Ultima-S combines the latest generation of lithium battery technology and a smart design, which enables the unit to comply with the latest FAA / EASA lithium battery requirements (DO-227A & (E)TSO-142b).
- Manual & automatic activation upon contact with water:
The unit can be manually activated by the crew members through the ELT’s switch and is also automatically activated immersed in water.

The beacon’s location is determined through its embedded GNSS receiver, using both GPS and Galileo satellite constellations for faster signal detection and robust position acquisition.
- Easy integration through various installation options:
Ultima-S is available in buoyant version, (category A) for cabin integration, and for life raft applications. Both versions can be mounted firmly either horizontally or vertically on a bracket, and requires little storage room, thanks to their compact design. The mounting bracket is optimized for quick and easy, one hand, extraction. A bag is also available.
