ACR’s new Near Field Communication (NFC) allows the beacon to connect to a smartphone for quick diagnostics that demonstrate the battery is charged and the EPIRB is functioning correctly. The GlobalFix V6 is an ideal safety solution for all types of vessels and activities, including coastal cruising, offshore passage-making, or working or fishing in any ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReliable Worldwide Digital Mayday Tells Rescuers Where to Search\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB accurately derives its position globally through the GNSS (GPS, Galileo, and Glonass) positioning networks. Triggering the device produces a digital distress transmission using a 406 MHz distress transmission that relays the GPS EPIRB (GPIRB) position, accurate to within 100 meters, to the worldwide Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition information and vessel identification are then relayed by the satellites to ground stations, which ultimately helps decide the scope of the rescue operation to be launched. Once the EPIRB is activated, a 121.5 MHz signal is transmitted in addition to the higher frequency satellite signal. This 121.5 MHz homing signal aids rescuers in finding the device when they arrive at the rescue scene, which is particularly important if the beacon has drifted from its original location. The GlobalFix V6 EPIRB also emits both a visual and infrared strobe to help rescuers pinpoint the beacon and speed rescue operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNear Field Communication (NFC) Ensures the EPIRB is Functioning Properly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing ACR’s free smartphone app and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, users can easily access EPIRB diagnostics. Placing a smartphone adjacent to the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB opens the ACR Product App, which shows EPIRB data. The app shows the current battery life of the beacon, the number of GNSS and self-tests completed, and the amount of time the EPIRB has been activated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsers can see detailed information on each self-test and GNSS test the device performs. GNSS tests include a map view demonstrating where previous tests were performed, the date and time of the tests, how long it took the EPIRB to get a fix on the GNSS coordinates, the number of satellites used to obtain that fix, and the fix’s accuracy. NFC allows users to routinely check the status of all EPIRB functions to ensure they are working properly and ready to go in case of an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturn Link Service (RLS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturn Link Service indicates to the user that an EPIRB rescue transmission has been received. The RLS signal is sent back through the Galileo satellite network, confirming that the digital Mayday, including precise beacon location and identifiers, has been delivered. An easy-to-see flashing blue light indicates the EPIRB’s successful reception of the Return Link message through the Galileo satellite network. Those in distress who have triggered the beacon and received the RLS confirmation know that rescuers will be made aware of the EPIRB activation and location and that rescue operations will be launched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eACR is a globally recognized leader in marine electronic rescue devices and other life-saving products. They build quality rescue equipment solutions like the new ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB that is suitable for all types and sizes of vessels in both the recreational and commercial sectors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong life Lithium batteries, global 406 MHz satellite transmission, a 121.5 MHz homing signal, visual and infrared strobes, and a Return Link Service that tells users their rescue signal has been received are all packed into a durable waterproof beacon. Near-field communication and the free ACR App allow users to check the EPIRB status for added reliability. Mariners cruising coastal waters, working offshore, or crossing oceans will appreciate the advanced features of the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Power (406\/121.5): 406.040 MHz, 5 W (nominal) \/ 121.5 MHz, 50 mW (nominal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRLS: Return Link Service (RLS) confirmation direct to beacon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNFC\/Mobile App: Near Field Communication (NFC) and mobile app included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrobe: White \u0026amp; infrared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize (antenna up) – Beacon Only: (inch) 18.5\" x 4.3\" x 4.36\" \/ (mm) 470 x 109 x 111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight – Beacon Only: 1.78 lbs (810 G)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery: Lithium battery, Li\/FeS2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery Replacement: 10-year replaceable battery (replace 10 years after the date of manufacture or after activation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature Range (Class 2): Storage: -22°F to +158°F (-30°C to +70°C) \/ Operating: -4°F to +131°F (-20°C to +55°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS: 72-channel multi-constellation receiver (GPS, Galileo, \u0026amp; Glonass GNSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActivation: Out of bracket and wet, or manually in or out of the bracket (Class 3 – manual activation only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof: 33 ft (10 m) for 5 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuoyant: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperational Life: 48 hours minimum @ -4°F (-20°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeployment: Category II – Manual release (manual deployment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: EPIRB mounting hardware (Included – P\/N 9657)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCat II Bracket: (P\/N 9656)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHRU (P\/N 9490.1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprovals: Cospas-Sarsat, FCC, RED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/productimageserver.com\/prop65\/6pt.png\" alt=\"Warning\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
