2. Product and Performance
Description
2.1. Use for intended purpose
The easyONE-DSCCL is a portable, battery-operated AIS MOB
(Man over Board) and DSC distress transmitter with an inte-

Page 6
grated GNSS receiver. The device is intended for the usage
in combination with an automatic life jacket. The device
has a manual release mechanism and an automatic release
mechanism by water contact. The AIS MOB easyONE-DSCCL
is oatable without the need of any otation aids.
The AIS / DSC distress transmitter is designed for usage in
distress situation for alerting via:
• AIS: All AIS receivers within transmission range of the
AIS MOB
• DSC Closed Loop: Only pre-programmed MMSIs of DSC
receivers within range
• DSC Open Loop: All DSC receivers within range of the
transmitter
These recipients get information about the event of a
distress situation as well as the current position.
A transmission of position report in DSC closed loop is
possible to up to 8 different MMSIs, if they are already pro-
grammed into the easyONE-DSCCL device (programming can
be done easily with an iOS or Android device via Bluetooth)
A position report transmission in DSC open loop can be
trig-gered manually once by pressing the TEST button for 5
seconds during ALERT mode.
=> Responsible regulating authority can provide country
specic information if DSC open loop is allowed in your
area.
The easyONE-DSCCL device is compliant to the world wide
used AIS System (Automatic Identication System) and DSC
radio system (Digital Selective Call).

4.1. Alarmap
The transparent plastic cover (4) in the upper
frontal section of the device serves to avoid
false alarms and locks the antenna
ap (3) at the same time.
4.2. “ON” button
The easyONE-DSCCL can be activated manually by
pressing the “ON“ button (8).
Parallel to the AIS Signal a DSC
distress call is broadcasted.
(only to pre-programmed
MMSI numbers)
(more information for alert
functionality see chap. 5.1)

Page 9
4.3. “TEST” button
The device can be activated for an electrical
function test by pressing the “TEST“ button (7).
In addition to the AIS test message
an one-time DSC distress call is
sent to all pre-programmed MMSI
numbers. The red LED FLARE is also
activated once.
During test transmission the red
LEDs are blinking.
4.4. Antenna
The antenna (5) is rolled up in the upper section of the
transmitter. It’s locked by a water soluble pill (12) and the
alarm and antenna ap. When the antenna ap (3) was
triggered upon water contact or the
alarm ap (4) was removed manually
the antenna unfolds independently.
The device activates automatically
upon water contact without requir-
ing user intervention.

Page 10
5. Operation
The easyONE-DSCCL is oatable without
any oatation aids.
During heavy sea the oating AIS MOB
easyONE-DSCCL may take a longer time
to get the position information by
GNSS.
The best AIS transmitter and GPS
receiver performance will be achieved
by holding the distress transmitter with
your hands as far away from the water
as possible.

5.1. ALERT
5.1.1. Automatic Activation
The AIS/DSC MOB easyONE-DSCCL is designed for carrying
it in an automatic life jacket. If falling into the water, the
life jacket opens and the oating body inates due to the
water contact. As a result, the transmitter gets into the wa-
ter and the antenna is released. If the antenna is unfolded,
two contacts are exposed through which the transmitter
activates independently upon concurrent water contact.
The white FLASH LED (11) and the yellow GPS Status LED (10)
are indicating the operating status.
5.1.2. Manual Activation
For manual activation, the alarm ap (4) is torn off from
the device by using the yellow seizing (9). As a result the
rolled up and taut antenna (5) can unfold. The “ON”
button (8) is now exposed and can be pressed in order to
trigger the emergency signal.
When activating manually,
keep the device away from your face!
5.1.3. Functionality
AIS
Upon an automatic or manual activation of the AIS MOB
easyONE-DSCCL in an emergency, an AIS signal is generat-
ed which is received by all ships in the proximity that are

Page 12
equipped with an AIS receiver.
This distress signal includes:
• Current GNSS position information
• Current COG and SOG
• Text message “MOB ACTIVE”
• Unique serial number of the device (MMSI)
• Navigational Status 14 (AIS Search and Rescue
Transmitter active)
Usually the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like an AIS S.A.R.T.
as a circle symbol on the electronic display / chart
(System update of display / chart may be necessary):
On earlier systems, it appears as a ship symbol
The 9-digit “Unit-ID” (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, be-
ginning with “972....” and a safety Message (SRM) “MOB
ACTIVE” are displayed and an audible and/or visual alarm is
triggered, respectively.
DSC Closed Loop
Within seconds after the activation a rst DSC alerting of all
pre-programmed MMSI numbers is send out in closed loop
mode. This transmission contains the unit ID of the distress
transmitter, but no position information details because
there is still no x with the satellite.

Page 13
As soon as the position x is established, a next DSC distress
call in closed loop is transmitted to all (up to eight) num-
bers on the list with current position. This DSC broadcast
will be repeated after 5 minutes, later on every 10 minutes.
DSC Open Loop
Country-specicregulationshavetobeobservedbythe
user, as the activation of the DSC Open Loop is an alarm in
the GMDSS rescue chain!
Please note in addition that a DSC emergency call, but even
a false triggering, can trigger a charge. Handle the device
with care to avoid false alarms!
Pressing the „ON“ button for more than 5 seconds will
trigger an one-time DSC open loop transmission which
can be received by every DSC system within range. As an
acknowledgement for this, the red FLARE LEDs will ash for
a second.
This single one-time DSC open loop distress call will not
interfere other functionalities of the AIS MOB unit
easyONE-DSCCL. After this broadcast this unit will fall back
into DSC closed loop distress call automatically. Persistent
AIS transmission will be done parallel.
Red LED FLARE
In event of triggering AIS and DSC emergency transmission,
the strong red LEDs of the electronical safety FLARE start
ashing within same clock rate as the white ash LEDs do.
The FLARE will ash every 2 seconds. As longer the AIS MOB
is in alert mode, the ashing time reduces but the intervall

Page 14
will stay at every 2 seconds.
5.2. TEST functionality (MOB TEST)
Please check the transmitting function of the AIS MOB
easyONE-DSCCL on a regular basis. An annual or semi-annual
test is usually sufcient. Too frequent testing reduces bat-
tery capacity. The battery is designed for 7 years and more
than 30 test activations.
The antenna mechanism does not have to be triggered for
the function test!
Carrying out the test:
• Leave the antenna rolled up inside the device.
• Press the “TEST” button (7) and make sure that the
easyONE-DSCCL has a clear view to the sky in order to
have good GNSS reception conditions.
• As a sign that the test mode has been started, the
FLASH LED (11) and GPS Status LED (10) light up for
one second. Subsequently the GPS Status LED (10) is

Page 15
permanently on. Once a position information is
received, the GPS Status LED (10) starts ashing.
The easyONE-DSCCL start sending a bundle of AIS
messages with the content “MOB TEST”
• You can check the transmission of the AIS MOB
easyONE-DSCCL by using commercially available AIS
receivers which needs to be connected to a chart
plotter or laptop with navigation software. Usually
the easyONE-DSCCL is displayed like an AIS S.A.R.T. as
a circle symbol on the electronic display.
On earlier systems, it appears as a ship symbol. The
9-digit “Unit-ID” (MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL,
beginning with “972....” and a safety Message (SRM)
“MOB TEST” are displayed and an audible and/or
visual alarm is triggered.
• In addition to the AIS telegrams, a DSC telegram is
sent to the optionally programmed MMSI numbers.
• The DSC transmission takes place immediately after
switching on without position. AIS transmission with
position only after position x.
• The DSC transmission can be checked with a DSC
enabled radio. As information, the 9-digit “Unit-ID”
(MMSI) of the easyONE-DSCCL, starting with “972 .....”
and the message “TEST CALL” is displayed
• If, for any reason (barrier by large buildings; no “clear
view” to the sky), a GNSS position cannot be received,
the device sends after ve minutes a bundle of AIS
telegrams without a position and switches off
automatically.

Page 16
• The test mode may be terminated early by pressing
the “TEST” button (7) (for more than 3 seconds). The
LEDs stop ashing and the device switches off.
• At the end of test mode, before the unit is switching
off automatically, the LEDs will display the test result
for 4 seconds:
