No more flares - Family safe and easy to use, the C-1003 is a complete compliance kit that fulfills USCG Night, Day, and Audible distress signal requirements
Sirius Signal C-1003 SOS Distress Signal
A Complete Distress Signal Kit
The Sirius Signal eVDSD SOS C-1003 Beacon is redesigned from their original alternative to pyrotechnic flares, the wildly successful model C-1001 (discontinued 2020).
Powered by a high-performance, programmable microprocessor controlling an SOS flash pattern signal flashed through an even brighter and more potent LED, the Sirius Signal SOS C-1003 model is both family-safe and easy to use.
A family-friendly and safe alternative to the antiquated pyrotechnic visual distress flare.
Night
Visible up to 10 nautical miles, the SOS C-1003's beam lasts for hours compared to the minutes-long lifespan of traditional pyrotechnic distress.
Day
Fulfills all Coast Guard Compliant Visual Distress Signal (VDS) requirements (46 CFR 175.130) for recreational marine vessels 16 ft and over signals when combined with the included Distress Flag.
Audible
A quality Marine whistle is included to fulfill USCG audible signal requirements.
Visible up to 10 Miles
The optical design provides an omnidirectional light display for surface rescue craft and a vertical beam visible to aircraft flying overhead.
