ACR’s AquaFix EPIRB is small enough at 12 ounces to be carried in
a pocket or pack. A removable protective holster allows for mounting on life
vests or harnesses, making the AquaFix perfect for crew or active youngsters.
The unit transmits a digitally coded distress signal on 406.028 MHz. This EPIRB
features a flat, stainless steel antenna that wraps around the unit when stowed
and is rapidly deployed by simultaneously pressing two buttons. The AquaFix
floats and is waterproof to a depth of 35 feet. It operates on lithium batteries
rated for 24 hours of continuous service with a replacement life of five years.
Two models are available: one with an internal GPS that acquires
latitude/longitude coordinates upon activation, and one that acquires the
location externally through the waterproof NMEA 0183 connection from an outboard
GPS unit.
