ACR AquaLink™ 406 MHz GPS Personal Locator Beacon

ACR Electronics Introduces the AquaLink™ 406 Mhz GPS PLB - Next Generation of PLBs

Smaller, Lighter and now with a Strobe Light and Multi-Use GPS Acquisition Testing!

The AquaLink , which recently received FCC approval, features a new strobe light function and multi-use GPS acquisition testing. The AquaLink represents one of the smallest, lightest 406 GPS PLBs in the world. The rugged, one-button activated, emergency signaling device is perfect for offshore boaters and sailors and outdoor enthusiasts heading into remote areas.

The AquaLink™ has all new high performance features such as:

* Built-in, super bright LED strobe light increases visibility to Search and Rescue.

* Onboard 66-channel parallel GPS acquires then transmits LAT/LON when the unit is activated, dramatically saving valuable time for the distress message to reach local rescue centers, and provide rescue agencies with exact position to within 110 yards (100 meters).

* In addition to full functional self testing of internal circuitry, battery voltage and power, the AquaLink™ allows for an increased number of long GPS acquisition tests—up to 12 times per life of battery.

* More efficient design uses less power, making it lighter & is inherently buoyant.

Head offshore with confidence. With three levels of integrated signal technology — GPS positioning, a powerful 406 MHz signal and 121.5 MHz homing capability — the AquaLink™ quickly and accurately relays your position to a worldwide network of Search and Rescue satellites, reducing search time and increasing your chances of survival. It’s reliable signaling technology that has saved more than 26,800 lives since 1982.

The AquaLink™ broadcasts a unique registered distress signal that not only tells rescuers where you are, but who you are. The onboard GPS can fix your position to within 100 meters and then utilizes a powerful 406 MHz signal to relay your distress call to orbiting satellites. As local Search and Rescue is deployed, a separate homing signal and integrated LED strobe light guide rescuers to your exact location.

The AquaLink™ is small enough to be easily carried in a pack or pocket or can be worn on deck, at the helm, in quarters or on a life vest and will float if accidentally dropped overboard. Performing a full functional self test of the PLB’s internal circuitry, battery voltage & power, and 406 MHz transmission gives you peace of mind knowing your PLB will work the moment you need it most. ACR Exclusive: Built-in GPS acquisition test mode allows you to test GPS functionality up to 12 times over the life of the battery.

Tap in to the same field-tested rescue technology used by the U.S. Military, U.S. Coast Guard, NATO Special Forces and Arctic explorers.
