A personal COSPAS-SARSAT beacon with built-in-GPS
The manually activated Personal Locator Beacon, Kannad 406 XS-3
GPS, complies with class 2 of the Cospas-Sarsat global system.
Each beacon is programmed with a unique serialised code that
must be registered with national authorities.
This enables the identification of the beacon owner as well as the
environment where the beacon is used (land, air, marine). This
information is vital for search and rescue operations to gain
precious time.
A personal beacon to take in hostile environment
The beacon easily fits inside a bag, pocket, life
jacket, flying or survival suit.
It comes with an attractive and very resistant pouch
for multi-environmental use.
The beacon is buoyant, watertight and remains
attached to its pouch.
The beacon is watertight to 10 metres (5mn) according
to specifications ETSI 300 066, IEC 61097-2,
RTCM SC110 (USA), TP4522 (Canada).
A light and compact beacon, oval shaped with no
sharp edges, designed for the palm of your hand.
The beacon lies naturally flat on the ground for
optimum use in hostile conditions.
The antenna is easily unfolded when the beacon is
used. An advantage is that the antenna folds back
into place around the housing for protection.
Easy to operate and test
References
The Kannad 406 XS beacon range has proven its efficiency in
offshore races, rally Raids like the Paris Dakar, light aviation
and ULM. The KANNAD beacons contribute in the saving of numerous lives in
remote and hostile environment worldwide.
A reliable worldwide maintenance network
Wherever you may be, you benefit from an international service
and maintenance network that also provides advice on how to get
the best out of your Kannad beacon.
