Buoy Control System E603


We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here
 

E603 is a set of equipment units enclosed within a hermetic case, and performing all functions
needed for the automated control of a floating buoy or other smaller light and for the communication
with the remote monitoring and control centre. Also the self-detecting of buoy drift and
synchronisation of flashing by the GPS signals can be performed. It is designed for the long-term
operation in field conditions but without direct contact with the sea water and ice. The case is
filled with nitrogen gas
 
System components
  • Flasher E862 
  • GPS locator E931
  • Communication controller E923 or E925
  • LED lantern (E846, E847, E848 or E849) or filament lamp lantern
  • Mobile phone antenna


The flasher, the GPS locator and the communication controller are connected by the internal local area network LAN

Setting up of the systems is accomplished using a service computer

Features

  • Flashing control of the lantern
  • Data exchange with the remote monitoring and control centre
  • Daylight control of the flashing and immediate sending of the ON/OFF switching times to the monitoring and control centre and to the VTS
  • Synchronisation of flashing by the GPS signals with a given time delay
  • Buoy drift detection based on the GPS signals and sending of warning messages to the monitoring and control centre
  • Sending timing signals to the internal units, connected within  the LAN
  • Internal diagnostics of the system components, testing of the power supply voltages, and sending warning or emergency messages to the monitoring and control centre, if necessary
  • Remote setting up of the system from the monitoring and control centre
