ACR GlobalFix™ iPRO

406 MHz GPS Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon

Simply put, the GlobalFix iPRO represents the absolute latest in EPIRB technology, including a first-of-its kind digital display screen and a unique dual GPS platform.

The GlobalFix iPRO 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

(typically within 2 -15 minutes vs. up to an hour or more with a non-GPS system). 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 406 MHz distress signal and

GPS receiver, its separate homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location. Its reliable signaling 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-stabilized polyethylene for years of extreme abuse, while the manual

Category II LowPro bracket has a low profile and features a 2-part design for easy mounting and quick removal when needed.

It is mandatory that you register your EPIRB. It’s fast, easy and free www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov. When activated, the unique identification code in your EPIRB is linked to the registration database. This way authorities can retrieve valuable information about you and your trip.

The GlobalFix™ iPRO is a satellite signaling 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 assistance.
