CORE Survival PIM: The Definitive Wireless Reprogramming Module for HEL-STAR 6 Gen III+ & F2 Devices
- The Core Survival Programmable Interface Module lets you instantly update white green blue red light sequences across different modes and four user functions on any HEL-STAR device in the field without removing it from your helmet. Made in the USA and built for rugged conditions, the CORE Survival HEL-STAR PIM gives operators the ability to adapt their visual and infrared identification signals on the fly, without needing to return to base.
- Wirelessly Update Gear Up to 3 Feet Away: Use the infrared connection to push new commands to your HEL-STAR device from a short distance without removing it from your helmet. A quick visual or vibrating alert confirms the new program, keeping your hands free and avoiding cable management issues.
- Power Operations With a Single Replaceable CR123: A Single Replaceable CR123 battery drives the module to support long-term field use. An automatic time-out feature shuts off the power when the device is idle, ensuring your PIM-701 always has the juice required for rapid signal changes.
- Pre-Load Missions Using 1 HEL-STAR USB Interface: Plug the module into a Windows laptop using the HEL-STAR USB interface to access simple, visual software. You can build and lock in your exact flash rates before stepping off the wire, then carry the module in your pocket to sync the rest of your squad's gear.
- Restore Factory Settings With 1 Default Button: The thick rubber cover protects the unit from hard impacts, while a recessed two-button design stops accidental presses in your pouch. If mission parameters shift suddenly, simply press the black default button to instantly wipe custom settings and restore the original factory codes.

CORE Survival PIM FAQs
What exactly does the Core Survival Programmable Interface Module do?
It is a small, handheld remote for your helmet beacon. It lets you wirelessly change the light colors and flashes on your HEL-STAR 6 GEN III+ & HEL-STAR F2 while out in the field, without needing to take the beacon off your helmet.
What is the difference between the PIM-701 and the Civilian PIM-702?
Both modules program your HEL-STAR device, but they are built for different users and follow different travel laws. Here is a simple breakdown:
|
Feature |
PIM-701 (Tactical Model) |
Civilian PIM-702 (Everyday Model) |
|
Who uses it? |
Military and Police |
Everyday users |
|
Travel Rules |
Strict ITAR rules (Cannot leave the US easily) |
No ITAR rules (Easy to travel with) |
|
Signal Type |
Restricted Infrared (IR) |
Standard civilian signal |
The PIM-701 uses restricted signals for combat gear, meaning it is strictly controlled by the government. The Civilian PIM-702 is built for everyday use and does not have those same strict travel bans.
What are the two programming modes on the CORE Survival PIM?
The device keeps things simple with a two-button layout. The green "NEW PGM" button sends your custom, pre-planned light flashes to your HEL-STAR device. If things change, you press the black "DEFAULT" button to instantly wipe the custom settings and return the light to its original factory modes.
How do I get my custom light patterns onto the module?
You will use the included HEL-STAR USB interface cable to plug the module into any Windows computer. The device has an easy-to-use software program built right in. You just click the flash rates you want, save them, and unplug. If you want to see this in action, watching a HEL-STAR 6 GEN III+ & HEL-STAR F2 Review video will show you exactly how easy the software is to use.
What kind of battery does the remote use?
The whole system runs on a Single Replaceable CR123 battery. The module features a simple cap for easy battery replacement, making it fast to swap out and stay powered up during long tactical trips.
How do I justify the CORE Survival PIM Price for my team?
When you evaluate the CORE Survival PIM Price, remember that this single tactical remote programs the gear for your entire squad. Instead of buying extra cables or mailing units back to the factory for resets, this one device manages every compatible helmet beacon on your team.
