Jotron Hydrostatic Release Unit for EPIRBs - HAMMAR EPRIB H20 HRU - Hammar H20 E Hydrostatic Release for EPIRB - 86218

The Jontron Hammar H20 Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU), the premier hydrostatic release unit is designed to automatically activate*. Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) in critical situations. This innovative device streamlines rescue operations, increasing the chances of saving lives. Widely trusted by 50% of the world's EPIRB manufacturers, the Hammar H20's free-float function ensures swift activation upon water pressure increase if your vessel encounters an emergency. The unit's cutting-edge design replaces traditional rope slings with a specially developed plastic bolt, guaranteeing a secure hold until activation.

User-friendly and cost-effective, the Hammar HRU H20 Jotron minimises storage expenses and ensures easy installation, reducing downtime for your customers. As the largest-selling hydrostatic release unit globally, its simplicity, reliability, and safety features have earned it widespread approvals. The Hammar Jotron H20 is made from rust-resistant glass fiber-reinforced nylon, eliminating the need for annual service, maintenance, or spare parts. With a focus on environmental responsibility, the Hammar H20 E is 97% recyclable, aligning with sustainable practices.

*Prior to installation, it is crucial to mark the Hydrostatic Release Unit (HRU) with the relevant two-year approval mark, counting from the installation date. In the event of a vessel sinking, a spring-loaded blade within the HRU will precisely sever the securing bolt at a water depth ranging from 1.5 to 4 metres. This action ensures the unrestricted buoyancy of the Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), optimising its functionality during maritime emergencies.

Key Features & Equipment Benefits:

• Seamless Fit: Specifically designed for compatibility with Tron 40AIS, Tron 40VDR, Tron 60S, Tron 60GPS, and Tron 60AIS EPIRBs.
