NOVEGA PT9 C-PROOF Underwater Locator Beacon (ULB) for VDR & S-VDR
The NOVEGA PT9 C-PROOF has been one of the most trusted underwater locator beacons in the maritime industry for nearly two decades. Developed specifically for VDR and S-VDR Final Recording Media (FRM), it provides dependable acoustic transmission for a minimum of 30 days after activation by fresh or seawater immersion.
Designed for continuous exposure to demanding marine conditions, the PT9 C-PROOF features enhanced corrosion protection, durable construction, and a patented intelligent water activation system that helps prevent unwanted activation caused by rain, spray, or condensation. This significantly extends battery service life while improving operational reliability.
The beacon is suitable for operation at depths of up to 6,096 meters (20,000 ft) and complies with internationally recognized maritime standards, making it an ideal replacement or spare beacon for many VDR manufacturers.
