Following in the footsteps of the U.S. Coast Guard, Transport Canada has also approved the use of Sirius Signal’s flagship electronic visual distress signal device (eVDSD) as a nighttime distress signal for pleasure craft. The C-1002 — the industry’s first and only two-color distress light approved for carriage— completely and legally replaces the need to carry marine flares and includes features that enhance its functionality to the level of an alert and notification system.
The C-1002 flashes the internationally known SOS distress signal: Three short flashes, three long flashes, three short flashes, using a two-color SOS and a separate infrared SOS flash pattern (red/orange and cyan). The C-1002 is also Bluetooth-enabled with advanced mobile app connectivity, providing an additional layer of protection and communication for recreational boaters.
