Did you know
- The ACR GlobalFix V4 EPIRB was released in May 2016, building upon ACR's extensive experience in manufacturing safety and survival technologies. It was introduced as a competitively priced option with new features compared to previous models.
- The GlobalFix V4 sits as a mid-range option within ACR's EPIRB offerings. While ACR continued to offer the GlobalFix iPRO and PRO range for mariners desiring longer operational life and more output power, the V4 was ACR's first EPIRB to feature a 10-year user-replaceable battery.
- A key strength of the GlobalFix V4 is its user-replaceable battery with a 10-year life, which significantly reduces the overall cost of ownership and simplifies maintenance. It also boasts a 66-channel internal GPS for faster position acquisition and offers multiple redundancies for distress signaling.
| Model | Battery Life | Battery Replaceable | GPS Channels | 406 MHz Output Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GlobalFix V4 | 10 years | User-replaceable | 66 | 5 W |
