easyRESCUE-ATEX (A040)
AIS SART with ATEX certification

Visibility is crucial – especially in explosion-prone offshore areas.

In an emergency at sea, every second counts. The easyRESCUE-ATEX variants, easyRESCUE-Automatic-ATEX and easyRESCUE-BW-COM-ATEX,  ensure that people can be located immediately in an emergency. As ATEX-certified AIS SARTs, these emergency beacons were specifically developed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres such as offshore platforms, oil and gas facilities, or other hazardous areas.

Once activated, the beacon automatically and continuously transmits its current GPS position via the AIS (Automatic Identification System). The emergency message is displayed directly on AIS-enabled chartplotters, PCs, or Class A and Class B transceivers within range. This makes the person in distress immediately visible to surrounding vessels, safety vehicles, or rescue units – even under challenging offshore conditions.

The integrated, latest-generation GPS receiver ensures fast and precise positioning. This enables immediate localization, allowing rescue operations to be initiated without delay.

easyRESCUE-Automatic-ATEX

This variant activates automatically as soon as the device is in full contact with water for more than two seconds. After activation, the AIS SART continuously transmits the distress signal with its current position. Manual activation via the “ON” button remains possible at any time.

easyRESCUE-BW-COM-ATEX

In addition to water activation and manual activation, this version features a third activation option: an integrated magnetic switch with a rip cord. If the cord is disconnected from the device in an emergency, the AIS SART is automatically activated.

This variant offers maximum flexibility and is suitable for offshore work environments where defined manual or mechanical activation mechanisms are part of the safety concept.

What is needed to operate the easyRESCUE-ATEX rescue beacons?

All easyRESCUE-ATEX devices are ready for immediate use and require no additional equipment.

Thanks to their compact size, the beacons can be carried directly and easily attached to lifeboats, liferafts, or life jackets. Activation via the rip cord can occur automatically in conjunction with deploying life-saving devices.

Registration is not required to operate the easyRESCUE-ATEX beacons – the devices are ready for immediate use.

To display the position of the rescue boat or person in distress, only an AIS receiver or AIS transponder connected to a PC or chartplotter is required. This allows the emergency position to be monitored in real time and the rescue operation to be initiated immediately.

Please remember to enter your personal data in the RESCUE Database. In this way, the rescue teams can quickly get to potentially vital information in an emergency.
Do not worry, your data is protected. Only with the unit ID of an activated easyRESCUE organizations such as the DGzRS can view this specific data record.

In the database personal data such as drug intolerances or allergies are registered. In addition, it is possible to store contact details.
