Ship receiver RT-500-M

man-overboard alarm systems

The RT-500-M is a multi-band direction finder system that operates on all frequency bands used for rescue missions. This direction finder automatically monitors the emergency frequencies 121.500 MHz, 243.000 MHz and 406.028 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat) as well as channel 16 of the marine band. The bright TFT display permits a clear overview of all direction finder information and operating parameters. A convenient menu structure makes it possible to adapt the RT-500-M direction finder system to the needs of the user. Various interfaces (LAN, NMEA RS-422, RS-232) facilitate integration of the direction finder system in legacy or planned system environments. Application The RT-500-M direction finder system fully meets the steadily increasing needs of modern civilian and military search-and-rescue organizations. Emergency beacons that operate on the 406.028 MHz Cospas-Sarsat frequency can be reliably identified and localized. Like all RHOTHETA direction finder systems, the RT-500-M features complete MOB functionality to ensure the safety of SAR crew members. That makes the RT-500-M direction finder system a complete solution for professional SAR organizations. Although the RT-500-M was optimized for use in high sea states, this direction finder system is also suitable for stationary VTS applications. Special Features Universal multi-band direction finder: VHF aviation and marine band, UHF aviation band, Cospas-Sarsat frequency Automatic monitoring of emergency frequencies during work on other frequency bands High reception sensitivity to permit detection of extremely weak or distant signals High direction finder accuracy, precise and stable display
