Description

Note This product contains a lithium battery and cannot ship USPS.

The GME MT403G has all the same features and specifications as the model MT-403, PLUS a 16 Channel parallel GPS receiver with top mounted Quad helix antenna to improve location accuracy to better than 328 feet

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.

Advantages of a 406 MHZ EPIRB over the older analogue EPIRBs include, world wide coverage, position location accuracy to within 5 kms and a more stable transmitted signal resulting in faster response time. 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 unneccesary deployment of valuable rescue resources. An auxiliary homing transmitter is included in the MT403 to enable suitably equipped Search and Rescue vessels to home in on the distress beacon.

Features:

  • Integral 16 Channel Parallel GPS Receiver with top mounted Quad helix antenna to improve location accuracy to better than 326 feet
    • GPS Cold start aquisition is less than 90 seconds.

  • Ground breaking microprocessor based design, delivers unparalleled performance and value.
  • Antenna deploys automatically when the unit is removed from the quick-release mounting bracket.
  • Zero warm-up Digital Technology
  • Automatically activates on immersion in water (when removed from the bracket) or can be activated manually if desired.
  • High intensity solid state strobe.
  • 6 Year battery life.
  • Non-hazardous batteries for restriction free transportation.
