Like the RT-100 emergency receiver, the RT-202 CrewFinder MOB direction finder system monitors the international emergency frequency 121.500 MHz and triggers an alarm in the event a distress signal is received. At the same time, the direction of the transmitter is determined and indicated by a LED ring.

The RT-202 also features a second operating frequency (121.650 MHz) for training and testing purposes.

In the event of a man overboard situation, the individual in distress can be found quickly and easily in each environmental condition.

Special Features

• Simple intuitive operation
• Extremely high reception sensitivity to permit detection of extremely weak or distant signals
• Special processing algorithm for signal stable localization
• Selective Squelch to avoid false alarms
• Waterproof (IP67) and robust
• Extremely compact design
• RS-232 interface for remote control capability

Accessories

Aluminium DCU

Full width rt 202 dcu alu

The RT-202 DCU is optional avaliable in a Aluminium version. The interchangeable mounting brackets allow the recessed mounting in a front panel or a control station.

AU Simulator

Full width au simulator rt 202 frei

The AU Simulator is a compact and easy-to-use test device for RT-202 and RT-300 DCUs. The AU Simulator is powered by the DF-Units DCU and provides assistance for a fast troubleshooting process onboard

DC/DC Converter

Full width rt 8954 hp 3

The DC/DC converter prevents damage to the direction finding system due to compensation current which flows across the System Ground to minus voltage supply e.g. generated when starting the engines. Mandatory for vessles with metal hull.
