Small and light enough to hold comfortably in one hand yet
powerful enough to guide rescuers to within 100 meters or less of
your position in a life-threatening emergency, The ResQLink™+ 406
MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), manufactured by Cobham Beacon
Solutions-ACR Products, receives Cospas-Sarsat approval.
At just 5.4 oz (153 g) and 4.5 in (11.4 cm) tall, the ResQLink™+
offers a lot of punch in the smallest, lightest and inherently
buoyant package available today. It combines ease of use and ACR
technology to give marine enthusiasts a powerful and accurate
safety companion, ready for action at the simple push of a
button.
As well as being inherently buoyant the ResQLink™+ also features
two unique fixing loops for easy attachment to a lifejacket or PFD
with the supplied fixing strap.
With three levels of integrated signal technology-GPS
positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal, and 121.5MHz homing
capability-The ResQLink™+ quickly and accurately relays critical
emergency position to a the Cospas-Sarsat International worldwide
network of rescue satellites.
The waterproof ResQLink™+ broadcasts a unique registered
distress signal that not only tells rescuers where the sender is,
but who they are. The onboard 66 channel GPS can quickly fix
the sender's position to within 100 meters and then utilizes a
powerful 406 MHz signal to relay the distress call to orbiting
satellites. As local Search and Rescue is deployed, a separate
homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to the
sender's exact position.
Two built-in tests allow users to routinely verify that the
ResQLink™+ is functioning and ready for use-with the push of a
button, users can easily test internal electronics and GPS
functionality.
Advances in circuit board design and power management have
allowed for a smaller battery pack and continuously operating
strobe.
A PLB is a satellite-signaling device of last resort, for use
when all other means of self-rescue have been exhausted and where
the situation is deemed to be grave and imminent, and the loss of
life, limb, eyesight or valuable property will occur without
assistance. All beacons must be registered. There are no monthly
service fees required for 406 MHz beacons.
Cobham Beacon Solutions-ACR Products designs and manufactures a
complete line of safety and survival products including EPIRBs,
