ACR GlobalFix™ iPro

Model Number: RLB-36 / Part Numbers 2848.0 & 2846.0

The GlobalFix™ iPRO Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is the next generation in marine safety electronics. This EPIRB is a breakthrough product that boasts a digital display and dual GPS technology. Available in Category I or II brackets.

 

Description

GlobalFix™ iPRO sports a digital display that allows you to see all of the beacon’s operational activities. The screen displays GPS LAT/LON, operating instructions, usage tips, transmission bursts as well as battery power.

iPRO makes self-testing your beacon simple and easy to understand with the digital display visually walking you through the self test step by step; no more relying on listening to beeps and LEDs.

The GlobalFix™ iPRO is also the first EPIRB that offers Dual GPS Technology. Interface your iPRO to your onboard GPS to ensure that your LAT/LON is stored inside so the coordinates are transmitted in the first data burst. iPRO’s internal GPS is optimized for cold starts and is tested and refined at ACR’s GPS Simulation Center so that it will pinpoint your exact location faster than standard GPS enabled EPIRBs.

  • GlobalFix™ iPRO offers the very latest in marine electronic life saving technology:
  • Highly visible LED strobe – Energy efficient
  • High efficiency electronics – Performance you can count on
  • Non-hazardous batteries – No shipping hassles
  • Professional grade design – Engineered, tested and built for years of abusive marine use
  • Ergonomic, compact design; Smallest, feature-rich EPIRB available
  • If you use it…we’ll replace it, Free of Charge. Simply submit your story, send us back your used beacon so we can have it mounted on our Wall of Fame and we’ll send you a brand new beacon of equal or greater value.
