Echomax SOLAS radar reflectors

Echomax 180...

Due to demand for Echomax SOLAS radar reflectors for smaller boats, Echomax have announced the availability of the EM 180 radar reflector based on the proven John Firth patented stacked symmetrical array with peak responses of 8m2. We have utilised the largest possible array with the smallest possible robust polyethylene case with minimum windage and weight. The EM 180 is suitable for deck, mast mount fixing, or halyard suspension and is available in white, orange, black, yellow, and new colour khaki.

Echomax 230 Midi Original

The middle sized Echomax Polyethylene models for sailing yachts, RIBs and motor cruisers. Fully tested by QinetiQ. Exceeds RORC/ORC requirement of 10m², but fails ISO 8729 by 2° per sector.

Echomax 230 Midi Basemount

The smallest of the Polyethylene models for RIBs, powerboats and motor cruisers in a base mount version. Features four integrally moulded fixing points for stability and reliability. Super strength magnetic base version also available for airside vehicles. Chosen by the RNLI as best reflector for their fleet of 400 RIBs. After capsize tests and exhaustive sea trials, the Midi recorded 100% paints at 3.8 miles and 80% paints at 5 miles plus in sea state 'fair' although mounted only 2m above sea level. (RORC/ORC recommend 4m above sea level).

Echomax 230
