GlobalFix V4 Cat II

EPIRB (406 MHz) Category II · EPIRB / SART

Class-certified type (DNV register) · technical data sheet not yet verified

ACR Electronics GlobalFix V4 Cat II is a marine EPIRB (406 MHz) Category II within the EPIRB group. Equipment of this type is typically installed at the GMDSS console, bridge, muster or survival-craft station, or in an exposed release position according to the equipment function. Its primary duty is maritime distress, safety or communications duties associated with the EPIRB (406 MHz) Category II, and it depends on the radio or beacon electronics, antenna path, programmed identity, battery or ship supply and required self-test or control functions. Neighboring variants can differ in rating, size, interface, approval basis or arrangement, so the complete model designation and actual nameplate data are important for identification. It normally interfaces with approved antennas or beacons, ship power or dedicated battery supply, navigation data where fitted and GMDSS alarm or console connections.

Free of charge — we forward your request to qualified suppliers for ACR Electronics equipment from our network of over 114,000 maritime companies.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we usually come back with prices; without them we have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
