RT-100 Emergency Receiver
The RT-100 Emergency Receiver (also marketed under the name “CrewGuard”) monitors the international emergency frequency 121.500 MHz. The receiver triggers an acoustic alarm whenever a signal is received on this frequency. At the same time, a relay activates external alarm devices.
In the “selective squelch” mode, an alarm is triggered only if the signal is transmitted by an emergency beacon (ELT, PLB or EPIRB ). This eliminates false alarms caused by radio frequency interference or radio traffic from aircraft that use this frequency as a calling frequency.
Application
Alert of rescue personnel in the event of distress situations at sea (man overboard) or on land
Automatic activation of rescue or alarm systems
Automatic activation of MOB function of GPS receivers
Monitoring of international emergency frequency
Testing of rescue beacons (PLBs, EPIRBs, ELTs ...)
Recognition of inadvertently triggered ELT beacons at airports to avoid unnecessary and expensive rescue missions
Special Features
High reception sensitivity for greater range
Simple operation
Selective squelch to avoid false alarms
Potential-free relay for activation of external devices
Integrated speaker and audio out for external speakers
