Fog Signals

Essi-patented FaradicWave omni-directional fog signals are durable, efficient and solid. With 0.5 to 2 nautical miles (audible equivalent) capacity, FaradicWave fog signals emit a 360-degree beam of sound in the horizontal plane. Requiring no heavy lifting equipment, they are also easy to install and maintain.

APPLICATION

Standard applications include marking of artificial islands and fixed structures, oil/gas platforms, drilling rigs, barges, buoys, channels, bridges and docks. And now outfitted with the capability to store and transmit operational data, FaradicWave fog signals provide enhanced support through Essi’s remote monitoring system.

DESIGN

The smallest in their class, the 2nm (Class A) and .5nm (Class B) fog signal amplifiers are approved by the United States Coast Guard as well as Factory Mutual (FM) and C&D (hazardous) approved.

Minimizing the need for dedicated personnel to physically inspect remote devices, Smart Field monitoring reduces your overall cost, exposure and liability.

 

Through alerts sent via email, text or voice, our customers are immediately aware of any device outage, low voltage, fault, malfunction or incident of non-compliance.
Monitored data includes:

 

  • Battery voltage
  • Lantern Operational Status (on/off state)
  • Fog signal operational status (2 hour delay, horn muted)
  • Faults and malfunctions (driver failure)

 

Essi’s proprietary Smart Field technology collects and transmits operational data from our BrightStar Class A 3nm-5nm lanterns and.05 or 2 nautical mile fog signals via an SSL secured interface.

Smart Buoys

Ensure life-time buoyancy with Essi’s Smart Buoys. Equipped with GPS-enabled tracking and 24/7 monitoring capability as well as perimeter alarm warning, Smart Buoys utilize high density floats for one-third less weight than that of their steel counterparts.

APPLICATION

For safe surface navigation and commercial fishing gear, our buoys with a customizable quick flash light can be used to mark artificial submerged structures, downed structures or hazards. They are also engineered for marking well heads, channels, open sea, lakes, bays, rivers, bayous, active traffic zones, sub-sea pipelines, tankers and/or barge anchoring points, salvage sites and drilling rig mooring systems.

DESIGN

The Smart Buoy is a durable, practically indestructible/unsinkable polyethylene buoy. The Smart Buoy was designed to meet the strict requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security (USCG) and the US Department of Interior, Minerals Managements Service and carries the FM Approval Class 1 Division 2 certification for hazardous areas.

Configuration

These smart buoys are ideal for high seas and coastal areas and are available in three colors. Determining factors for color include location, placement of buoy and water depth of the hazard. With custom configurations available including dual marine lanterns, audible fog signal and answering radar beacon (racon), contact Essi to discuss which product is best suited for your needs.
