Specmat
Technologies 500-27
The Series 500-27 Personal
Locator Beacons are simple,
compact lightweight units
which can be used either
manually or automatically
via
ejection seat harness. A fully
embedded 12 channel GPS
with data burst transmission
on 406.025 MHz. Fully
compatible with the majority
of
search and rescue
equipment including the
COSPAS/SARSAT satellite based
survivor location equipment.
The PLB is a one piece unit
with the
transmission housed
in a yellow pigmented or NATO
green moulded thermoplastic
case, which is designed such
that the replacement battery
pack
can be mounted within
the overall package to form a
smooth but non-slip hand
portable unit. The design is
such that easy replacement of
the
battery module (15
seconds) is possible during
beacon operation. Full speech
capability on 121.5 and 243
MHz together with an audible
tone
indicating live beacon
transmissions with GPS
lat/long position. The unit is
designed to survive for up to
ten years with the only
maintenance
being battery
replacement every five years.
The antenna (supplied) is
capable of being attached
directly to the PLB or remotely
through
a cable assembly for
operation in a dinghy.
