The Fast Find 211, like the Fast Find 201 is a powerful waterproof 406 distress beacon, especially configured for Australian and NZ users. However, the 211 also has a built-in integral 50-channel GPS for additional pinpoint accuracy, further speeding up time of location.
The 211 transmits two signals simultaneously, one to the subscription free global 406 MHz satellite system, and the other (121.5MHz) is to speed up the local recovery response process. Once activated, FAST FIND's signals will continue to transmit for at least 24 hours, at a powerful 5 watt output, the 406 MHz transmission ensures that a call for help gets through whatever the conditions.
The Fast Find 211 has all the features of the Fast Find 210 except that it is fitted with a fixed floatation pouch and lanyard as standard, and pre-programmed making it compliant for registration with AMSA (Australian Maritime Safety Authority). The 211 is Ctick regulated and approved for sale in Australia and New Zealand.
FAST FIND also includes a unique SOS LED flash light facility which is manually activated to further assist in speeding up the user’s recovery during night time rescues.
FAST FIND will operate in temperatures down to -20°c and its integral battery has a user storage life of 5 years, so there’s no need for constant battery changes and re-charging.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Fast Find 211 is for registration in Australia and New Zealand and should be purchased from approved suppliers and the equipment should bear the Ctick approval mark on the box. This will ensure that the unit has been properly programmed for registration and is compliant with AMSA regulations.
We do not recommend the purchase of Fast find 210 or 200 as these models are not approved for registration in either Australia or New Zealand.
...... WATERPROOF ...... COMPACT ...... LIGHTWEIGHT ...... RUGGED ......
The Fast Find is a waterproof 406 MHz Personal Location Beacon (PLB) that should be carried by individuals, who are embarking on trips into areas around the world where there is little or no other form of communication or where other forms of communication are unlikely to work. The Fast Find acts as your personal Emergency Location Beacon, it is your last resort communication to the national and international search and rescue bodies and it should not be mis-used. The Fast Find is designed as a direct communication, to the 406 MHz Search and Rescue satellite system, its signal indicates that you are in need of urgent response and assistance.
Its small size belies its rugged construction and powerful output. There is no compromise. Once activated, the distress beacon will send out a signal for help, and continues to transmit for at least 24 hours, at a powerful 5 watt output, ensuring that your call for help gets through whatever the conditions. The pocket sized, waterproof beacon transmits at the press of a button, to alert search and rescue services to your plight.
406 MHz EMERGENCY LOCATION BEACONS EXPLAINED
Emergency Location Beacons such as The Fast Find Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) are used to alert search and rescue services in the event of an emergency. They do this by transmitting a coded message on the international 406 MHz distress frequency which is relayed via satellites and earth stations to the nearest rescue co-ordination centre.
BEWARE: When registering your EPIRB with www.beacons.amsa.gov.au one of the questions they ask is which retailer you purchased the EPIRB off. As we are a genunie marine shop all of our EPIRB's come with a tax invoice that links back to our shop, this makes registering your EPIRB quick and easy. Once your EPIRB is registered if you ever need to set it off your personal details and contact numbers will come up on the AMSA's computer speeding up your rescue time. This is a very important fact.
HOW DOES FAST FIND WORK?
Fast Find has two radio transmitters which start transmitting when you activate your beacon. One transmitter operates at 406 MHz which transmits alerts via satellites. The other operates at 121.5 MHz which transmits a signal which can be received by over-flying aircraft and Search and Rescue homing receivers.
Ground stations track the satellites and process the distress signals to obtain a location of the distress. The processed information is then forwarded to a Mission Control Centre where it is combined with Fast Find registration information and passed to a Rescue Coordination Centre which alerts the appropriate Search and Rescue authorities. Successive satellite passes refine and confirm the original information.
Fast Find 211 with inbuilt GPS receivers determine their own geographical position and transmit it as part of the distress alert signal.
Fast Find has a secondary 121.5 MHz homing transmitter. This transmits on the 121.5 MHz internationally recognised aviation guard channel. If an aircraft hears an activated beacon, it will often make a report to the aviation authority which will pass this information to the Rescue Coordination Centre. When the rescue services get close they can "home in" on the 121.5 MHz signal using direction finding techniques.
If you find yourself facing grave and imminent danger with no other way of getting help, activating the Fast Find is simple. It's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3!
1. Flip up the red pull handle, Pull the antenna cover off.
Important: The antenna cover is an antitamper seal, once broken it cannot be refitted.
2. Hold the end of the antenna. Unwrap the antenna until it stands vertical.
CAUTION; Spring action antenna deployment; tilt the PLB away from your face before deploying the antenna.
3. Press the ON button.
Transmission of the first emergency alert message takes place 50 seconds after initial activation, in the event of an accidental or false
activation this delay allows time for the user to turn off the Fastfind before the first alert is transmitted

（赶在一头25-26日 12月或一尾15-16日 一月）先看你们的安排，我比较机动。但也要到你们家门口的大洋路走几天
