The H20/ERU Electric Remote Unit* (RED/YELLOW) is an EC-approved, water-activated electric release unit (ERU). Engineered for dependable performance, this electric remote unit (ERU) activates automatically at a release depth of 1.5 to 4 metres. 

*No weak link is included with this unit.

H20 ERU - Electronic Release System (RED/YELLOW) - Electric / Water Activation Liferaft Unit - HM-0405

The Hammar H20/ERU is a water-activated electric release unit designed for marine evacuation systems. Compact at just 0.3kg, it features a release depth of 1.5–4.0 metres and includes a durable white rope sling with a minimum breaking strength of 15 kN. EC-approved and supplied without a weak link, this ERU integrates with Hammar’s Electronic Remote Release Systems (ERRS). These remote systems use a control unit to send an electrical signal that activates one or multiple H20 ERUs at the push of a button.

With no limit on distance between control and release points, input sensors such as water or list angle detectors can also be added. Ideal for major, large-scale systems with multiple release points or installations over 50 metres in length.

 

Key Features & Equipment Benefits:
