The ARG 5410 hand-held receiver provides accurate, independent checks of the correct operation of COSPAS/SARSAT distress beacons, such as EPIRB, ELT or PLB.
It can be connected directly, through a suitable attenuator, or will receive the radiated signal using its own antenna. Radiated tests should be carried out using the beacon's own self-test mode, if provided, or a screened room or enclosure, such as the Sartech FC2 or QRT-101.
