compact signal launcher d at as heet The lightweight, Comet Compact Signal Launcher contains 3 red aerial flare cartridges and a penjector firing mechanism, all enclosed in a tough, water-resistant case. The penjector is fitted with a stainless-steel spring and striker pin. It features a slot for easy loading and unloading of the flare cartridges. These are stored inside the casing on an elastic lanyard to avoid them being lost when the base cap is unscrewed. 3 Application Compact Compact Signal Launchers are designed primarily for use on yachts, dinghies, Personal Water Craft, canoes and sailboards, but have many applications as a general-purpose distress signal for aviation, hill-walking, climbing, skiing and other outdoor pursuits. Each cartridge projects its payload to a height of over 40 metres, burns for over 5 seconds at a minimum of 10,000 candela and is visible for at least 5 miles in daylight increasing to 10 miles at night, depending on weather conditions. Operating instructions are on the case. 3 Storage When not carried, the signal should be stored in our robust, specially designed Polybottle, or in a dry location at ambient temperature. 3 operation Art No. 9194700 Authorised Dealer For day or night-use only when rescue services are sighted 1.
