ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB

By combining both, the GlobalFix V5 alerts global search and rescue satellites while simultaneously broadcasting your location to nearby vessels equipped with AIS. This dual-alert system significantly reduces rescue time by engaging both professional responders and nearby boaters who can often reach you first.

Category I mounts feature a hydrostatic release that automatically deploys the EPIRB if the vessel sinks. Category II mounts are manual, meaning you must physically remove the beacon from its bracket and activate it yourself.

You can use the ACR mobile app to tap your phone against the beacon's NFC chip. This allows you to quickly check battery life, review self-test results, and manage maintenance logs without needing to manually trigger a full system test.

Yes, the device uses a 72-channel multi-constellation receiver that tracks GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS satellites. This ensures a fast and precise location fix, even in challenging environments where signal reception might otherwise be limited.

The RLS provides visual confirmation on the beacon itself that your distress signal has been successfully received by the satellite network. It offers peace of mind by letting you know that your alert is being processed and help is on the way.

No, the infrared strobe is designed specifically for search and rescue teams using night-vision equipment. However, the unit also includes a high-intensity white LED strobe that is clearly visible to the naked eye for standard rescue operations.
