‘Green’ safety equipment from Jotron

Jotron Group has launched a new range of EPIRBs (Emergency Position Identification Radio Beacon) as well as a new SART (Search and Rescue Transponder), with an emphasis on being ‘as environmentally friendly as possible’ while still meeting the required international standards.
The two new EPIRBs are called Tron 40S MkII and Tron 40GPS MkII while the new SART enters the market under the name of Tron SART20. Both the EPIRB and SART come with a 5 year warranty as standard.
The EPIRBs include an LED-module that has been developed comprising a unique reflector. The new intense LED-light will assist search and rescue teams by improving detection during difficult weather conditions.
For ease of replacement, the new series EPIRBs have also been designed to fit the current type of bracket used by its predecessors Tron 40S and Tron 40GPS.
In addition to these technical features, the new range of products has been incorporated into the Jotron AS recycle program, and contains no lead-soldering.
A new Non-Hazardous battery assembly has also been used, for improved environmental-friendliness, as well as easier distribution, as ‘Non-Haz’ products are subject to less strict regulation with regard to transportation.
Both the new EPIRBs as well as the new SART, including accessories, are available through Jotron’s distribution network.(April 11, 2008)
