Product Description
The new ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB is a versatile Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon suitable for use on both recreational and commercial vessels. High tech features like Return Link Service (RLS) reassure users by confirming that the beacon has successfully sent the distress message and that this message has been received. ACR’s new Near Field Communication (NFC) allows the beacon to connect to a smartphone for quick diagnostics to monitor the battery and ensure the EPIRB is functioning properly. The GlobalFix V6 is an ideal safety solution for all types of vessels and activities including coastal cruising, offshore passage making, or while working or fishing in any ocean.
Available with Category I or Category II brackets. Upon activation, the GlobalFix V6 derives its position globally through the GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) positioning networks. On activation the 406 MHz distress transmission relays your GPS position to the worldwide COSPAS-SARSAT search and rescue satellite network. A 121.5 MHz homing signal and visual/infrared strobes further guide rescuers to pinpoint your position. The integrated NFC technology provides detailed diagnostics through the free ACR Product App.
