ACR Electronics GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB, Category I Automatic Release, Canada – 2851.63
The ACR Electronics GlobalFix V5 AIS is a Canada-programmed Category I Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon for recreational and commercial vessels. It sends a 406 MHz distress alert and encoded identity through the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite system while providing features intended to help rescuers confirm and refine the beacon position.
- An integrated AIS transmitter broadcasts the beacon position to nearby AIS-equipped vessels and rescue craft.
- Return Link Service provides a visual indication when the distress message has been received through the satellite system.
- NFC connectivity works with the ACR mobile app to review self-test history, GNSS test results and beacon status.
- GPS, Galileo and GLONASS positioning supports fast and accurate location data.
- A 121.5 MHz homing signal and both visible and infrared strobes assist rescuers during final approach.
- Float-free housing with HydroFix hydrostatic release unit.
