Salcom’s Search & Rescue Communicator is an Aviation band unit developed in response to a market demand for a low cost, simple to use, fully submersible emergency radio. The unit provides a means of communication from aircraft to personnel in distress where they cannot be reached and no alternative communication method exists.
Search & Rescue 11-35-1000
The Search and Rescue Communicator (SARC) was developed in response to a market demand for a low cost, simple to use, fully immersible emergency radio. The unit provides a means of communication from aircraft to personnel in distress where they cannot be reached and no alternative communication method exists.
The unit is ruggedly constructed, is fully sealed and can safely withstand water immersion, making it ideal for use in marine distress situations.
Each unit is supplied with a tough hard fronted pouch so that they can be stored safely without the likelihood of accidental activation. To reduce the possibility of loss, the unit can be secured by a lanyard fitted to one of the loops on the pouch or the loop on the case.
A lithium battery is recommended to power the SARC. This provides a shelf life of five years and an endurance of more than fifty hours when the unit is activated.
The Communicator is simple to operate. All controls are identified on the front panel by English language labels and international symbols. Battery test information and foreign language translations are provided on the back of each unit. The front of the pouch also contains foreign language translations identifying the product. For bulk orders, customised panels can be produced with specific foreign language labels if required.
