NRC MOBOS Transmitter MTX-A and MTX-M

The MOBOS transmitters are developed for the toughest water conditions. They are available in two versions: MTX-A with automatic activation and MTX-M with manual activation. You choose the version with the Activation option. Both fit any life jacket and water safety equipment.

• Compact and lightweight: 20 cm long, 3.5 cm in diameter
• Robust housing with a built-in antenna that cannot break off
• Sends a signal every 15 seconds, so the crew always knows the position of the person in the water
• Integrated LED flashes regularly and shows battery level and operating mode
• Distress call range of up to 10 km (5.6 NM), depending on the height of the receiving antenna
• Powered by 2 AAA lithium batteries that are easy to replace worldwide, with a running time of up to 170 hours
• NRC states a capacity guarantee of 18 years for the batteries

MTX-A, automatic activation:

• Fits all common automatic life jackets, including children's models and SOLAS approved models
• Activated automatically by the self-inflating life jacket, no action needed
• Stays at the highest point of the inflated jacket so that the distress signal is sent above the water surface

MTX-M, manual activation:

• Attached via a pocket to solid vests, clothing or sports equipment
• Activated by turning the red foot through 180 degrees
• After activation, the asymmetric switch position clearly shows ON

Can be used with automatic life jackets for sailors, pilots and dock workers, with solid vests for boaters and canoeists, and directly on the body of windsurfers and kitesurfers.
