The Portable Thermal Beacon (PTB), (910712) is thermal signaling beacon designed for vehicle installation and crew operations.
The Portable Thermal Beacon (PTB), (910712) is thermal signaling beacon designed for vehicle installation and crew operations. Transmitting in the 2 to 5 and 8 to 12 micron ranges, the PTB generates rotating flashing signal, providing a full 360 degrees of signal transmission allowing the beacon to be used for Air-to-Ground and Ground-to-Ground operations.
The PTB is powered by any DC power source ranging from 10 to 32 volts making it ideal suited for vehicle applications. Alternatively the beacon can be powered from communications batteries for dismounted use. A small signal LED is included to provide the user with a visual confirm that the beacon is working correctly. An integrated shield is also provided to protect the strobe when not in use or during transport. The beacon can be tripod mounted or fitted to the included Vehicle Mounting Base.
The Portable Thermal Beacon Kit includes a Hardigg Storm Case iM2075, Vehicle Mounting Base and Portable Thermal Beacon with one meter power cable and user instructions.
