The kit pairs an electronic SOS beacon with an orange distress flag, giving boaters a compliant signaling option around the clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe beacon flashes a bright SOS distress signal in Morse code and is engineered to outlast USCG minimums, running more than twice as long as the required continuous run-time and holding constant light intensity 2.5 times longer than required. Its light source sits 4 inches above the waterline for better visibility, and SOLAS-grade reflective tape at the waterline adds further detection help. A waterproof, intuitive on\/off switch and a double O-ring closure protect the encapsulated microprocessor electronics from harsh marine conditions, and a built-in low battery indicator quick-flashes for 5 seconds to warn when batteries need replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoused in high-impact, high-visibility orange ABS plastic unibody construction, the beacon offers multiple deployment options: it floats and self-rights in the water, can be held using its molded-in plastic grips, or hung from the included lanyard. It runs on 2 D-cell batteries, which are not included. The kit ships packed in a reusable storage container and is backed by a limited 5 year manufacturer's warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 547\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-impact ABS plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Battery powered, requires 2 D-cell batteries (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.25 inches L x 5.5 inches W x 5.5 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOS Morse code flashing beacon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisibility Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light source extends 4 inches above waterline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflective Tape:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOLAS grade reflective tape at waterline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double O-Ring closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46 CFR 161.013 (Night Visual Distress Signals); 33 CFR 175.130 (Daytime Signaling)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Items:\u003c\/strong\u003e SOS Beacon and Distress Flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited 5 year manufacturer's warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal marine safety accessory; not vessel or engine specific.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Orion Electronic SOS Beacon Locator Kit 547 include?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit includes an electronic SOS beacon for nighttime signaling and an orange distress flag for daytime signaling.
