CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE:
Although Yachting Australia requires all crew in Category 1 and 2 ocean yacht races to carry a PLB when on deck, an EPIRB must also be carried in the yacht. Likewise, PLBs are not considered a substitute for EPIRBs when adhering to State and Territory marine regulations on the carriage of EPIRBs.

Not only is the AccuSat Series the smallest and lightest PLB on the market, they offer a massive 7 year battery replacement life, an ‘industry first’ 7 year warranty, a high intensity LED strobe and a ‘Non Hazmat’ battery pack for simple and cost effective transportation, all contributing to the unique AccuSat advantage.

The current 121.5/243 MHz analogue COSPAS SARSAT service will be terminated in February 2009 and only the 406 MHz digital beacon signals will be processed thereafter. Consumers have for some time recognised the major benefits of a 406 MHz over a 121.5 MHz device in faster, more accurate detection, personal identification of each beacon, reduced search area resulting in a faster more targeted response in a life threatening situation.

With cutting edge microprocessor technology, the AccuSat Series provide the outdoor adventurer with a 406 MHz PLB solution that is not only affordable, but provides enhanced peace of mind for boaters, bush walkers, 4 x 4 enthusiasts and aviators should they ever require emergency assistance.

IMPORTANT:

• This 406MHz beacon is coded for Australia only.

You need to purchase a beacon that has been coded with your country nationality.
