Key Features: Compatibility: Designed for use with Halkey Roberts automatic inflators, such as V85000 (Mk IV), V90000 (Alpha), and Pro1F models. Activation Mechanism: The bobbin disintegrates upon contact with water, activating the inflation system of the life jacket. Easy Installation: Simple to insert into the inflator, with the white pill facing the cap. Shelf Life: Up to 5 years from manufacture, with 1-year lifespan for commercial use and 2 years for leisure use. Storage: Should be stored in a cool, dry environment (19–29°C) to ensure optimal performance.
