STB100 Beacon Bench Tester from Aviation Safety Supplies Ltd

STB100 Beacon Bench Tester

STB100 Beacon Test Bench

The STB100 measures all known first and second generation Cospas-Sarsat approved emergency beacons, new AIS-EPIRBs, as well as AIS Transceivers (Class A & B).

The STB100 also has very accurate DC current and voltage measuring, allowing for characterization of power supplied to a beacon, as well as measuring leakage current down to 200nA.

The user-friendly STB100 software is included free with the purchase of your STB100 unit and can be downloaded directly from our website. Alternately, advanced users can use the optional API command set to customize their own User Interface.
