Personal Locator Beacons	406 MHz & 121.500 MHz
406 MHz Satellite Alert & Locator Beacon	The TerraFix™ 406 GPS PLB provides distress alerting via radio transmission on 406 MHz to satellites of the COSPAS-SARSAT network and to the GEOSAR network that includes GPS latitude and longitude coordinates when GPS data is present. The message transmitted by the TerraFix™ 406 GPS is unique for each PLB, which provides identification of the transmitter through computer access of registration files maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or other National Authority. Remember, if your PLB is not registered, Search and Rescue (SAR) Authorities do not know who you are, or how to contact anyone who might know anything about your situation.
121.5 MHz Homing Beacon	Short Range Pinpointing - Once the TerraFix™ 406 GPS signal (406 MHz) is relayed through the LEOSAR and/or GEOSAR network, SAR forces determine who is closest, then track the signal using the 121.5 MHz homing frequency for intermediate and short-range location. Most Rescue Forces Are Equipped With 121.5MHz Direction Finder Homing Beacon Technology.
Battery Witness Seal Life	ACR Strongly Recommends Performing The Self Test On The TerraFix™ GPS On A Monthly Routine. If your PLB flashes an initial Red LED at the beginning of the Self Test, this indicates that your electronic witness has been broken and you have used more than 1 hour of battery life. While the PLB will still operate normally in an emergency, ACR strongly recommends you have your battery replaced and the electronic witness reset to ensure that you will have 24 hours of battery power should you ever need to activate your unit in an emergency.
Self Test	PLB With Built-In GPS Tests: Data Integrity and Memory; 406 MHz Synthesizer; RF Power/Battery; GPS header PLB Without GPS Built-in Test: Data Integrity and Memory; 406 MHz Synthesizer; RF Power/Battery
GPS Interface	Both TerraFix™ PLB Models Comes With A External GPS Data Input Port. Interface Technology: Optical Infrared-Light Port. Data Format Required: 'NMEA 0183' Version 1.5 or Greater. External GPS Receiver Requirements: The GPS Receiver Must Have A Data Output Port And Provide A Data Output Format Called 'NMEA 0183'. A GPS Serial Data Cable For The Specific GPS Model Will Be Needed. A TerraFix GPS Serial Interface Cable Assembly Is Also Required. Check The GPS Receiver System's Data Output Specifications And Make Sure There Is A Way To Set The Data Format Output To 'NMEA 0183'. The TerraFix GPS Serial Interface Cable Assembly Is Equipped With A Standard 9-pin Female Serial Connector. GPS-Data Format: The TerraFix Requires The NMEA Sentence 'GPGGA'. The GPS Data Output Format Must Be Set To 'NMEA GPGGA' (Also Referred To As 'GGS', or 'GGA NMEA'). GPS Cable Length: ACR Electronics recommends a maximum length of 400 feet, using 24 AWG wire. Refer To The GPS-Receiver Systems' Owner’s Manual For More Detailed Information Function: The External GPS-System's Computed Coordinates Are Added To The TerraFix's Emergency Output Signal. SAR Teams Are Then Able To Narrow The Search Area Down To 100 Meters, (110 Yards). The Standard Accuracy Ring Of A Good GPS-Receiver-System's Location Fix. The TerraFix PLB Can Be Forced To Update The Transmitted GPS Fix, By Pressing The 'GPS Button', When The Beacon Is Off. The TerraFix PLB will hold the last GPS coordinates in memory for 4 hours before returning to the default.
