Kannad XS-4 GPS PLB Battery Change Service

Kannad XS-4 GPS PLB Battery Change Service | 91-050-002A

The Kannad XS-4 Battery Change Service is a Return-to-Base Service we have to perform via our accredited sister company Spares Marine, an Approved McMurdo PLB Service Agent, due to the battery being housed inside the PLB alongside the PCB. Correct watertight sealing and testing must be carried out on the PLB before it is returned.

Please note: The new battery expiry date will be September 2029.

The Process

• Add this item to your basket and check out
• Spares Marine will then contact you with the address to send your PLB
• Upon receipt, your PLB will receive a full inspection
• Light Pen interrogation for unique HEX identification
• The Battery will be changed, plus the Top Cover and Antenna Assembly
• Counters for run time, GPS long tests etc will be reset
• Tests will then be carried out to check 406, 121.5 and strobe functionality
• Light Pen programming to ensure the unique HEX ID is still programmed
• Water Test, to ensure the PLB does not leak with its new seals
• Your PLB is then returned by Registered Mail

The typical turn around time for this servicing varies from as little as 24 hours, to up to 1 - 2 weeks. For urgent servicing, please Contact Us prior to placing the order.

Units can also be dropped off and returned into one of our 4 locations, however this can add an extra 1 - 2 working days.
