Product catalog summary
Overview: The STB100 Beacon Test Bench is a comprehensive testing device designed for maintenance and test facilities, beacon manufacturers, and developers. It offers extensive measurement capabilities for various beacon frequencies and protocols, including 406 MHz, 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz, and AIS.
Key Features:
  • Measures all Cospas-Sarsat frequency channels and decodes all protocols.
  • Direct 50Ω RF input and alternate antenna input.
  • Monitors DC supply to a beacon from 1 to 30V, 5mA to 8A.
  • Measures beacon leakage current and provides overload protection.
  • Streams measurement data into delimited text files and creates PDF test reports.
  • Supports up to two external temperature probes and is user-configurable with an API set.
  • Includes a Certificate of Calibration and offers free software and firmware updates.
Specifications:
  • 406 MHz Measurements: Frequency stability, power, and modulation phase symmetry with specified uncertainties.
  • 121.5/243 MHz Measurements: Frequency, peak power, and audio frequency with specified uncertainties.
  • AIS Measurements: Frequency and output power with specified uncertainties.
  • Miscellaneous Measurements: Voltage, current, and temperature ranges with specified uncertainties.
  • Interface Parameters: Includes RF input, antenna RF input, 10 MHz input, GPS ANT input, and user I/O connector specifications.
Environmental and Mechanical:

Test Bench Our customers asked for a PC-based Test Bench version of the popular BT100 handheld Beacon Tester – we listened - and created a feature-rich Test Bench that packs a lot of extra measurement capability into a quality piece of test gear. The new STB100 Test Bench is the perfect tester for maintenance facilities, test facilities, beacon manufacturers, beacon developers, and any anyone else that does not require the portability of a handheld tester. This new model will test 406 MHz, 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz, AIS, and 406 MHz frequency stability. Very accurate DC current and voltage sensing allows for characterization of the DC power supplied to a beacon. Measure leakage current down to 200 nA. Dual temperature probes integrate temperature data with your measurement data. The User I/O interface adds 2 relays, 8 analog I/O lines, 8 ADC input lines – all for user defined functions. The internal GPS receiver allows for delta distance measurement for location encoded beacons as well as a timing reference for AIS measurements. The STB100 interfaces with the user’s PC. The optional API set allows advanced users to control the unit in order to create their own customized User Interface. FEATURES INCLUDE  measures all 406, 121.5, 243, AIS parameters  receives all Cospas-Sarsat frequency channels and decodes all protocols  measures and computes 406 MHz frequency stability  direct 50Ω RF input  alternate Antenna input  monitors the DC supply to a beacon over a wide range: 1 to 30V, 5mA to 8A  Vin to Vout low dropout voltage of 100mV/A  measures beacon leakage current  overload protection  streams measurement data into delimited text files – for easy analysis  creates PDF Test Report  connect up to two external temperature probes  User-configurable with API set  each unit includes a Certificate of Calibration  free software and firmware updates online  outstanding customer support  Cospas-Sarsat Second Generation Beacon ready Typical Setup Vdropout = Vin - Vout Power Supply (or battery) Iout BEACON UNDER TEST GPS_RX GPS_TX PPS_OUT Ground Comply with FAA Part 91.207, CAR 571 Appendix G, and CAA Euro CAE requirements for ELT certifications and MSC Circ. 1039 and 1040 for EPIRB Certifications.
