Notes on programming:
This EPIRB must be programmed with your personal data, at least the MMSI, the boat name and your callsign, before it is dispatched. The appliance will not function without prior programming.
The programming of this data must be carried out by us, you cannot do this yourself.
Please add the above-mentioned programming accordingly and complete the form in full.
We would also like to point out that, in accordance with the regulations of the respective country, you must register the EPIRB personally as the licence holder with the competent authority.

The ACR GlobalFIX V6 is triggered manually using a button, which is protected against false triggering by a corresponding cap, or automatically upon water contact as soon as the EPIRB has been removed from the holder.
FloatFree mount
The FloatFree version of the ACR GlobalFIX V6 has a special bracket that allows outdoor mounting. The interchangeable hydrostatic trigger mechanism activates when it is in a water depth of 1.5 - 4 metres.
ACR, a world leader in electronic safety equipment for recreational and commercial boating, has introduced the ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB, the latest generation of emergency radio beacon. This ultra-modern EPIRB uses a 406 MHz satellite link to send distress signals to the global rescue system Cospas Sarsat. Through the innovative Return Link Service (RLS) technology, the user receives a visual confirmation that the distress signal has been successfully received. A 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescue workers locate the activated beacon on site. Visible infrared strobe lights enable better visibility in low light and help speed up rescue operations. An additional feature called Near Field Communication (NFC) allows users to monitor the EPIRB's function via a smartphone app. ACR is committed to maritime safety and the new GlobalFix V6 EPIRB offers advanced rescue technology in a robust and reliable device that can be used worldwide.
The ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB accurately derives its position anywhere in the world using GNSS (GPS, Galileo, Glonass) positioning networks. Upon activation 406 MHz distress transmissions relay the GPS EPIRB (GPIRB) position, accurate to within 100 meters, to the worldwide Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network. EPIRB identifiers and position information is relayed to ground stations through the satellite system initiating rescue operations. In addition to the satellite signal, once the EPIRB is activated, a 121.5 MHz homing signal is transmitted to help rescue workers locate the unit when they arrive at the rescue site. This is especially important if the beacon has drifted from its original position. The GlobalFix V6 EPIRB also emits visible and infrared strobe lights for easy target identification at night or in poor visibility.
Smartphone Connectivity utilising Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC (Near Field Communication) technology allows users to access EPIRB diagnostics using their smartphones. When a smartphone is placed adjacent to the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB, the ACR Product App automatically opens providing access to the beacons data. Beacon status information in the app includes current battery life, number of self-tests completed, number of GNSS tests completed, and the amount of time the EPIRB has been activated. Detailed information on each self-test and GNSS test performed by the device is also available. GNSS tests show a map view pinpointing where the previous test was performed, the date and time of the test, how long it took the EPIRB to get a fix on the GNSS coordinates, the number of satellites used to obtain that fix, and the accuracy of the fix. Easy App connectivity with NFC allows users to easily check the status of all EPIRB functions to ensure it is working properly.
RLS function
Return Link Service (RLS) tells whoever triggers the EPIRB that the distress message has been delivered. An RLS signal sent back through the Galileo satellite network confirms that the distress message along with the precise beacon location and identifiers have been detected. An easy-to-see flashing blue light indicates the EPIRB’s successful reception of the Return Link message from the Galileo satellite network. Persons in distress who have triggered the beacon and receive the RLS confirmation can be assured that the emergency services have been informed of the activation and position of the EPIRB and rescue action will be initiated.
ACR is the recognised global leader in marine electronic life-saving equipment and other life-saving products. They offer high quality solutions for rescue equipment, such as the new ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB, which is suitable for all types and sizes of vessels in the leisure and commercial sectors. The EPIRB is equipped with long-life lithium batteries, 406 MHz global satellite transmission, a 121.5 MHz homing signal and visible and infrared strobe lights. The Return Link Service confirms to users that their rescue signal has been received. All these functions are integrated into a robust waterproof beacon. Added reliability is provided by the ability to check EPIRB status via Near Field Communication (NFC) and the free ACR app. The new and advanced feature set of the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB makes it perfect for mariners whether coastal cruising, working offshore or crossing oceans.
