Modern configuration
The RESQUNIT mobile App
The Electronic Timer is conveniently configurable with our user-friendly mobile app named RESQUNIT ETR, available for both iPhone and Android users.
Personalized usage
As the device is fully customizable via our mobile app, it has never been easier to make a positive impact on our oceans, and to protect your valuable equipment.
Fishing Gear Protection
High predictability
With RESQUNIT's highly reliable electronic release mechanism, the likelihood of locating the buoy and retrieving your fishing gear is significantly improved.
Mitigating the loss of fishing gear
RESQUNIT offers a solution to prevent the loss of fishing gear, safeguarding both your finances and reducing ghost fishing's detrimental impact on biomass and long-term earnings.
Maintenance free
Set the timer on your RESQUNIT to 5 days if you usually haul your traps every 2-3 days. The device's smart design ensures that the yellow reserve buoy is only released if submerged for the full 5 days. During regular operations, the counter resets upon surfacing.
Different ways of use
Safeguard scientific equipment at sea
RESQUNIT is a cost-effective solution / backup buoy for securing various types of maritime equipment against loss. The buoy will pop up after being submerged for a pre-set time.
Example of use with PODS
RESQUNIT in this case can be used as a failsafe backup solution to the acoustic release, or as the primary release mechanism.
The yellow RESQUNIT buoy features a
robust hauling line capable of efficiently
handling equipment weighing up to 100
kilograms.
Additionally, for heavier gear, the
RESQUNIT can be attached to an auxiliary
cage like in the picture, equipped with a
thicker and stronger coil of line.
This cage is then securely connected to
the equipment being safeguarded

The RESQUNIT buoy’s line can haul equipment weighing up to 80-100 kg. For heavier gear the line is used as a guideline for thicker rope and a grapple using a carabiner.
This is a simple yet effective process.
Step 1 – Attach the carabiner connected to the thick line to the thin line of the Resqunit
Step 2 – Allow the grapple to glide down to the equipment on the seafloor. Use the rope to maneuver up and down until it latches onto the trap. Now you can retrieve the gear
