Description

The MT610G is a very compact, lightweight PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) from the Australian manufacturer GME.

It transmits the emergency alarm including the exact GPS position via Cospas-Sarsat (406 MHz). The 121.5 MHz frequency is also used for homing.

Before delivery, the MMSI of your ship must be programmed into the PLB.

To do this, please select the initial programming (item no. 3957-000) under "Accessories & spare parts". In the last step of the order process, you can enter the required ship data under "Remarks": Ship name, MMSI, IMO no., call sign, flag.

Would you like to use the PLB on different yachts or in a sea kayak? Then the initial programming (item no. 3957-000) is also mandatory for this PLB. Please indicate under "Remarks" in your order whether you require a British or an Australian device ID. You can then use this device ID to register the PLB in the UK or Australia yourself via this website (for the UK or Australia).

Activation is done by switching on the device manually. The emergency signal is sent after 30 seconds at the earliest. Due to the digital frequency processing, no warm-up time is required. The device automatically carries out an extensive internal test and provides information on the result via LED displays.

Initial programming EPIRB/PLB
description: Erstprogrammierung EPIRB
Initial programming of a new device purchased from us!An EPIRB - and therefore also a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) - i.e. a COSPAS-SARSAT satellite radio beacon is generally subject to registration in Germany.Both EPIRBs and PLBs are registered on a ship-by-ship basis. This means that the MMSI of your own ship is programmed into the device, which - unlike with a radio - you cannot do yourself. Alternatively, the PLB can also be registered in the UK on a device/person basis.Therefore, please enter the required ship data in the last step of the order under "Remarks":Ship nameMMSIIMO no. (if available)Call signFlagYou can also send us a copy (e-mail attachment) of the first page of your Ship Station Licence (certificate of assignment).You will receive the corresponding coding certificate (including 15-digit HEX ID code, "protected message") with the device, which you submit to the Federal Network Agency, Hamburg field office.The form for the "Application for the allocation of numbers of the mobile maritime and inland waterway radio call sign, MMSI and ATIS for recreational navigation (SHIP STATION LICENCE)" is used for new applications and applications for amendments.You can find it here: www.bundesnetzagentur.deThe details of your EPIRB / PLB will then be stored with the ITU* and the MRCC** Bremen so that appropriate action can be taken in the event of an emergency at sea. For example, a telephone call can be made to a designated person on shore to check whether it may be a genuine emergency.* The International Telecommunication Union (ITU)** Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC)
