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.

66-channel GPS: 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.

Easy self-testing: The GlobalFIX™ V4 has two functional self-tests to monitor the beacon’s transmission, power and battery performance and GPS acquisition. Pair these tests with ACR’s 406Link.com optional testing portal (available for the Americas only) and receive satellite confirmation messages directly to your cell phone or email.

The ACR GlobalFix™ V4 EPIRB is a marine distress beacon with multiple built-in redundancies to increase your chances of survival in an emergency situation.

The internal GPS will pin-point your location, which is transmitted on the 406 MHz distress signal which in the absence of GPS coordinates, can be used to triangulate your position.

The beacons 121.5 MHz homing signal will bring local search and rescue forces directly to your position and the EPIRBs LED strobe light will allow them to visually locate your position in low light environments.

Features:

• The GlobalFix V4 has (2) functional self-tests to monitor the beacons transmission, power and battery performance, as well as GPS acquisition

• Pair these tests up with ACR's 406Link.com optional testing portal and receive satellite confirmation messages directly to your cellphone or email

• User replaceable battery

• The user replaceable battery pack has a 10 year replacement interval reducing the overall ownership cost and making replacement a breeze

• Highly visible LED strobe - Energy efficient

• Internal 66 channel GPS - Fast cold start

• High efficiency electronics - Performance you can count on

• Professional grade design - Engineered, tested and built for years of abusive marine use

• Simple manual activation – Keypad with protective cover to prevent false alarms

• Uses Search and Rescue Satellites – No subscription fees

• If you use the ACR EPIRB or PLB in an Emergency Situation ACR will replace it free of charge

• If you use your ACR or ARTEX 406 MHz EPIRB, ELT or PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) in a lifesaving emergency that results in your life being saved by search and rescue personnel, ACR/ARTEX will replace your beacon with a new beacon of equal or greater value (hereinafter, the "Program") subject to the terms and conditions described in link below
