McMurdo EPIRB, Smartfind Plus / G5 406 GPS MHz (Manual Bracket), the EPIRB with Integral GPS constantly up dates position when activated. Meeting the demands of both commercial mariners and recreational boaters, the new McMurdo SMARTFIND Plus heralds the arrival of the next generation in EPIRB technology incorporating a high accuracy 12 channel GPS for enhanced position location and comes complete with a Carry Safe Manual Bracket.
Comes with Strobe light and bracket. The G5 SMARTFIND PLUS has all the advanced features of the standard E5 SMARTFIND with the addition of an integral 12 channel GPS receiver. The addition of a GPS receiver to the EPIRB ensures that the exact position of a casualty is relayed to the rescue services. This can in turn improve the speed of recovery by updating the position of the beacon at regular intervals. Housed in a compact and robust housing, it withstands the harshest of environments.
The Smartfind Plus GPS EPIRB has been designed to enhance further the lifesaving capabilities of conventional beacons. The standard Global Positioning System (GPS) uses an array of 27 satellites and provides continuous positional information with a typical accuracy of around 30m. A 406MHz EPIRB such as the Smartfind Plus or Fastfind Plus PLB has a built in GPS, when the beacon is activated in an emergency, positional information is incorporated into the distress message which it transmits.
This incorporation of positional information overcomes the location problem when using geostationary satellites and can greatly reduce the time it takes for the SAR authorities to arrive on the scene. When speed of response and accuracy of location are important considerations, then the Smartfind GPS EPIRB offers the best performance
5-year warranty. 5-year battery life.
All EPIRBs transmit on both 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz.
- 406MHz is the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system frequency.
- 121.5 MHz is the International Aircraft Emergency Frequency, providing a homing signal for the Search And Rescue (SAR) services.
