ROBUST FIXING KIT - 3 pcs. 60cm conical fiberglass tubes specially made for mounting Echomax SOLAS inflatable ball deflector EMA03i or tubular EM230i on liferafts.
"The maximum range at which a radar reflector can be detected is seriously affected by the height at which it is mounted due to wave distortion and the curvature of the earth, in conjunction with the UK MCA's Marine Notice 1481 we recommend a minimum height of 1.5m above sea level of the lower part of the reflector element.
For this purpose, we supply a three-part fiberglass rod set which can be fitted into the antenna socket of many life rafts"
Life rafts are invisible to a radar, as the only reflective object is the cylinder, which lies at the bottom of the raft and is hidden by the waves. A life raft equipped with an Echomax EMA03i SOLAS inflatable ball reflector was detected by a Norwegian search helicopter at 4nm
