Wireless Man Overboard Tag for Onboard Safety Monitoring

The Garmin MOB Tag is a compact wireless wearable for use with the Garmin OnBoard™ System, providing continuous man overboard monitoring while allowing unrestricted movement around the vessel. It can be worn using the white 20 mm quick-release wristband or attached to a compatible carabiner, and can be configured as either a captain or passenger tag through a compatible Garmin chartplotter. When the tag loses connection with the vessel, the OnBoard System initiates the corresponding MOB response based on its assigned profile.

Key Features

• Wireless MOB Monitoring: Maintains a wireless connection with the Garmin OnBoard System to detect when the wearer becomes separated from the vessel.
• Captain or Passenger Assignment: Configure the tag through a compatible Garmin chartplotter to determine the appropriate MOB response.
• Captain MOB Response: When assigned to the captain, an MOB event can trigger engine cut-off, create an MOB waypoint and activate audible alerts through the connected system.
• Passenger MOB Response: Passenger-tag activation creates an MOB waypoint and triggers audible alerts without initiating the captain-specific engine cut-off response.
• Multiple Tag Support: The Garmin OnBoard System supports simultaneous monitoring of up to eight captain and passenger tags.
• 20 Metre Wireless Range: Maintains wireless communication at distances of up to 20 m (66 ft).
• Extended Battery Life: Powered by a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery with more than 1,200 hours of connected operating time.
• Marine Water Resistance: Rated IEC 60529 IPX8 (5 ATM) for use in marine environments.
• White Quick-Release Band: Supplied in the white quick-release band configuration for convenient wrist wear.

Compact dimensions and multiple attachment options make the tag suitable for monitoring crew and passengers without a traditional tethered kill-switch lanyard. Its integration with the OnBoard System enables the vessel's electronics to respond automatically when an MOB event is detected.
