Meeting the demands of both commercial mariners and recreational
boaters, the new McMurdo SMARTFIND Plus heralds the arrival of the next
generation in EPIRB technology incorporating a high accuracy 12 channel
GPS for enhanced position location and comes complete with a Carry Safe
Manual Bracket.
The G5 SMARTFIND PLUS has all the advanced features of the standard
E5 SMARTFIND with the addition of an integral 12 channel GPS receiver.
The addition of a GPS receiver to the EPIRB ensures that the exact
position of a casualty is relayed to the rescue services. This can in
turn improve the speed of recovery by updating the position of the
beacon at regular intervals.
The Smartfind Plus GPS EPIRB has been designed to enhance further the
lifesaving capabilities of conventional beacons. The standard Global
Positioning System (GPS) uses an array of 27 satellites and provides
continuous positional information with a typical accuracy of around
30m. A 406MHz EPIRB such as the Smartfind Plus or Fastfind Plus PLB has
a built in GPS, when the beacon is activated in an emergency,
positional information is incorporated into the distress message which
it transmits.
This incorporation of positional information overcomes the location
problem when using geostationary satellites and can greatly reduce the
time it takes for the SAR authorities to arrive on the scene. When
speed of response and accuracy of location are important
considerations, then the Smartfind GPS EPIRB offers the best
performance.Product Features
