GME MT403
series EPIRBs are a culmination of three years of extensive R & D by GME
engineers. The end result is a radical new design concept that is not only
a significant improvement on existing beacon performance, but dramatically
slashes the cost of 406 MHz EPIRB ownership.
The GME MT403
406 MHz digital EPIRB is the latest exciting extension of GME's growing
family of innovative safety products. A key feature
of the MT403 series is the use of non-hazardous battery packs that are
IATA compliant and allow for restriction free transportation.
The MT403 also
includes a water activation feature. Once it has been removed from its
mounting bracket, the MT403 will activate automatically on immersion in
water. Of course you can also activate it manually if required.
The
MT403G has an additional 16 Channel parallel GPS receiver
with top mounted Quad helix antenna to improve location accuracy to better
than 100 meters typically.
Most
importantly, the addition of a unique digitally coded message provides
Search and Rescue authorities with vital information including the country
of beacon registration and identification of the vessel in distress thus
greatly reducing the incidence of false alerts and unnecessary deployment
of valuable rescue resources.
An auxiliary
homing transmitter is included in the MT403 series to enable suitably
equipped Search and Rescue forces to home on the distress beacon. |
