The 500-32 Series Personal Locator Beacons are simple, compact lightweight units which can be used either manually or automatically via ejection seat harness. The PLBs are compatible with the majority of search and rescue equipment including the COSPAS/SARSAT satellite-based survivor location equipment. Versions are available featuring embedded 12 channel GPS with data burst transmission on 406MHz, further improving location accuracy and detection time.
The PLB is a one piece unit with the transmitter housed in a moulded thermoplastic non-slip compact case, incorporating replaceable batteries mounted within the overall package. The design allows for easy replacement of the batteries during operation. Standard features include an LED and audible tone indicating live beacon transmissions and full self-test capability. An operator may reprogram the PLB using an optional reprogramming adaptor.
