Fully compatible with major search & rescue equipment, including COSPAS/SARSAT-based survivor location equipment. The PLB is a one-piece unit with the transmitter housed in a vibrant yellow or NATO green molded thermoplastic case, which is designed such that the replaceable battery pack can be mounted within the overall package to form a smooth but non-slip handheld unit. Thermoplastic offers strength, whilst remaining lightweight for the user.
The design allows easy replacement of the battery module (15 seconds) during beacon operation. Full speech capability on 121.5 and 243MHz together with an audible tone indicating live beacon transmissions. The unit is also designed with the only maintenance being battery replacement every five years. The antenna (supplied) is capable of being attached directly to the PLB or remote through a cable assembly for operation in a life raft. A truly multi-purpose product for unpredictable scenarios.
