Product Details
Active-X Active Radar Reflector (EMACTIVEXM) by Echomax®. Stated Performance Level - QinetiQ. Active RTE are increasingly being used on navigation buoys. The Active X has FCC Approved ID: XZMACTIVE-X - NATO stock number 5840 99 904 3941. State of the art Echomax Active-X-Band Radar Target Enhancer receives a signal from transmitting radar, amplifies and returns a stronger signal. This increases the likelihood of detection reducing the risk of collision and helps to alert oncoming vessels of your position. Active RTE are increasingly being used on navigation buoys and their estimated power consumption can be seen using this link. Non use of the control box saves 10mA of power. CONTROL BOX: Surface mount for interior installation or flush mount fitting with optional flush mount kit. See Flush Mount Kit for info, EMFMKM.
Notes
- Suggested Vessel: Sail Boats, Tankers, Cargo Ships, Passenger Ships
- This is a Special Order product and, therefore, Non-Cancellable and Non-Returnable once it is Used or Installed
- Non use of the control box saves 10mA of power

Features
- Engineered to high standards
- High-grade design delivers extended lifespan
- Made with premium materials
State of the Art Echomax Active-XS-Dual Band Radar Target Enhancer with minuscule current draw of 23mA on stand by and very high X and S band response many times the new ISO 8729-2 standard. Unique visual facility to identify S or X Band Radar paints. Quadruple alarm facility as standard. The Active-XS amplifies and returns a stronger signal and these high responses to both X or S Band Radar increase the likelihood of improving your vessels radar cross section and helps to alert oncoming vessels of your position and detection especially in poor conditions and thereby reduces the risk of collision. The Active XS has FCC Approval ID: XZMACTIVE-XS - NATO stock number 5841-99-269-3512.
Echomax® was formed in 1998 following the purchase of John Firths third patent which was based on a revolutionary symmetrical three stack twelve corner array. When viewed from the horizon there is a fully open orthogonal corner facing you and one about to open or close. Since then Echomax® radar reflectors have become one of the best known passive radar reflectors in the world. From early sales to pleasure vessels they are now fitted by many of the leading buoy manufacturers in Europe, Australia, USA, Canada, Port and Harbour Authorities world wide. Many foreign Navies including US Nuclear Submarines, The Dutch,French,USA, Danish, Swedish, UK Navies and others use Echomax.
