World's Smallest PLB with certified 10 year battery life
Release Certificate included (for aviation use)

Outdoor enthusiasts now have access to the latest in cutting edge Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) technology with the new 406 MHz Safety Alert PLB from KTi

Setting an unprecedented world standard in PLB design and performance, the new KTi Safety-Alert is compact, fast and reliable. Ideal for bushwalkers, four wheel drivers, cross country skiers and small aircraft pilots, the KTi Safety-Alert PLB is the ultimate global rescue link for people who want peace of mind in the outdoors.

Built to replace the popular KTi RB3 beacon, the new 406 MHz Safety-Alert harnesses the more accurate 406MHz COSPAS-SARSAT satellite frequency to deliver pinpoint detection accuracy and faster rescue response times.

The KTi Safety-Alert leads the world not only in design and technology, but breaks new ground in efficiency with a class leading 10 year battery life. Ultra-low current circuitry and low-loss antenna system delivers performance that exceeds the COSPAS-SARSAT requirements of 24 hours continuous transmission at -20°C.

For premium performance the KTi Safety-Alert PLB is GPS equipped with a location accuracy of down to 3.0 metres. The GPS receiver is coupled to a chip style antenna which provides high sensitivity together with superior resistance against detuning by nearby objects.

These PLBs are commonly refer to as EPIRBS, however they are more acurately called Personal Locator Beacons.

YOUTUBE REVIEW

DON'T BE FOOLED BY HIDDEN COSTS:

KTi strongly urges people contemplating a battery replacement or the purchase of a new PLB to STOP and consider the options.

A five or six year battery replacement for a 406 MHz PLB will almost cost the same as a new PLB. For a small extra cost, you can purchase a new KTi Safety Alert 406 MHz PLB with an exclusive 10 year battery and 10 year warranty.

WORLD’S FIRST & ONLY PLB WITH 20 YEAR LIFE – 10 YEAR BATTERY

Battery replacement costs every five or six years on other brands (plus freight) can effectively double the original purchase price. By the time Safety Alert PLB owners are planning their first battery replacement, owners of other brands will be forced to replace their whole beacon due to their limited service life of only 10 to 12 years.

KTi Safety Alert PLB offers the following exclusive features:

World’s first approved PLB with a 10 year battery replacement interval
20 year life with only one battery replacement
10 year warranty
Totally manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions
Approved to operate both in and out of water
PLB transmits GPS location in less than one minute after activation. Thereafter, five minute GPS updates
PLB has a 66 channel GPS accurate to three metres
When you consider that KTi Safety-Alert range of PLB sell for much the same price as other lesser products, it is easy to see why KTi can claim that their Safety-Alert PLB, with many extra exclusive features, represent half the cost or twice the value when compared to many other PLBs.
