ACR Electronics GlobalFix V5 AIS RLS EPIRB Survival Plus Kit for Boats

The ACR GlobalFix V5 AIS RLS EPIRB Survival Kit for Boats is a complete and dependable safety package built to give mariners the best chance of survival in offshore and coastal emergencies. Designed with the needs of experienced sailors, serious anglers, and long-range cruisers in mind, this kit combines top-tier distress signaling technology with essential survival tools to keep you prepared for the unexpected.

At the heart of the kit is the GlobalFix V5 AIS EPIRB, which uses 406 MHz satellite communication to alert the worldwide Cospas-Sarsat rescue network while simultaneously transmitting AIS signals to nearby vessels for immediate local response. Return Link Service (RLS) technology confirms that your distress alert has been received, and a built-in 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescuers find you once they are on scene. The EPIRB also features high-intensity visible and infrared strobes for improved detection at night or in poor visibility.

The survival kit includes the buoyant RapidDitch Express Bag, capable of floating up to 15 pounds of gear, keeping your most important emergency items dry and accessible. Additional equipment includes a signal mirror for daytime signaling, a whistle for close-range sound alerts, C-Strobe emergency lights for enhanced night visibility, and the HemiLight 3 water-activated light for life jackets.
