Echomax radar reflectors<br />
& radar target enhancers<br />
<strong>Hydrosphere</strong> supply radar reflectors and radar<br />
target enhancers for use on a range of fixed and<br />
floating structures including navigation buoys, data<br />
buoy platforms, renewable energy sites and oil and<br />
gas structures.<br />
The Echomax 305 FPMS is a high response radar reflector chosen<br />
by Trinity House, the Northern Lighthouse Board, Navies and<br />
major ports and harbours around the world. It can be easily fitted<br />
with a self-contained solar light such as the Carmanah M650 or<br />
the Vega VLB-2. Alternatively, standalone LED lights such as the<br />
Vega VLB-36 can be mounted with side tubing to accommodate<br />
a wire to a battery in the base of the buoy.<br />
The ECHOMAX Midi Basemount radar reflector is the smallest<br />
in the polyethylene Midi product range. It is suitable for fitting onto<br />
a range of navigation buoys or fixed offshore structures.<br />
The Echomax Active-XS Radar Target Enhancer receives a<br />
signal from a transmitting radar, amplifies it and returns a stronger<br />
signal to both X and S Band Radar, helping to alert oncoming vessels<br />
of a buoy’s/structure’s position.<br />

returns a stronger signal on the X Band Radar.<br />
