ResQLink 410 RLS — Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) floating (Personal Locator Beacon) with RLS

The RLS (Return Link Service) function allows the user to receive confirmation that their distress message has been successfully transmitted to the Cospas-Sarsat network and that their position has been detected. This confirmation is indicated by a flashing blue light on the beacon, providing additional peace of mind.

The beacon transmits on two main frequencies:

A distress frequency of 406.037 MHz for transmission to Cospas-Sarsat satellites, which alert rescue coordination centers. A homing frequency of 121.5 MHz, which allows search and rescue teams to precisely locate the beacon once they are in the vicinity. It is also equipped with a multi-constellation GPS and Galileo GNSS receiver for accurate positioning.

Once activated, the ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon has an operational battery life of over 24 hours, ensuring continuous transmission of the distress signal during a critical period.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon is designed to be buoyant, which is a major advantage in the event of accidental immersion.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon is compact and lightweight. Its dimensions are 11.48 cm (L) x 5.16 cm (W) x 3.78 cm (D), and it weighs 148 g.

The beacon uses non-hazardous lithium manganese dioxide (LiMnO₂) batteries. These batteries provide excellent performance and long lifespan.

Yes, the beacon is equipped with a visible strobe light and an infrared strobe light. These lights enhance the beacon’s visibility, particularly during nighttime or low-light rescue operations.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon is waterproof. It can withstand immersion up to 5 meters for 1 hour and up to 10 meters for 10 minutes.

The beacon is designed to operate across a wide temperature range from -20°C to +55°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.

No subscription is required for the ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon to function. Once purchased and registered, it is ready for use in an emergency.

Thanks to the Return Link Service (RLS) feature, a flashing blue light on the beacon will indicate that your distress message has been transmitted to the Cospas-Sarsat network and that your position has been detected by rescue teams.

Yes, the beacon is equipped with a multi-constellation GPS and Galileo GNSS receiver, enabling precise and rapid location for rescue operations.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon has a battery life of 5 years. After this period, the battery must be replaced or the beacon must be replaced to ensure proper operation in an emergency.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon is compatible with the MEOSAR (Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue) system, improving distress signal detection and reducing location time.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon is manually activated. This prevents accidental activations and ensures the beacon is only triggered in a real emergency.

Yes, in France, registering your Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) with the ANFR (Agence Nationale des Fréquences) is a regulatory requirement. This registration links the beacon to your personal and contact information, enabling rescue teams to access the necessary data if activated.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon features an integrated test mode. This allows you to verify the proper functioning of the GPS/GNSS and 406 MHz systems and check battery status without sending a real distress signal to emergency services. Refer to the user manual for specific test instructions.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon provides global coverage via the Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellite network, ensuring your distress signal will be received regardless of your location.

The ACR ResQLink 410 RLS beacon has a battery life of 5 years. It is essential to replace the battery or the beacon before or at the end of this period to ensure its effectiveness and reliability in an emergency.

Primary maintenance involves regularly checking the battery expiration date (every 5 years) and ensuring the beacon is free of physical damage. It is also recommended to perform the built-in function test periodically to confirm all systems are operational. Store the beacon in a dry, protected location when not in use.
