PLBs
Emergency Positioning Indicating Radio Beacons or EPIRBs are compact, buoyant and portable emergency devices specifically designed to transmit a radio distress signal to alert emergency authorities of a need for rescue. Once activated, an EPIRB will continuously transmit a specific radio signal to be detected by satellites. Following satellite detection, the emergency position and specific location data is then relayed to related authorities to begin rescue operations.

Several EPIRB models can be owner registered with a relevant rescue co-ordination authority. Following activation, an owner registered EPIRB will provide rescue operators with the owner's name and emergency contact details plus the type of vehicle/vessel needing rescue. EPIRB registration greatly improves rescue response times.

 
HOW EPIRB's WORK
One of the most important pieces of safety equipment available to any outdoor enthusiast, an EPIRB is the last line of defence for when all other means of self rescue have failed. KTi manufacture a complete range of EPIRB devices to suit all outdoor applications.
     
Mini-Sat 406Mhz PLB (personal locator beacon)

The MINI-SAT PLB emergency beacon is your global rescue link when boating, flying, bushwalking, skiing or using a 4WD. In a life threatening situation the Kti MINI-SAT should be your constant companion.
 
Mini-Sat-G 406Mhz PLB (with internal GPS)

For added levels of safety, KTi also offers the GPS equipped Mini-Sat-G making the PLB highly accurate and provides position information to geostationary satellites. The multi-helix GPS aerial design is highly resistant to shielding by nearby objects while tracking with the GEOSAR satellites.
 
RB3 mini SAT ALERT Personal EPIRB with STROBE

A 'go where you go' pocket-size emergency beacon, similar in size to a cigarette pack, supplied in an armatech carry case with belt loop and an additional neck lanyard.

Microprocessor- controlled, truly pocket-sized RB3 beacon transmits on both the 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz international distress frequencies simultaneously.

The RB3 includes a high intensity strobe light. Once activated, the RB3 strobe light can be seen at night for more than 4kms and will display the attention-attracting multiple flash sequence for up to 3.5 days.
