RT-100 PLB emergency alarm receiver "Crewguard"
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. The RT-100 is also provided with the internatiol test frequency 121.650 MHz
The RT-100 suits very well at oil & gas platforms for protecting high risk jobs like scaffolding, welding & painting jobs.
The RT-100 is very well-known reliable piece of equipment in controlrooms at oil & gas offshore platforms.
- External alarm output for integration in general alarm systems.
- Standard Test and Exercise frequency 121.650 build in for training.
- Optional relay modes like N.O., N.C. or failsafe mode are availible on order.
RT-303 VHF + PLB Radio Direction Finder
The RT-303 is a very small sized professional versatile radio Direction Finder, for the 
VHF-marine band and the AIR-band. The RT-303 is very well suited for medium to small vessels, like patroll vessels, watch-vessels, Pilote tenders etc.. A gyro- or GPS- compass can be NMEA coupled to maintain a true-heading radio bearing all times. A NMEA data radio bearing output is foreseen for presentation in ECDIS systems. The front panel shows a compass-scale bearing for homing and the LCD display shows the true-bearing and PLB-I.D. number.

RT-500 VHF + PLB + 406-EPIRB Radio Direction Finder
The RT-500 is the undefeated top-quality of its kind. The RT-500 is a most professional directio
n finder for the VHF-marine band, VHF-air band and 406-EPIRB band The RT-500 best suits on seagoing rescue vessels, coastguard vessels, guard vessels etc.A gyro- or GPS- compass can be NMEA coupled to maintain a true-heading radio bearing all times. A NMEA data radio bearing output is foreseen for presentation in ECDIS systems. The RT-500 has a dual- or Tri- watch over all bands. The Bright TFT display garantuee a visible reading in sunlight, a display-sleep function avoids dazzling at the bridge at night. The RT-500 can fully remote controlled by ethernet.
