ACR GlobalFix V5 Category II EPIRB Survival Kit with RLS, AIS, RapidDitch Express Bag & Emergency Signaling Gear (2381)

The ACR GlobalFix V5 EPIRB Survival Kit assembles an emergency position-indicating radio beacon and essential visibility equipment for offshore boating and marine emergencies. Centered on the GlobalFix V5 Category II EPIRB, the package combines 406 MHz satellite distress alerting and Return Link Service with a floating RapidDitch Express bag, personal rescue lights, a signal mirror and a whistle. The V5 beacon also features AIS distress signaling.

Key Features & Benefits

• 406 MHz EPIRB Distress Alerting: Transmits a satellite distress alert with GNSS position information when activated.
• Return Link Service: Provides confirmation that the transmitted distress alert has been received by the satellite system; it is not a rescue-arrival confirmation.
• AIS Distress Signaling: V5 adds AIS locating broadcasts to compatible nearby vessels.
• Floating Abandon-Ship Bag: RapidDitch Express holds and organizes rescue essentials in one accessible package.
• Multiple Rescue Signals: HemiLight 3, C-Strobe H2O, mirror and whistle provide complementary visual and audible signaling tools.
