The COSPAS-SARSAT Satellite aided rescue system
When a PLB is activated, the 406MHz signal may be received
by a satellite, the signal processed and data with position and digital
message then re-transmitted either in real-time or stored. The signal
is continuously down loaded until the satellite is in view of a LUT,
when the LUT receives satellite data it's directly forwarded to MCC.
The Rescue Co-ordination Centre will arrange the search and
Rescue using appropriate SAR facilities in the vicinity of the
distress location.
COSPAS-SARSAT is an international (global) search and rescue
system that uses satellites to detect and locate 406MHz emergency
beacons carried by vessels, aircraft, or individuals.
The homing signal (121.5MHz) allows SAR
facilities to "home" directly to the signal using radio direction
finders.

Beacon Test Procedure
Beacon test: (Warning: Do not remove RED switch cover)
Beacon testing should be limited to no more then once per month as each
test consumes valuable battery power and transmits signals to satellites.
Visually inspect the PLB for signs of physical damage and verify the red
switch cover is in place over activate button.
Should the switch cover be removed, the battery time expired or the
beacon fail subsequent test, return to Kinetic Technology International
Pty. Ltd. or its agents for service.
It is important that the “Replace LiFeS2 Battery”date be checked.
For safety tolerances this is at half the nominal shelf life of the battery.
To prevent inadvertent activation under NO
circumstances remove RED switch cover during TEST.
(Non-emergency operation carries severe penalty.)
1. Release antenna from PLB by sliding forward
from slot (Fig.1) & set antenna to vertical position (Fig. 2).
2. Press Blue button (approx. 1 second) until Red light
illuminates then release button and red light will extinguish.
After (approx. 1 second) white strobe light will flash then
Green light will illuminate indicating test pass.
3. Carefully place antenna around PLB and slide end-lock
back into top section slot.

Helpful operating and information notes
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights. Even people who have no
history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”while watching an PLB.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that lead to injury from falling down
or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop looking at strobe light and consult
a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Beacon Test Procedure
Beacon test: (Warning: Do not remove RED switch cover)
Beacon testing should be limited to no more then once per month as each
test consumes valuable battery power and transmits signals to satellites.
Visually inspect the PLB for signs of physical damage and verify the red
switch cover is in place over activate button.
Should the switch cover be removed, the battery time expired or the
beacon fail subsequent test, return to Kinetic Technology International
Pty. Ltd. or its agents for service.
It is important that the “Replace LiFeS2 Battery”date be checked.
For safety tolerances this is at half the nominal shelf life of the battery.
To prevent inadvertent activation under NO
circumstances remove RED switch cover during TEST.
(Non-emergency operation carries severe penalty.)
1. Release antenna from PLB by sliding forward
from slot (Fig.1) & set antenna to vertical position (Fig. 2).
2. Press Blue button (approx. 1 second) until Red light
illuminates then release button and red light will extinguish.
After (approx. 1 second) white strobe light will flash then
Green light will illuminate indicating test pass.
3. Carefully place antenna around PLB and slide end-lock

Helpful operating and information notes
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights. Even people who have no
history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”while watching an PLB.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that lead to injury from falling down
or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop looking at strobe light and consult
a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Beacon Test Procedure
Beacon test: (Warning: Do not remove RED switch cover)
Beacon testing should be limited to no more then once per month as each
test consumes valuable battery power and transmits signals to satellites.
Visually inspect the PLB for signs of physical damage and verify the red
switch cover is in place over activate button.
Should the switch cover be removed, the battery time expired or the
beacon fail subsequent test, return to Kinetic Technology International
Pty. Ltd. or its agents for service.
It is important that the “Replace LiFeS2 Battery”date be checked.
For safety tolerances this is at half the nominal shelf life of the battery.
To prevent inadvertent activation under NO
circumstances remove RED switch cover during TEST.
(Non-emergency operation carries severe penalty.)
1. Release antenna from PLB by sliding forward
from slot (Fig.1) & set antenna to vertical position (Fig. 2).
2. Press Blue button (approx. 1 second) until Red light
illuminates then release button and red light will extinguish.
After (approx. 1 second) white strobe light will flash then
Green light will illuminate indicating test pass.
3. Carefully place antenna around PLB and slide end-lock
back into top section slot.

Helpful operating and information notes
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights. Even people who have no
history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures”while watching an PLB.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that lead to injury from falling down
or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop looking at strobe light and consult
a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

The COSPAS-SARSAT Satellite aided rescue system
When a PLB is activated, the 406MHz signal may be received
by a satellite, the signal processed and data with position and digital
message then re-transmitted either in real-time or stored. The signal
is continuously down loaded until the satellite is in view of a LUT,
when the LUT receives satellite data it's directly forwarded to MCC.
The Rescue Co-ordination Centre will arrange the search and
Rescue using appropriate SAR facilities in the vicinity of the
distress location.
COSPAS-SARSAT is an international (global) search and rescue
system that uses satellites to detect and locate 406MHz emergency
beacons carried by vessels, aircraft, or individuals.
The homing signal (121.5MHz) allows SAR
facilities to "home" directly to the signal using radio direction
finders.

The system consists of a network of satellites both (polar orbiting
and geostationary), ground stations, called Local User Terminal
