RapidFix 406™
406 MHz EPIRB with GPS Interface Product No. 2776 Cat. I (Automatically Deployable) GPS interface-optical data Interface via infrared diode (NMEA 0183): New, flashing LED in GPS interface confirms data transmission from GPS; downloaded GPS coordinates confirmed by flashing LEDs within three seconds of completing self-test sequence
Patented proprietary electronics package for faster, more stable 406 frequency transmission; full functional self-test including battery voltage and internal circuitry
Fully enclosed, high density, UV stabilized polyethylene bracket hydrostatic release
Automatically deploys EPIRB if vessel sinks to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
Fastest means available of delivering GPS position
Field programmable built-in vessel code can be reprogrammed by an ACR Authorized Service Center worldwide (Maritime/Serialized/Radio Call Sign/MID Protocols, Country Code, etc.)
Lanyard coil retained with all around cover for non-tangling deployment
Universal usage illustrations; English and French languages
World's smallest 406 MHz EPIRB that meets all regulations and is fully approved worldwide
Built-in strobe for enhanced location in poor visibility conditions
Single, three-position switch for easy test and operation. Steady green LED indicates unit has passed full functional test, flashing red LED indicates unit is "ON"
