RACON

RBM4
Frequency-agile Radar Beacon
The RBM4 is a latest-generation (frequency-agile)
Radar Beacon, which works in the marine X and S
radar bands, providing an important information
to mariners under whatever meteorological con-
ditions.

Advanced electronic technology

The RBM4 incorporates advanced electronic
technology components from radar systems,
applied to navigation aids, such as programmable
logic and flexible circuit antenna arrays.

Programmed Morse code

The Racon actively answers all active radars in
the vicinity with a user programmed Morse code
which identifies its location by appearing on the
radar display.

Designed according to IALA Recommendations

and IMO Standards.

• Response on X and S bands.

• Advanced Side-Lobe Suppression system (SLS) to better

discriminate the genuine pulses to be responded.

• The length of the Morse code response matches the display

range setting by programming the duration of the answer
according to the pulse length before installation.

• Transmitter power: 1 W in both bands.

• Configurable receiver sensitivity.

• RS-232 communication serial port.

• Configuration via PC or Android APP (tablet and mobile).

• Protection against reverse polarity and transient overvoltages.

• Wide power supply range.

• Low power consumption.

• Light weight.

• Maintenance free.
