Raymarine LifeTag is your personal wireless man overboard system. Utilizing the very latest in radio for boat frequency broadcast technology, LifeTag monitors up to 16 tagged crew members ensuring they are safe and sound onboard. Each LifeTag pendant broadcasts a unique identification code back to the LifeTag base station, telling it that its wearer is "safe." In the event of man overboard, the sailboat link between the victim's pendant and the LifeTag base station is broken and the alarm is raised automatically onboard the powerboat. The lightweight LifeTag pendant can be easily attached to your life boat jacket, PFD, marine safety harness or belt. Its featherweight (1.5 ounces) and compact size make it unobtrusive and easy to wear. LifeTag's state-of-the-art boat electronics ensure a long battery for boat life in excess of 2000 hours.
In the event of an actual man overboard situation, the victim's LifeTag signal is rapidly degraded by immersion in water, or as the distance between the victim and boat increase (typically 30 feet.) The LifeTag base station responds automatically by sounding an audible alarm onboard to roust other crew members. Each LifeTag is also fitted with a manual activation button. Pressing and holding the button for three seconds will manually trigger the system. This enables crew members to call for assistance in case for boats of fire, flooding, medical emergency or other situations where an immediate response is needed.
LifeTag can trigger the automatic man overboard in Raymarine SeaTalk compatible chartplotters, marine radars and instruments. SeaTalk network integration triggers vital actions automatically such as:
Sounding the SeaTalk network MOB alarm, providing audible and visual alerts to all stations.
Recording the GPS FOR BOATS latitude/longitude of the MOB event, and making it the target waypoint on all connected SeaTalk devices
Displaying critical search and rescue (SAR) data
Lowering the range scale on connected Raymarine chartplotter and radar displays to the lowest possible range scale, enhancing seeing the victim on radar and facilitating maneuvering to recover the victim.
Thanks to LifeTag's SeaTalk network integration, the system is expandable to support larger vessels or crews in excess of 16 people. Simply add another LifeTag base station (part number A18130) where you need additional converage, and add up to 16 additional LifeTag pendants.
