 Description 

This section provides a general descriptive overview of the beacon, its theory of 
operation, and use. 
 
The ULB-362B Series Underwater Locator Beacons are durable, water-activated, 
underwater location aids. A Power Loss version is also available. The ULB-362B 
series beacons can be ordered in several frequencies, 27kHz, 37.5kHz and 
45kHz. The beacons transmit an acoustic signal once every second after 
activation. The acoustic output for the 30 day battery will remain above 157.0dB 
for 30 days.  

 

RJE International, Inc. also offers a standard mounting bracket (P/N ULB362-02). 
The bracket allows the beacon to be securely mounted (Please contact RJE 
International, Inc. if the mounting bracket does not meet your needs). The ULB-
362B beacon is shown in Figure1-1. The beacon is also shown installed in its 
standard mounting bracket in Figure 1-2, and a dimensional outline of the beacon 
is shown in Figure 1-3.
