Provide Safety for your family and Crew with an ACR Epirb!
EPIRB - Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon. The ACR 2848 Category II GlobalFix iPRO 406 GPS Epirb is a must have safety device for anyone boating, cruising or fishing in a large lake or off the coast. The primary job for an EPIRB is to send a distress signal to the SAR (Search And Rescue) Satellite system. The ACR 2848 GlobalFix iPro 406 is a catagory II manual release EPIRB. A manual release EPIRB is perfect for a ditch bag or mounting in a waterproof area. Manual EPIRBs are designed to be activated by the user by flipping a switch located on the top of the unit. The bonus with the iPro 406 is the built in GPS sensor. When a distress signal is sent, your LAT/LON position will transmit with the distress call creating a much smaller search area down to .05NM radius as compared to 2.3NM radius with a conventional EPIRB. The iPro 406 can also interface with an External GPS via NMEA 0183 to provide location prior to activation which ensures Lat/Lon transmission immediately.
The GlobalFix ipro also has an interactive digital display which indicates beacon transmission information, GPS position, battery power and self-test results. The Bright LED consumes less energy than a traditional strobe without sacraficing intensity. The iPro 406 EPIRB will transmit for a minimum of 48 hours at -20C degrees.
