Racon is a radar transponder which emits a characteristic signal when triggered by a ships radar.
The signal may be emitted on the same frequency as that of the triggering radar, in which case it is automatically superimposed on the ship’s radar display. The maximum range of a radar is limited to range of sight. Bacons operate on 2 frequencies, X band or X+.5 band.
• 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
