500-27-07 Multi Function PLBs PLUS Embedded GPS

500-27-07 Series Locator Beacons Plus Embedded GPS

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.
