PLOMO-500 AIS Sart (Search & Rescue Transponder)
The Latest SART Technology
AMEC AIS SART (Search And Rescue Transmitter) PLOMO-500 complies with IEC 61097-14 specification. It is designed to be an alternative to Radar SART. PLOMO-500 can transmit GPS positions, Unique ID, COG, and SOG every minute once activated. It allows the rescue team to locate the survivors rapidly through the broadcasted AIS information and, ultimately, gives the survivors a better chance to survive.
User-Friendly Operation
AMEC PLOMO-500 is not only the AIS SART itself but also a complete survival/distress solution of all other essential accessories of AIS SART. The solution comes in a survival bag, and during emergency times, it is all what user needs to carry on his/her back. The setting operation is easy; it only requires 4 simple steps.
Backlit Panel and LED Indicator Integration
AMEC PLOMO-500 has a backlit operational panel, which allows users to see the buttons in a dusky environment. Moreover, the main unit has an overusage design to indicate if the battery life has been compromised due to excessive testing or it had been activated previously. Also, to increase the chance of survival, the unit’s LED indicator signals an “SOS” distress message during activation for the survivors to be easily spotted by the rescue team.
