ACR 2831 GlobalFIX V4 Cat II Class 2 EPIRB

Category II beacons are designed to be manually deployed from
the bracket and then activated manually or placed in the water to
activate automatically.

Drastically increase your probability of survival at sea with
the multiple built-in redundancies of the GlobalFIX V4 marine
distress 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 GlobalFIX V4 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.

• Highly visible LED strobe – Energy efficient
