Everything about The Underwater Locator Beacon totally explained
The
Underwater Locator Beacon is a device fitted to aviation
flight recorders such as the
cockpit voice recorder and
flight data recorder. ULBs are also sometimes required to be attached directly to an aircraft
fuselage. When triggered by water immersion the
ULB emits an
ultrasonic pulse of 37.5 kHz at an interval of once per second. This signal can be heard and located by a variety of receivers. The beacon will operate for 30 days to a depth of 20000 feet (6 km).
The unit shown attached to a bracket on a
CVR is 4 inches (10.16 cm) long. When submerged it's activated by water bridging between the contact in the center of the white nylon insulator and the outside case. Variations on this design can also be used to track or recover underwater robotic equipment.
