The preferred mounting method in this scenario is use
of the included installation bracket to attach the MOB
to existing lifejacket webbing/straps. In the absence of
adequately positioned webbing/straps, the included
reflective strips can be used in conjuncture with the
installation bracket as shown (see D1 in this section for
detailed description). The MOB should also be tethered
to the lifejacket as described earlier in section 3.
Once the MOB is fully attached to the lifejacket, it will
need to be activated manually by pulling the Activation
Tape when in distress.
NOTE: The reflective patches are not intended for long term external exposure.
Patches will need inspecting and possible replacement following a deployment.
E. Installation on non-inflatable (foam vest) life jackets:
NOTE: When installing the AISLink MOB using the reflective strips, it is important
to regularly inspect the reflective strips used to adhere the installation bracket to
the life jacket. These strips may not adhere well to certain fabric and the adhesive
on these strips may degrade over time, requiring that the strips be replaced.
4. MMSI configuration
If your vessel has a DSC enabled VHF radio telephone, it is strongly recommended to
program your vessel’s MMSI number into your MOB. This will allow the MOB to send the
details of the man over board incident directly to the radio and sound the alarm.
4.1 Self-Identification
The MOB is supplied with the self-identification number pre-programmed. This number is
specific to each MOB and cannot be changed. The MMSI displayed on the DSC receiver
will always start with ‘972’ irrespective of the country in which it was purchased.
4.2 User MMSI
(Applies to DSC enabled units only)
To be able to send DSC messages to your vessel, the MMSI number of the vessel needs to
be programmed into the MOB. This is achieved using the downloadable PC software or
the web programming software available on the AISLink MOB product web page.
