PLBs are small portable beacons typically carried by trampers, climbers, hunters and people working in remote areas. A lot of people use PLBs on small boats and for other water-based activities, but most do not float and may not be fully waterproof. Their aerials are often not designed for use in the water. Once activated, PLBs usually have a shorter battery life than EPIRBs.

Introducing the world's smallest PLB

- 30% smaller (typ) by volume 
- Easily fits in lifejacket 
- Retractable Antenna 
- 7 Year Battery Life 
- 7 year warranty 
- High brightness strobe light >1candela 
- 66 channel GPS receiver 
- Unique mounting clip and flotation pouch

Wherever you are at sea or on land, the rescueME PLB1 provides the reassurance that emergency services can be alerted by the press of a button. The rescueMe PLB1 can be operated with a single hand in even the most challenging situations. A simple spring loaded flap covers the activation button preventing inadvertent use.

RescueME PLB1 works with the only officially recognised worldwide dedicated search and rescue satellite network (operated by Cospas Sarsat). As this is funded by governments there are NO CHARGES to use this service. When activated the rescueME PLB1 transmits your position and your ID to a Rescue Coordination Center via satellite link. Rescue services are promptly notified of your emergency and regularly advised of your current location.

The PLB1 contains Lithium batteries for long operating life. Your battery must be replaced after the expiry date or after the PLB has been activated, even if only for a short period of time. Battery replacement must be done at an Ocean Signal authorised battery replacement centre. Your PLB will require little maintenance except periodic cleaning, if required. Always use a damp cloth to clean the case and dry thoroughly. 

Beacons

Beacons (also known as distress or emergency beacons) are the most effective way of letting people know that you need urgent help and where to find you.

There are different beacon types designed for use in different environments.

- The Personal Locator (PLB) beacon is designed to be carried on the person and can be used in marine and land-based activities.
- The EPIRB (emergency position-indicating radio beacon) is the best type for use on boats and other activities on water.

Why carry a beacon?

- Due to New Zealand's rugged landscape and changeable weather, you can get into trouble very quickly.
- Radios, GPS tracking systems, distress flares, whistles, lights and mobile phones may be useful as a back-up, however, none are as effective as a distress beacon when you need help in an emergency.
- Distress beacons are one of the most reliable ways of signalling that you need help.

Choose the right beacon

Although they all work in the same way, different beacons are designed for use in different environments.

There are three types of beacons:

- EPIRBs (emergency position-indicating radio beacon) are best for boats, ships and other activities on water
- PLBs (personal locator beacon) are for those tramping, climbing, hunting and travelling to remote locations
- ELTs (emergency locator transmitter) are best for aircraft

Get a beacon?

Register your beacon

- It's free and easy
- Registration of your distress beacon is FREE and only takes a couple of minutes. Registrations can be can be submitted online, emailed or downloaded and sent through post. 

It could save your life

- Ensuring your beacon is registered with the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) is vital - a registered beacon means a quicker, more targeted response can be launched.
- RCCNZ may also be able to find out exactly who is with you, how long you have been gone, and whether anyone has any medical conditions. Rescuers will then be in the best position to help you when you are located.

 Get familiar with your beacon before you head out!

- moving your beacon - always make sure that it is in "safe" or "off" mode.
- Read the instruction manual and understand how to operate your beacon
- Check the expiry date for the battery, which is shown on the beacon label -Batteries should be replaced by your supplier or agent
- Make sure your beacon is registered and that your details are kept up to date
- Make sure it's easily accessible

Simply put, Fire Gone™ Fire Suppressant is an aerosol can that suppresses fires when the trigger is activated.  It is much more practical than traditional fire extinguishers because it is lightweight, portable and user friendly making small fires easy to extinguish rapidly and safely.  Additionally, Fire Gone™ Fire Suppressant is biodegradable and easy to clean up. Fire Gone™ Fire Suppressant works in a unique and ingenious way using a new and proprietary technology.  It delivers formulated molecules to create a vapor suppressing aqueous film seal for rapid control of fires while blocking the release of fuel vapor. Fire Gone™ Formulation then encapsulates the fire itself while forming a foam blanket that floats on the exterior of the ignited material thereby starving it of oxygen.

Features

• Forms a vapor suppressing aqueous film on hydrocarbon type fuels or a polymeric membrane on polar solvent/water miscible type fuel which starves fire of oxygen
• Environmentally safe and biodegradable
• Cleans up easily with a damp cloth and a sponge
• Easy to use - Simply pull the tab and spray
• Shoots up to 20 sec
• Lightweight and portable
• Single use, replace after usage
