- Manual & automatic activation upon contact with water:
The unit can be manually activated by the crew members through the ELT’s switch and is also automatically activated immersed in water.

Ultima-S is available in buoyant version, (category A) for cabin integration, and for life raft applications. Both versions can be mounted firmly either horizontally or vertically on a bracket, and requires little storage room, thanks to their compact design.
