Functionality: The W880 radio buoy transmits encrypted information about position, battery status, and sea surface temperature at programmable intervals. It is designed to signal lost or abandoned fishing systems and can operate continuously for up to 10 days. Activation is indicated by an LED light once inserted into the float.

Operational Details: The buoy is disabled until inserted into the float and signals activation via an LED. It can be connected and removed from the longline through a special through-hole in the float. The W830 reception system processes the transmitted data, providing a comprehensive overview of the longlines.

Additional Information: The document includes order codes for the W880 Radio Buoy and Float Mast, with a packing quantity of one each. It also suggests contacting local distributors or the technical department for data integration with mapping systems.

W880 is a radio beacon active in the HF band to signal fishing systems lost or abandoned in the sea, e.g. longline or sealine fishing systems. By sending out a message at (programmable) time intervals, it is possible to determine, via a special on-board W830 reception system, the position of longlines, any unexpected drifting due to line breaking and estimated time of arrival. Information is transmitted in an encrypted format and can only be decrypted by the radio beacon owner, and transmission times are also suitably optimised to prevent illegal interception. The high-capacity battery pack and...
