Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB)
Model Number: RLB-38 / Part Number 2875
This redesigned workhorse utilizes patented, proprietary electronics package for faster, more stable 406 MHz transmissions to low-earth orbiting LEOSAR satellites.
The ACR SATELLITE series has quietly built a strong reputation in the commercial and recreational marine industry. This redesigned workhorse utilizes a patented, proprietary electronics package for faster, more stable 406 MHz transmissions to low-earth orbiting LEOSAR satellites.
Upgrade to GPS positioning with the optional GPS interface cable (sold separately). This connects the SATELLITE 3 406™ to your vessel's GPS receiver to continuously update and store precise position data. GPS positioning provides SAR notification typically within 2-15 minutes. The manual Category II QuickDraw™ has a low profile and is easy to rail mount or secure on deck.
Send I'M OK messages with optional 406Link.com non-emergency messaging service.Full functional self-test including battery voltage and internal circuitry. Bright LED strobe conserves battery power without sacrificing intensity. Single, three-position switch for easy test and operation. Lanyard coiled on recessed spool for non-tangling deployment.
