Deep-draft stability, extended vertical platform and dual-battery provision

1800 mm Float | 2960 mm Draft | 1950 kg Displacement | 6090 mm Overall Height | 2 × 100 Ah Battery Provision

Deep-Draft Configuration for Vertical Stability

The DX-EB1800 uses an extended underwater structure to create a 2,960 mm operating draft.

Its centre of gravity is positioned below the centre of buoyancy, forming a balanced vertical mass arrangement that supports the buoy's upright operating condition.

Extended Vertical Platform for AtoN Equipment

With an overall height of 6,090 mm, the DX-EB1800 provides an extended vertical structure for mounting navigation and monitoring equipment above the main float body.

The configuration can accommodate:

• Marine navigation lantern
• RACON
• Passive radar reflector
• Battery box
• Other project-specific AtoN equipment

Power Provision for Integrated AtoN Systems

The buoy provides space for up to 2 × 100 Ah lithium batteries, allowing the power system to be configured around the installed AtoN equipment.

This is useful for projects combining navigation, detection or monitoring devices that require a dedicated onboard power arrangement.

Configured Around the Final Deployment

The removable ballast block can be configured for different water depths and mooring chain sizes.

Tower material, structural height and waterline can also be selected according to project conditions, allowing the final buoy configuration to be matched before deployment.

Suitable Applications

The DX-EB1800 is particularly suited to:

• Marine navigation marks requiring an extended vertical structure
• Floating AtoN systems carrying multiple electronic devices
• Projects requiring substantial onboard battery provision
• Navigation marks requiring a deep-draft configuration
• Projects with site-specific ballast and waterline requirements

When to Choose the DX-EB1800

The DX-EB1800 is a suitable choice when the project requires:

• An 1800 mm elastomer navigation buoy
• A 2,960 mm deep-draft configuration
• An extended vertical AtoN platform
• Centre of gravity below the centre of buoyancy
• Provision for up to 2 × 100 Ah batteries
• Project-specific ballast and mooring configuration

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the DX-EB1800 use such a deep draft?

The extended underwater structure forms part of the buoy's vertical mass arrangement, with the centre of gravity positioned below the centre of buoyancy.

How much battery capacity can be installed?

The buoy provides space for up to two 100 Ah lithium batteries, subject to the final equipment and power configuration.

Can RACON and other AtoN equipment be integrated?

Yes. The buoy can be configured with a marine lantern, S-band or X-band RACON, passive radar reflector and other project-specific equipment.
