ACR AquaFix 406MHz Personal Locator Beacon w/GPS Interface

PLBs are Emergency Life Saving devices to be used when all else fails. Advances in PLB Technology have made transmission, location and rescue faster than ever before. A PLB is a small transmitter that sends out a personalized emergency distress signal to your nearest rescue services. For pilots, boaters, hikers, campers, etc. a PLB is a highly effective and internationally recognized way to summon help.  A PLB should be used only in situations of Grave and Imminent Danger or "life threatening situations".

AquaFix 406 Features:

• Transmits on 406 MHz via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system with your registered unique, digitally coded distress signal and 121.5 MHz (SAR homing frequency).

• Smallest and most functional P-ELT available; can be easily carried in a pack or pocket; small enough to be worn by pilots, hikers, hunters, kayakers or any outdoor enthusiast.

• Full functional self test of internal circuitry, battery power, 406 MHz transmission, and GPS acquisition (P/N 2799.4 only).

• Flat, stainless steel antenna wraps compactly around the unit for easy stowage; and is ready for rapid deployment.

• Floats to avoid loss if dropped in water, exceeds 1 meter (3.3ft) requirement, tested to 5 meters (16.5ft)

• GPS interface (NMER 0183) allows you to download GPS coordinates prior to activation; once activated, your LAT/LON transmits on the first burst insuring your distress message reaches search and rescue near instantaneously.

• Onboard GPS (PN 2799.4 only) acquires LAT/LON when the unit is activated, your LAT/LON are transmitted as soon as acquired providing rescue agencies with your exact position to within 100 meters (110 yards), within 3 minutes of satellite reception.

• Removable holster provides functionality, style and protection for your P-ELT; allows for multiple mounting options to back packs, belts, webbing and life vests.

• Battery Witness Seal Life  ACR strongly recommends performing the self test on the AquaFix™ 406 GPS on a monthly basis. If your P-EPIRB flashes an initial Red LED at the beginning of the Self Test, this indicates that your electronic witness has been broken and you have used more than 1 hour of battery life. While the PEPIRB will still operate normally in an emergency, ACR strongly recommends you have your battery replaced and the electronic witness reset to ensure that you will have 24 hours of battery power should you ever need to activate your unit in an emergency
