ACR 3330031 (ACR2844) 406MHz GlobalFix PRO EPIRB - Category II Manual Bracket

ACR 3330031 (ACR2844) 406MHz GlobalFix PRO EPIRB - Category II Manual Bracket

The next-generation GlobalFix PRO features a professional grade, 16-channel GPS receiver for faster location acquisition — typically 3 to 5 times faster than a conventional GPS from a cold start. Upon activation, the built-in GPS receiver transmits your position coordinates in a powerful 406 MHz signal along with your registered, digitally-coded distress signal and a 121.5 MHz SAR homing frequency. The 100-m GPS position accuracy is the optimum allowed by Cospas-Sarsat. The GlobalFix PRO also features a built-in LED strobe light, full-function test mode, and GPS acquisition testing. The exclusive polycarbonate blend case is designed for maximum UV, chemical, temperature, and shock resistance. The Automatic Category I Sea Shelter bracket is fully enclosed and is made of high-density, UV-stabilized polyethylene for years of extreme abuse, while the manual Category II LowPro bracket has a low profile and features a 2-part design for easy mounting and quick removal when needed.

EPIRBs in a Category II bracket need to be manually deployed and activated. They can be mounted above or below deck, in a location that is protected from outside influences (i.e. green water, traffic impacts, cabin doors, etc).

It is mandatory that you register your beacon. Visit www.acrartex.com/support/registrations/ to find the appropriate registration agency. When activated, the unique identification code in your beacon is linked to the registration database. This way authorities can retrieve valuable information about you and your trip.
