ACR 2830 GlobalFIX V4 Cat I Class 2 EPIRB

Drastically increase your probability of survival at sea

The ACR 2830 GlobalFIX V4 Cat I Class 2 EPIRB is a category I beacon designed to be automatically deployed and activated in the event of a vessel sinking. A category I beacon may also be manually activated while in or out of its bracket.

Drastically increase your probability of survival at sea with the multiple built-in redundancies of the ACR 2830 GlobalFIX V4 Cat I Class 2 EPIRB. Upon activation, the GlobalFIX V4’s robust internal GPS accurately fixes your exact location. Your coordinates are then broadcast via a powerful 406 MHz distress signal to Search and Rescue forces worldwide. In the absence of GPS data, orbiting Cospas-Sarsat satellites can accurately triangulate your position using the 406 MHz signal alone. A 121.5 MHz homing signal further guides searchers to your exact position.

The ACR 2830 GlobalFIX V4 Cat I Class 2 EPIRB is a full-featured EPIRB loaded with high-efficiency electronics for performance you can count on, including an internal 66 channel GPS for faster acquisition from a cold start. A protective keypad cover helps prevent false activation, and the all-new, user-replaceable battery pack has a 10-year replacement interval – reducing the overall ownership cost and making replacement a breeze. The GlobalFIX V4 has two functional self-tests to monitor the beacon’s transmission, power and battery performance and GPS acquisition.
