ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB

ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB

ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB uses 406 MHz satellite connectivity to transmit emergency signals to the global Cospas Sarsat satellite rescue system. Return Link Service (RLS) technology provides visual conffrmation to the user that their distress message has been received. A 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescuers ffnd the activated beacon when they are on scene. Visible and infrared strobe lights aid in target identiffcation at night or when visibility is limited speeding rescue and recovery.

A new feature called Near Field Communication (NFC) lets users monitor their EPIRB’s functions using a smartphone App. ACR is dedicated to marine safety and the new GlobalFix V6 EPIRB provides sophisticated rescue technology in a durable and reliable device that works globally.

The ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB accurately derives its position globally through the GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) positioning networks. Triggering the device produces a digital mayday using a 406 MHz distress transmission that relays the GPS EPIRB (GPIRB) position, accurate to within 100 meters, to the worldwide Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network. Position information and vessel identiffcation are then relayed by the satellites to ground stations which ultimately helps decide the scope of rescue operation to be launched.
