Technologies 500-27-07
The Series 500-27-07 Personal
Locator Beacons are simple,
compact lightweight units
which can be used either
manually or automatically
via
ejection seat harness.
Incorporating a fully
embedded 12 channel GPS
with data burst transmission
on 406.025 MHz, the unit is
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.
