Passport II, with the Vector Compact product line, now comes with an unprecedented 3-year warranty at no additional cost! Marine Air Systems introduced the Passport five years ago with these five key objectives in mind: 1) International Recognition, 2) Simplicity in Operation. 3) High Reliability, 4) Low Cost and 5) Expandability

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

The universal symbols on the display face eliminated all language barriers, providing ease of operation in the worldwide marketplace.

SIMPLICITY IN OPERATION

The simple 'set it and forget it" automatic operation can only be found in Marine Air Systems' Passport (I control. Turn the power on and select your temperature preference. The system going into cooling or heating made is now automatic, depending upon the temperature setting

HIGH RELIABILITY

Five years of continuous improvement, with respect to componentry board design and software revisions, have all led to the development of Passport II. Proven performance over the past two years allows us the confidence to extend the warranty to three years.

LOW COST

Retooling for Passport I! together with improved manufacturing techniques afforded Marine Air Systems the opportunity to pass along these cost savings in 1997, yet still holding the price for 1998.

EXPANDABILITY

When Passport was introduced in 1993, it initially replaced Marine Air Systems' Environmental Control Unit. Marine Air Systems knew that more features and benefits would be needed for Passport to keep up with customer demands. Passport II took advantage of the original "design for expandability" and brings several new features which are described in the Fall 1997 edition of Airwaves.

"All of these things were part of the original design criteria for Passport. For two years running, Passport II has exceeded every quality and reliability objective," says Marine Air Systems Director of Operations Frank Marciano.
