The Accusat™ MT606FG is a float-free Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) specifically designed to activate when a vessel is submerged to a depth of 1–4 meters.

Equipped with a hydrostatic release unit, the beacon is automatically ejected and activated upon contact with water.

The beacon then floats to the surface, transmitting a distress signal that indicates your position to Search and Rescue Authorities.

The MT606FG includes Automatic Identification System (AIS) emergency broadcasting.

Upon activation, a distress signal is broadcast to nearby AIS-equipped vessels.

A nearby vessel can potentially render assistance faster than traditional search and rescue assets, leading to better outcomes for survivors.
