ACR Electronics recommends a maximum length of 400 feet using 24 AWG wire. Contact

your GPS owner's manual for more detailed information.

What happens if I plug the GPS into the beacon first, without waiting for it to acquire

satellites?

The beacon will function normally, but will not store GPS coordinates. The beacon will

continue to look for satellites and as soon as the GPS has acquired satellites the data will

be transferred to the beacon.

How long does the beacon hold data in memory?

The beacon retains GPS data until one of the following conditions happens:

1. The battery is disconnected.

2. The beacon is placed in the on mode and then returned to the off position.

How much power is needed to run the IR LED on the GPS cable?

The minimum power needed is 3.3V

What if I already have other devices hooked up to my NMEA 0183 output cable, can I

still splice my PLB GPS cable to the NMEA 0183 output cable?

YES – As long as you have enough current to supply 2mA to the beacon. Most GPS are

capable of supporting multiple devices on the NMEA interface.
