GlobalFix V6 Category 2 EPIRB with Return Link Service & Mobile App

The new ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB is a versatile Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon suitable for use on both recreational and commercial vessels. 

Features 

High-tech features like Return Link Service (RLS) reassure users by confirming that the beacon has successfully sent the distress message and that this message has been received. ACR’s new Near Field Communication (NFC) allows the beacon to connect to a smartphone for quick diagnostics that demonstrate the battery is charged and the EPIRB is functioning correctly. The GlobalFix V6 is an ideal safety solution for all types of vessels and activities, including coastal cruising, offshore passage-making, or working or fishing in any ocean.

Reliable Worldwide Digital Mayday Tells Rescuers Where to Search

The ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB accurately derives its position globally through the GNSS (GPS, Galileo, and Glonass) positioning networks. Triggering the device produces a digital distress transmission using a 406 MHz distress transmission that relays the GPS EPIRB (GPIRB) position, accurate to within 100 meters, to the worldwide Cospas Sarsat search and rescue satellite network. 

Position information and vessel identification are then relayed by the satellites to ground stations, which ultimately helps decide the scope of the rescue operation to be launched. Once the EPIRB is activated, a 121.5 MHz signal is transmitted in addition to the higher frequency satellite signal. This 121.5 MHz homing signal aids rescuers in finding the device when they arrive at the rescue scene, which is particularly important if the beacon has drifted from its original location. The GlobalFix V6 EPIRB also emits both a visual and infrared strobe to help rescuers pinpoint the beacon and speed rescue operations.

Near Field Communication (NFC) Ensures the EPIRB is Functioning Properly

Using ACR’s free smartphone app and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, users can easily access EPIRB diagnostics. Placing a smartphone adjacent to the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB opens the ACR Product App, which shows EPIRB data. The app shows the current battery life of the beacon, the number of GNSS and self-tests completed, and the amount of time the EPIRB has been activated. 

Users can see detailed information on each self-test and GNSS test the device performs. GNSS tests include a map view demonstrating where previous tests were performed, the date and time of the tests, 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 fix’s accuracy. NFC allows users to routinely check the status of all EPIRB functions to ensure they are working properly and ready to go in case of an emergency.

Return Link Service (RLS)

Return Link Service indicates to the user that an EPIRB rescue transmission has been received. The RLS signal is sent back through the Galileo satellite network, confirming that the digital Mayday, including precise beacon location and identifiers, has been delivered. An easy-to-see flashing blue light indicates the EPIRB’s successful reception of the Return Link message through the Galileo satellite network. Those in distress who have triggered the beacon and received the RLS confirmation know that rescuers will be made aware of the EPIRB activation and location and that rescue operations will be launched.

ACR is a globally recognized leader in marine electronic rescue devices and other life-saving products. They build quality rescue equipment solutions like the new ACR GlobalFix V6 EPIRB that is suitable for all types and sizes of vessels in both the recreational and commercial sectors. 

Long life Lithium batteries, global 406 MHz satellite transmission, a 121.5 MHz homing signal, visual and infrared strobes, and a Return Link Service that tells users their rescue signal has been received are all packed into a durable waterproof beacon. Near-field communication and the free ACR App allow users to check the EPIRB status for added reliability. Mariners cruising coastal waters, working offshore, or crossing oceans will appreciate the advanced features of the GlobalFix V6 EPIRB.

It's a fit
This was a good fit for my 2010 Camry. Way nicer than the air filter I had in there before. I don't know what all those charcoal things do but it makes me feel like my car will have better air than the rest of of life. All the packaging and labels were Chinese, so I had to take my best guess about which way the air was supposed to flow. Other than that it was pretty easy to install. Just stick it in the hole. Seems to work well, I haven't noticed any new noises. Seems like a higher end filter. Hopefully it lasts the ten years before I change it next

Very Different, But Works Well
This is built much different than the others. It has a foam seal around the edges. The filter portion is standard, but the carbon activated material is a setoff beads suspended between a screen a honeycomb structure. There is air freshener built-in to help with the smell in the car. Fits well in my 2015 RAV4. Just as easy to install as any other filter. The price is on the high side so with this one I am hoping to get at least one year of use from it.

Well-Made Carbon Cabin FIlter
I love the honeycomb carbon filter on this cabin filter. It looks like it will do an excellent job cleaning the air in my car. It came in a cardboard box and was easy to install and fit my Toyota well. I would have appreciated some arrows on it, like other filters come with, to let me know I was inserting it correctly. I just followed the example of the one already in my car. If you accidentally take that one out first, you may not remember which side goes where. So, my improvement would be arrows on the filter itself. Otherwise, the airflow seems great, it functions well and seems to be a great quality!

Use activated carbon to clean the air naturally!
This is a serious air filter with activated carbon inside of it and I'm here for it. I use little activated carbon bags in my car already as an air freshener because I hate those fake chemical scents from the little trees or from the car wash. The chemicals in those fake scents give me migraines. I absolutely love the idea of putting the active carbon in the cabin air filter itself to clean the air. This fits prefecture in my 2017 toyota prius v. It was just a easy to install as any purge cabin air filter. The hardest part is opening all the parts of the glove box to get the old one out. This filter seems sturdier than my last one and it's a good value for the money.

Perfect fit for 2016 Corolla!
Fit's my 2016 Corolla perfect. Has a sturdy frame. Other name brand ones I have purchased before don't have the sturdy frame and squish up. This comes with tiny fragrant beads on the top part and has a light fresh scent when the air is on. Very happy so far.
