a response signal that appears on the radar screen as 12 dots — origi- nating at the location of the SART.

The lithium battery provides more than eight hours of active operation and 96 hours of standby operation, and has a shelf life of five years.

The new RT600 is of lightweight, rugged construction, supplied com- plete with storage bracket. A tele- scopic pole aids deployment through the observation port of a liferaft, or it may be suspended by the at- tached lanyard from inside the liferaft. Where local regulations permit, the RT600 may be supplied without a pole.

Times Microwave Introduces

New LSRG Low-Smoke Cable

Times Microwave Systems intro- duced two new lines of coaxial cable: the new LSRG Low-Smoke/Non

Halogenated Coaxial Cable series, in response to the immediate mili- tary need for Mil-C-17 low smoke cables, and a new Armored Low-

Smoke, Flame-Retardant RF coaxial cable for applications in the oil rig and shipboard industries.

Times Microwave is reportedly the only "100 percent QPL'd" source for all of the new low-smoke cables (M17/180 through 200 and M17/210 through 218) required to address flame retardance, smoke, toxicity and corrosive off-gassing properties.

The new LSRG Low-Smoke/Non-

Halogenated coaxial cables are de- signed to use standard connectors used on RG cables.

The Armored Low-Smoke, Flame-

Retardant RF coaxial cable is cur- rently being supplied for use on the

Hibernia oil platform, which will be located approximately 200 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Both lines of cable are subjected to a swept return loss (VSWR) and

RF transmission loss (attenuation) test that helps assure cable perfor- mance over the entire frequency band.

Times Microwave Systems, a di- vision of Smiths Industries Aero- space and Defense Systems Inc., has over 150 QPL listings for Mil-C- 17 coaxial cable and has been com- bining electrical expertise, exclu- sive compound development and fully swept VSWR and attenuation capabilities to address customized needs for more than 45 years in the commercial and military industries.

Thermax Joiner Material Is

UL/USCG Certified

Thermax is a non-combustible, non-toxic 100 percent organic (in- cluding binder), mineral construc- tion building board with hydropho- bic qualities made from exfoliated mica particles called vermiculite.

The material has been used exten- sively for marine joiner construc- tion work on ceilings, doors, claddings, cable trays, ventilation systems, panel systems, furniture, decorative bulkheads and more.

Thermax contains no fibers or formaldehyde. It meets the non- combustibility requirements of

SOLAS and IMO resolutions, has passed the Pittsburgh Toxicity Test, and has UL/USCG certification. In

Europe and Asia, appropriate regu- latory body certificates exist for marine applications.

Dunlop-Beaufort Offers 50-Person SOLAS Rafts

Dunlop-Beaufort Canada Ltd. has introduced what is reportedly the largest liferaft applying to SOLAS 74/83 requirements for passenger- carrying vessels. Approved by both the Canadian and U.S. Coast

Guards, the RBS 50-person liferaft is considered by the company a major initiative toward reducing capital costs and improving safety at sea. "Limited deck space may restrict the number of 25-person throw-over type units required to fulfill the vessel's life-saving complement," said Paul Higginbotham, techni- cal manager for Dunlop-Beaufort. "The RBS 50-person was designed to reduce the total number of liferafts required and also to operate in con- junction with Beaufort's newly mar- 55
