Waterproof personal locator beacon

Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) The “Man Overboard” Location and Folluw-Up System facilitates search and rescue missions of sailors who accidentally fall overboard from a vessel or aircraft. The system is composed of a personal locator beacon (Indra PLB) integrated in a lifejacket (LRS001, LRS002 or BIARDO 300N) and a base receptor located on the Commanding Bridge of different types of vessel or aircraft. It does not only alert of the existence of an emergency situation, but in combination with Crx- or NMEA-receiver also allows for precise location pinpoint of crew members in distress. When a crew member accidentally falls overboard, the PLB is switched on automatically during immersion and emits an audio distress signal in the international SOS frequency of 121.5 MHz. In combination with Crx- or NMEA-receiver it is also possible to receive a signal with precise geographical positioning, thanks to a GPS micro integrated receiver. • Guarantees a greater level of security for crew members • Automatic activation when PLB contacts water • Easily integrated to life jacket or harness • Low maintenance • Minimum autonomy of 12 hours in activation mode • Minimum autonomy of 2 years in armed mode • Great coverage: at least 1.7 NM in audio alarm & 1.2 NM in data transmission The Personal Locator Beacon is applicable to aviation, transport of persons above water, offshore locations, windmill parks, watersports, fishing industry, towing service, supply vessels and inland navigation.
