ACR GlobalFix V5 - Cat 1 EPIRB With AIS and RLS Function - FloatFree Mount
The new ACR GlobalFIX V5 EPIRB AIS rescue transmitter combines 406 MHz, 121.5 MHz and AIS distress messaging in one. By combining the individual technologies for making emergency calls, the chances of a quick rescue are significantly increased.
The ACR GlobalFIX V5 is triggered manually using a button, which is protected against false triggering by a corresponding cap, or automatically upon water contact as soon as the EPIRB has been removed from the holder.
FloatFree mount
The FloatFree version of the ACR GlobalFIX V5 has a special bracket that allows outdoor mounting. The interchangeable hydrostatic trigger mechanism activates when it is in a water depth of 1.5 ~ 4 meters.
Wireless NFC interface
Using the NFC wireless connection*, you can access activity history, battery status and programming information of the GlobalFIX V5 via the ACR app iOS and Android.
* Note: Only possible with an NFC Near Field Communication compatible smartphone.
Compact design with additional infrared strobe light
All functions and, of course, the lithium ~ion battery, which enables an operating time of at least 48 hours (at ~20 °C), as well as the 72 ~channel GPS receiver, are contained in the compact housing design. With the dimensions of 470 x 109 x 111 mm (H x W x D) and its range of functions, the ACR GlobalFIX V5 is ideally suited for coastal voyages, offshore voyages or even ocean crossings.
In addition to a powerful white strobe light, the GlobalFIX V5 also has an additional infrared strobe light, which makes it easier to find the casualty in bad weather and at night.
Integrated AIS function
When the ACR GlobalFIX V5 is triggered, in addition to sending a distress message on the typical EPIRB frequencies of 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz, an AIS distress message is also sent to vessels in the vicinity via the VHF AIS frequencies. This AIS distress message can be received by vessels equipped with an appropriate AIS Class A or Class B receiver. The AIS distress message is displayed on the compatible navigation system and the course can be taken directly to the position of the distress call.
The merging of 406 MHz and AIS distress messaging effectively pairs both global and local rescue, thereby maximizing access to the most effective rescue resources available.
RLS function
The RLS Return Link Service function is a two ~way communication type between your EPRIB and the rescue centre. The RLS system gives you the peace of mind that your distress message, which was sent via the EPIRB frequency, has been received by the rescue coordination center. As soon as your distress message is received by the responsible authority, the RLS LED on the ACR GlobaldFIX V5 lights up. The RLS signal is sent via the Galileo satellite network from the rescue control centre back to the EPIRB, which triggered the distress message. This confirmation that rescuers are aware that an EPIRB has been activated and know its location helps reduce the stress associated with accident situations.
