McMurdo Fastfind PLB (Personal Location Beacon)


The McMurdo range of PLBs are designed to be carried by individuals as a last resort safeguard against any life threatening incidents that may occur anywhere in the world. Whether alone or within a group, on holiday, at work, carrying out your sport or hobby, if you ever find yourself in a remote area, land or sea, without any other form of communication, the Fastfind PLB comes into its own.

Once activated it transmits a unique identification signal via the international search and rescue satellite system operated by COSPAS SARSAT on 406 MHz.

The signal is then quickly passed to regional search and rescue authorities who can rapidly get to the scene. There are now four models within the McMurdo PLB range, the Fastfind Max and Fastfind MaxG, which have a 48 hour battery operation life and the new ultra compact Fast Find 200 and Fast Find 210 which will slip into the smallest pocket.

Fastfind PLB’s use the same advanced technology as McMurdo EPRIB’s, miniaturised into a compact and rugged, palm sized unit. They are designed to withstand the harshest of environments while still being extremely easy to operate and small enough to carry with you at all times.

Fast Find 200/210 PLB

FAST FIND is the most versatile 406 MHz emergency location beacon available. It is waterproof to 10 metres, only 106mm long and weighs just 150g. It will slip into the smallest pocket and users can be confident of being able to alert professional search and rescue services if they are unlucky enough to encounter life threatening situations, even in the most remote parts of the world.

FAST FIND complies with tough international standards. It operates on the global COSPAS SARSAT 406MHz search and rescue satellite communication system. The system is supported by international government search and rescue authorities around the world, so a call for help will be acted upon and fast.

Both models have our unique discreet antenna deployment system with simple three-stage, manual operation to prevent any risk of accidental or false activation. In its stored state, the antenna is completely hidden from view and fully protected against rough handling.

Once deployed, the antenna automatically springs into the optimum position ready for use.

The Fastfind MaxG’s integral 16 channel GPS receiver gives a typical positional accuracy of +/- 62 metres and new position updates every 20 minutes, significantly reducing the normal search area from a 28sq nm area, when given a clear view skyward.
