The 500-32 series is the smallest certified Survival Emergency
Locator Transmitter (ELT) available in the market today. It is
suitable for installation on all types of aircraft, flight jackets, and
life rafts. Activating the ELT is easy during an emergency by
pressing the activation button or pulling the lanyard. This
beacon operates with the advanced Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz
satellite system and is equipped with an embedded GPS for
enhanced location accuracy. Additionally, it has 121.5 MHz for
further location accuracy and an optional 2-way speech
feature that allows communication with the rescue team. User
maintenance for the ELT is minimal, consisting only of battery
replacement every 7 years and a regular Built-In-Test.
