McMURDO SMARTFIND E5
406MHz EPIRB
The Smartfind E5 is an ultra-compact 406MHz EPIRB. Once
removed from its Carrysafe mounting bracket, the unit can be
activated either manually or automatically by immersion in water.
A hydrostatic release casing is also available.
Smartfind EPIRBs are programmed with a unique serial
number which must be registered with the national
authorities. Where permitted by these authorities,
beacons can be re-programmed with the vessel's
MMSI or Radio Call Sign.
McMURDO FASTFIND MAX G
406MHz GPS PLB
Handheld PLB with integral GPS featuring the same
advanced technology found in the award winning
Precision EPIRB. Designed using miniature
components to fit into an erogonomically styled
compact casing, it employs a simple 3 stage manual
operation and features user replaceable battery
packs. It is ideal for alerting the rescue services of an
emergency during maritime,
light aircraft and outdoor
activities (where licensing
allows).

What is an EPIRB?
An Emergency Position Indicating
Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is used to alert the
Search And Rescue services in the event of an
emergency. It transmits a coded message on
the 406MHz distress frequency, which is
detected by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites.
Emergency alerts are relayed to the closest
Local User Terminal, which then forwards the
information to the Mission Control Centre where
the message is decoded. The distress details
and vessel details (taken from the registration
details) are then passed to the appropriate
Rescue Coordination Centre who co-ordinate
the relevant Search And Rescue authorities.
What’s the difference between an EPIRB
and a PLB?
Once the Search And Rescue service are in the
area, they need to pinpoint your position directly.
McMurdo’s Smartfind E5 and G5 EPIRBs contain
a 121.5MHz location transmitter for this purpose.
That’s fine if you’re with the EPIRB, but if you’re
in the water or have become separated from the
vessel, you’ll still want the rescue services to find
you quickly and easily. A Personal Locator
Beacon (PLB) transmits on the same 121.5MHz
frequency, but is designed to be carried on your
person - many quality foul weather jackets have
a pocket on the sleeve for this purpose.
And what’s a SART?
Generally deployed in the liferaft on a long pole,
a Search And Rescue Transponder (SART)
performs a similar function to a PLB, the differ-
ence being that a SART sends out a 9GHz signal
which is detected by a ship’s radar, appearing as
a dotted line pointing to your position.
