ACR GlobalFix iPRO EPIRB with GPS

Performance you can count on

The ACR GlobalFix iPRO EPIRB with GPS represents the next generation in EPIRB technology, including a first-of-its kind digital display screen and a unique dual GPS platform. It utilizes both a powerful internal GPS engine and an optical link to a shipboard GPS to ensure that accurate coordinates are acquired and quickly beamed to Search and Rescue satellites. High efficiency electronics and an ergonomic, compact design save a valuable commodity onboard - space! The iPRO is not only smaller, lighter and loaded with advanced technology, but it also provides the user with valuable information via the digital display screen, such as self-test results and information following emergency activation, including optimum usage tips, such as "Leave beacon on until ResQ" and "Do not hold antenna".

The GlobalFix iPRO broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. Along with the 406MHz distress signal and GPS receiver, its separate homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location. Its reliable signalling technology has saved more than 30,000 lives since 1982.

The Automatic Category I Sea Shelter bracket is fully enclosed and is made of high-density, UV-stabilised polyethylene for years of extreme abuse, while the manual Category II LowPro3 bracket has a low profile and features a 2-part design for easy mounting and quick removal when needed.

Note: The GlobalFix iPRO is a satellite signalling device of last resort, for use when all other means of self-rescue have been exhausted, where the situation is grave and imminent loss of life, limb, eyesight, or valuable property will occur without resistance.
