The FastFind CREW1 AIS Man Overboard device is designed to accelerate detection and support localised rescue for vessel crew in an MOB situation.
The CREW1 offers a range of innovative features in a compact and easy to carry design. The semiautomatic beacon can be water or manually activated. It boasts an extended 36 hour battery life and high-powered SOS strobe capability. With a rugged construction and multiple attachment clippings the FastFind CREW1 is designed with crew survivability in mind. Submersible to 50m the Crew1 offers a versatile commercial grade AIS man over-board solution.
How the FastFind CREW1 works
- CREW1 is activated in an emergency crew recovery situation
- An alert message is transmitted to all AIS receivers and AIS enabled chart plotters within a 4 mile radius (typical)
- An AIS SART alert icon marks the survivors location
- Precise target survivor information including GPS position become viewable when the chart plotter* cursor is positioned over the icon
- Provides exact location distance and bearing to locate person (s) in need of assistance
Not all small-craft chart plotters with AIS show the correct icon as recommended by the IMO. At the very least they will show the same icon as used for other craft — normally an arrow. In addition user settings generally allow you to configure the display to show the TX ID number which in the Crew1 always begins with 972. This way you can differentiate the CREW1 from other vessels.
All new ECDIS plotters (on ships over 300 tonnes) should display the icon correctly.
*For use with AIS enabled plotters contact your plotter manufacturer for further info.
Installation and activation
The FastFind CREW1 is supplied as default with a clip to attach the device to lifejacket strap and an alternative clip which can be attached to the lifejacket’s oral tube. This clip can be installed on either side of the oral tube.
Activation can be either manually or by water sensor activation. Manual activation involves pulling off the red antenna cap to release the antenna and then pulling the activation tab off. The device will start transmitting alert messages immediately. Water sensor activation requires you to pull off the red antenna cap to release the antenna when the water sensor embedded at the bottom side of the device is immersed in water for more than 3 seconds the device will be activated and starts transmission.
