GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Accusat™ MT600 and MT600G digital Emergency Position Indicating Radio
Beacons (EPIRBs) are designed to be used when the safety of your craft and crew is
endangered and you have no other means of communication. The EPIRB can save
your life and the lives of others on board by leading an air/sea rescue to your precise
location. In the past, extensive and lengthy searches have been carried out for missing
craft, sometimes to no avail.
Your GME EPIRB is a self contained 406 MHz radio transmitter that emits an
internationally recognised distress signal on a frequency monitored by the COSPAS-
SARSAT satellite system. The MT600 and MT600G EPIRBs contain a unique identity
code which can be cross referenced to a database of registered 406 MHz beacons,
allowing the beacon’s owner and vessel to be immediately identified in the event of
an emergency. All models can be manually activated by the operator in an emergency
situation.
Additionally, each unit includes an ultra high performance solid state strobe and 121.5
MHz VHF homing beacon to assist in guiding rescuers to your precise location.
The MT600G model also features an integrated 66 channel GPS receiver which
automatically acquires a position and relays the latitude and longitude of the beacon
along with the personal identifier and emergency signal.
