40 LifeTag LifeTag 41 LifeTag is a personal man overboard (MOB) system that consists of a base station and wireless tags worn by crew members, family or pets. LifeTag can be used as a standalone system or integrated into a Raymarine SeaTalk network. How does it work in standalone configuration? If a crew member falls overboard, or strays out of range – typically 9m (30') – contact with the base-station is lost and a loud alarm sounds. LifeTag Features >

SEATALK INTEGRATION
LifeTag Wireless Man Overboard System
How does it work in a Seatalk network? • Basic system consists of 2 LifeTags and a base station.
• System can be expanded (extra LifeTags sold separately) to monitor up to 16 LifeTags. Larger boats may be covered by additional base stations.• Supplied strap enables LifeTag to be fi tted around the wrist of an adult or child, to an article of clothing, belt loop or a pet’s collar.• LED for status feedback.• Replaceable CR2 Lithium batteries (supplied) – expected battery life is one year (with over 2000 operational hours). • Tags will power off automatically, whilst remaining fully operational. If you have a Raymarine SeaTalk network equipped with Raymarine multi-function displays or ST70, ST60+ or ST290 instruments, an emergency waypoint (999) is created with co-ordinates relating to the point at which the alarm was activated. A bearing to waypoint '999' is displayed (in addition to the audible alarm) so that you can navigate back to the position at which contact with the LifeTag was lost.
