RB3 emergency beacons are your
rescue link when flying, sailing, boating skiing, bush
walking or four wheel driving. Whatever you go on land,
water or in the air - if you do anything that could put
you in a life-threatening situation requiring rescue.
RB3 should be your constant companion.
RB3 is a ‘go where you go’ pocket-size emergency beacon,
similar in size to a cigarette pack. It is supplied in
an armatech carry bag complete with neck strap and belt
loop or alternatively the RB3 can be fitted to your
lifejacket or emergency flotation device. In an
emergency situation the RB3 does not have to leave your
pocket. To activate, simply flick up the antenna to
vertical, extend it and push the red button. The unit
commences transmitting immediately and will continue to
do so for up to 3½ days.
The RB3 is Australia’s first microprocessor-controlled,
truly pocket-size beacon that transmits on both the
121.5MHz and 243 MHz international distress frequencies
simultaneously, giving a satellite alert and position to
the search and rescue authorities responsible for the
area.
ü
Inbuilt Strobe Light.
ü Cover seal prevents
water and dust entering a seizing the aerial.
ü Swivel aerial can be set independently of
beacon position.
ü Red LED pilot light indicates satisfactory test
and beacon on, simultaneously an audible signal confirms
transmission thereby reducing the possibility of false
activation.
ü Single push-button performs the complete system
test including aerial & activation switch contacts &
when aerial extended switches beacon on.
ü Unit is fully serviceable "NOT A THROWAWAY
UNIT".
Tether cord protected in bottom compartment.
ü
Microprocessor-controlled electronics allowing
comprehensive self-diagnostic testing not possible with
conventional Eprib design.
ü Complete with Armatech carry case, neck strap &
belt loop.
