The ENOS Rescue-System is a specialized emergency and rescue system designed for use in water sports and maritime activities. It is primarily used by divers, sailors, and other water-based recreational enthusiasts to ensure safety and facilitate quick rescue operations in case of emergencies.

Overview

The ENOS Rescue-System was developed to address the need for a reliable and efficient method of locating individuals who have become separated from their group or vessel in open water. The system utilizes GPS technology and radio frequency communication to transmit the location of the person in distress to a receiving unit on the vessel or shore.

Components

The ENOS Rescue-System consists of two main components:

• Transmitter: A compact, waterproof device carried by the individual. When activated, it sends out a distress signal containing the GPS coordinates of the person in need of rescue.
• Receiver: A unit located on the vessel or shore that receives the distress signal and displays the location of the transmitter on a digital map, allowing for quick and accurate rescue operations.

Functionality

When a person activates the ENOS transmitter, it immediately begins transmitting their GPS coordinates. The receiver unit, upon receiving the signal, alerts the crew or rescue team and provides the exact location of the individual. This significantly reduces the time required to locate and rescue the person, increasing the chances of a successful recovery.

Applications

The ENOS Rescue-System is widely used in various maritime activities, including:

• Scuba diving
• Snorkeling
• Sailing
• Kayaking
• Fishing

Advantages

The ENOS Rescue-System offers several advantages over traditional rescue methods:

• **Accuracy**: The use of GPS technology ensures precise location tracking.
• **Speed**: Quick transmission of distress signals allows for rapid response.
• **Reliability**: The system is designed to function in harsh marine environments.
