automatic controller that provides the required USCG sound and light signals for a vessel during restricted visibility or emergency situations.

Features:

• Designed to produce signals specifically required by U.S. Coast Guard rules and regulations
• Sound signals include vessel appropriate fog signals, Danger/Doubt signal and the Distress sound signal (continuous horn or SOS), or manual horn
• Light signals include standard repeating SOS, the Inland Distress of 50 to 70 flashes per minute continuously, or anchor light
• Controller has (2) outputs that can be used independently or synchronized – allowing for use of horn and / or light for signaling
• Push-button operation for easy selection of specific signals used for restricted visibility, danger / doubt, in need of assistance, or distress (inland and international)
• Light or horn can be operated independently or synchronized (USCG rule 36)
• (3) modes of operation: manual, automated, or simply on / off
• Side receptacle allows use of a additional, portable search light during restricted visibility or emergency
• Unit is pre-wired and ready for immediate use
• User friendly operation – 1) remove horn and LED light, connect battery, insert horn into bracket and position light for maximum visibility, 2) close bag and start signaling
