HAMMAR H20R Beacons Quick Release Hydrostatic Module
Ensure unparalleled safety and compliance on the water with the HAMMAR H20R Beacons Quick Release Hydrostatic Module. As a world-leading solution in maritime safety equipment, this unit is an indispensable component for any vessel, from recreational boats to commercial fleets. The H20R is engineered to operate flawlessly in the most critical moments, providing reliable, automatic activation of your Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB).
The HAMMAR H20R Beacons Quick Release Hydrostatic Module in Black and Yellow is an essential safety device for boats and equipment. This module is designed to automatically activate and release the beacon when submerged in water, providing a reliable distress signal in emergency situations. This hydrostatic release mechanism is triggered by water pressure, ensuring that if a vessel sinks, the EPIRB is automatically freed to float to the surface and transmit its distress signal. The high-visibility black and yellow color scheme ensures that the module is easily identified on deck for inspection and manual deployment checks, making it easier for crew to confirm its readiness. The quick release mechanism also allows for easy manual deployment and straightforward installation, giving users peace of mind knowing they have a reliable safety device on board. Made with durable materials, the HAMMAR H20R is built to withstand the harsh marine environment and provide long-lasting protection for boaters and their equipment.
Key Benefits & Advanced Features
Rely on one of the most trusted hydrostatic release modules in the industry. The H20R is designed to be completely service-free for its two-year operational life. This “fit and forget” approach eliminates the need for costly annual servicing, maintenance, or spare parts—simply install it and replace it after two years. Its design is compliant with the stringent requirements of SOLAS 74/96, MED, and other major international maritime authorities, making it a globally accepted standard for safety. The unit features a special weak link that is designed to break if the EPIRB risks being pulled under by a sinking vessel, ensuring the beacon remains on the surface to function effectively.
