Digital Yacht Waterproof MOB Switch Panel f/GPS160

The Waterproof MOB Switch Panel for GPS160 enhances marine safety by providing reliable man-overboard (MOB) functionality. Designed for seamless integration with the GPS160 high-performance positioning sensor, this switch panel ensures quick and accurate MOB detection, offering peace of mind during your maritime adventures.

About the GPS160 Positioning Sensor

The GPS160 is a state-of-the-art positioning sensor that leverages GPS, Galileo, and Glonass satellite systems to deliver exceptional positioning accuracy and redundancy. Ideal for marine applications, the GPS160 ensures precise navigation and reliable performance even in challenging environments.

Key Features

• External Switch Input Compatibility: The Waterproof MOB Switch Panel accepts an external switch input to activate the internal MOB function of the GPS160, enabling immediate response in emergency situations.
• Automatic Position Saving: Upon MOB activation, the GPS160 automatically saves the vessel's position and generates a “synthetic” AIS MOB NMEA sentence. This allows compatible plotters to automatically mark the MOB position, functioning similarly to an AIS SART activation ($AIVDM with Message 1 and 14).
• Easy Installation: The switch panel can be effortlessly installed using a simple push-button switch or connected to your vessel’s outboard kill switch and tether, ensuring flexibility and convenience during setup.
• Third-Party System Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of third-party wireless MOB systems that feature any switched alarm output, expanding its usability across various marine safety setups.
