PLB, EPIRB, & VDR Battery Replacement
We change batteries in ACR, McMurdo, Ocean Signal, and Jotron EPIRBs and PLBs. We also replace Jotron VDR batteries used in the Furuno and Consilium VDR systems. We have a state of the art Battery Replacement and Shore Based Maintenance facility.
Your PLB ,EPIRB, or VDR will be thoroughly inspected and tested when we change the battery. Every unit that comes into our facility is activated in our faraday cage. If your unit contains a GPS the GPS receiver and the GPS transmission in the 406 MHz burst as well as the 121.5 MHz homing frequency will be verified.
When your unit leaves our facility you can be assured that it is in top shape and ready for activation in an emergency situation.
