SEEKER RADAR DETECTABLE SURFACE MARKER
BUOY
The SEEKER Radar detectable inflatable surface marker buoy is
a visual marker combined with a radar detectable device and
is ideal for all types of adventure sports as well as divers,
snorkelers, swimmers and other applications for search and rescue
situations.
The SEEKER Radar detectable surface marker buoy
is detectable using radar systems from boats/helicopters or
any radar seeking equipment. This system has a proven radar
range of one and half miles from boats and a two mile range
from helicopters in mild to moderate sea conditions but its
signal may continue to be received intermittently in more severe
circumstances. This particular system has been designed to work
inside inflatable surface marker buoys. Using a conductive material
and shaped to receive and send back radar signals the marker
buoy reflects the radar signals enabling search and rescue services
to locate the position within a distance of two miles and would
be ideal to locate personnel in emergencies such as fog and
night time rescue situations.
The SEEKER system can also be used by snorkelers and swimmers
who may possibly not be seen by oncoming vessels and would also
be detectable if lost at sea.
The SEEKER system is configured within an inflatable buoy
which is tubular in shape, and is manufactured from high visible
flow orange waterproof polyurethane coated in nylon. In addition,
many high visible colours will also be made available. The
SEEKER radar conductive shape is positioned inside the top
part of the inflatable buoy and is welded to the inside walls
of the buoy. When the SEEKER buoy is inflated the radar construction
inside unfolds and is formed to operate.
The SEEKER buoy may be inflated in four different ways:-
1. By blowing through the oral tube.
2. The oral tube has a non locking nipple fitting which the
user can connect to hold a scuba divers low pressure inflation
hose fed from a first stage regulator.
3. By replacing the blanking plug system inserting a din pillar
then fitting 0.1 litre air cylinder to releasing the air from
the cylinder into the buoy.
4. By inserting a scuba divers second stage regulator and
purging into the bottom of the SEEKER buoy.
Both the oral tube and the bottom of the SEEKER buoy have
non-return valve systems to prevent the air from escaping. To
avoid over inflation, an overpressure valve is fitted to the
SEEKER buoy. The same overpressure valve has a pull cord which
facilitates deflation of the system. When the SEEKER buoy is
fully inflated it may also be used as an additional flotation
device at the surface. Once the SEEKER buoy has been fully deflated
it can be rolled and fastened neatly for storage.
