The Jotron Group has launched a new range of EPIRBs (Tron 40S MkII and Tron 40GPS MkII) as well as a new SART (Tron SART20). In addition to introducing a range of new technical features, Jotron AS has placed great emphasis on ensuring the new products are as environmentally friendly as possible, while still meeting the required international standards.
The new EPIRBs have been designed to give even greater visibility. A state of the art LED-module has been developed comprising a unique reflector. The new intense LED-light will assist the work of any Search and Rescue Teams and greatly improves detection during difficult weather conditions.
Both the new EPIRB and the new Tron SART20 have a newly designed release mechanism which simplifies and facilitates manual operation, especially under extreme conditions and at low temperatures.
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, Jotron has invested a significant amount of effort and focus to ensure that these new products are as environmentally friendly as possible. The new range of EPRIBs and the Tron SART20 are incorporated into Jotron recycle programme. Furthermore, this new generation of products will comply with RoHS and hence contain no lead-soldering. Another important environmental aspect is the use of a new non-hazardous battery assembly. A product classified as ’Non-Haz’ considerably eases distribution, handling and the cost of transportation. Jotron says that it is very proud to announce that the new products meet all the criteria according to the UN ’Recommendation on the Transport of Dangerous Goods; Manual of Test and Criteria, Ref ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.4’.
The new Tron SART20 is also designed to be a light-weight, compact unit greatly reducing the need for unnecessary material and parts. This, in turn, results in less packing material, which otherwise would have to be recycled.
