With three levels of integrated signal technology-GPS
positioning, a powerful 406 MHZ signal and 121.5 MHz homing
capacity- the GlobalFix™ PRO quickly and accurately relays a
distressed boaters position to a worldwide network of Search and
Rescue satellites (COSPAS-SARSAT), reducing search time and
increasing chances of survival in an emergency at sea.
Using the same reliable signalling technology that has saved
more than 28,000 lives worldwide since 1982, the GlobalFix™ PRO is
a small and rugged lifesaver with over 54 years of ACR ingenuity
and engineering built-in as standard features.
The GlobalFix™ PRO is loaded with high efficiency electronics
that offer reliable performance, responsiveness and accuracy. It
carries Class II non-Hazmat batteries, which will allow the beacon
to transmit for a minimum of 48 hours at -20ºC (-4ºF). The EPIRB
measures 6.97 x 4.2 x 3.58" (17.7 x 10.67 x 9.09 cm) and weighs
20.5 oz (581g).
An EPIRB is a satellite-signalling device of last resort, for
use when all other means of self-rescue have been exhausted and
where the situation is deemed to be grave and imminent, and the
loss of life, limb, eyesight or valuable property will occur
without assistance. All beacons must be registered online at
www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov
following purchase. There are no monthly service fees for 406 MHz
beacons.
