Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Battery Change Service (LB8E)

Ocean Signal rescueME EPIRB1 Battery Change Service (LB8E) | 703S-01608

This is a Return-to-Base Service we offer via our sister company Spares Marine, as an Approved Ocean Signal Service Agent, due to the battery being housed inside the EPIRB alongside the PCB. Correct watertight sealing and testing must be carried out on the EPIRB before it is returned.

Please note: The new battery expiry date will be October 2029.

The Process

• Add this item to your basket and check out
• Spares Marine will then contact you with the address to send your EPIRB
• Upon receipt, your EPIRB will receive a full inspection
• Light Pen interrogation for unique HEX identification
• The Battery will be changed (LB8E) and the seals renewed
• Counters for run time, GPS Long Tests etc. will be reset
• Tests will then be carried out to check 406, 121.5, GPS and strobe functionality
• Light Pen programming to ensure the unique HEX ID is still programmed
• Water Test, to ensure the EPIRB does not leak with its new seals
• Your EPIRB is then returned by Registered Mail to the shipping address entered at checkout

The typical turn around time for this servicing varies from as little as 24 hours, to up to 1 - 2 weeks. For urgent servicing, please Contact Us prior to placing the order.

EPIRBS and PLB's can also be dropped off and returned into one of our 4 locations, however this can add an extra 1 - 2 working days.
