The new V6 model EPIRB is an upgrade and direct replacement to the discontinued GlobalFix V4 EPIRB, now with added features and technology. 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 properly. A 121.5 MHz homing signal helps rescuers find the activated beacon when they are on the scene. Visible and infrared strobe lights aid in target identification at night or when visibility is limited - making for a faster rescue and recovery. The GlobalFix V6 is an ideal safety solution for all types of vessels and activities including coastal cruising, offshore passage making, or while working or fishing in any body of water. ACR is dedicated to marine safety and the new Global Fix V6 EPIRB provides sophisticated rescue technology in a durable and reliable device that works globally. Review: Absolutely must have for your boat if going offshore. Gives an added level of safety while out on the water. Review: Thankfully, I haven’t had to use it yet. LOL! That said, it is high quality. Set up on the app was simple. Testing is also simple and explained in the instructions. I was would suggest anyone going offshore have one of these on their boats. It is not cheap, but I would rather invest a few dollars so when the unexpected happens, you are ready and aren’t stuck out at sea waiting for someone to come by and rescue you. ## Features - RLS (Return Link Service) confirms that Search and Rescue has received the distress signal, notifying the beacon owner that assistance is on the way. - 406 MHz COSPAS-SARSAT distress signal (MEOSAR compatible), GPS, Galileo, GLONASS GNSS, & 121.5 MHz local homing signal for precise emergency location. - NFC technology enables easy access to beacon data via mobile, showing battery life, tests, activation time, GNSS details, map, & accuracy information. - Small and lightweight beacon with strobe and infrared strobe for improved visibility in emergencies, ensuring fast identification and a smooth rescue. - 10-year battery life & no subscription required, this beacon offers reliable performance and convenience, ensuring long-lasting use during emergencies ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C9P531LZ | | Are Batteries Included? | Yes | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Battery Average Life | 10 years | | Box Contents | EPIRB Mounting Hardware, Cat I Bracket, Cat II Bracket, HRU | | Brand Name | ACR | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Boat | | Connectivity Protocol | NFC | | Control Method | App | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (43) | | Display Type | Digital | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 Years | | Human Interface Types | Buttons | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 47L x 10.9W x 11.1H centimetres | | Item Weight | 1.78 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ACR Electronics | | Manufacturer Part Number | RLB-43 | | Map Coverage Type | Nautical | | Model Name | Globalfix V6 Epirb | | Model Number | RLB-43 | | Model Year | 2022 | | Mounting Type | Panel Mount | | Network Connectivity Technology | NFC | | Product Features | Waterproof | | Sport Type | Boating | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | Touch Screen Type | Resistive | | UPC | 791659028544 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Stereo - **Battery life:** 10 years - **Brand:** ACR - **Connectivity technology:** NFC - **Included components:** EPIRB Mounting Hardware, Cat I Bracket, Cat II Bracket, HRU - **Map type:** Nautical - **Model name:** Globalfix V6 Epirb - **Mounting type:** Panel Mount - **Special feature:** Waterproof - **Vehicle service type:** Boat ## Images ![ACR GLOBALFIX V6 GPS EPIRB SOS, Global Coverage, Return Link Service & Mobile App - CAT 2 Manual Release Bracket (2854) - Global Satellite Emergency Signaling for Search & Rescue,10 Year Battery Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51apMSVjtUL.jpg) ![ACR GLOBALFIX V6 GPS EPIRB SOS, Global Coverage, Return Link Service & Mobile App - CAT 2 Manual Release Bracket (2854) - Global Satellite Emergency Signaling for Search & Rescue,10 Year Battery Life - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61j+jFKxFwL.jpg) ![ACR GLOBALFIX V6 GPS EPIRB SOS, Global Coverage, Return Link Service & Mobile App - CAT 2 Manual Release Bracket (2854) - Global Satellite Emergency Signaling for Search & Rescue,10 Year Battery Life - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DtDrZv+5L.jpg) ![ACR GLOBALFIX V6 GPS EPIRB SOS, Global Coverage, Return Link Service & Mobile App - CAT 2 Manual Release Bracket (2854) - Global Satellite Emergency Signaling for Search & Rescue,10 Year Battery Life - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iq21mss3L.jpg) ![ACR GLOBALFIX V6 GPS EPIRB SOS, Global Coverage, Return Link Service & Mobile App - CAT 2 Manual Release Bracket (2854) - Global Satellite Emergency Signaling for Search & Rescue,10 Year Battery Life - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41DFrfE2mJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the batteries replaceable?** A: Not to my knowledge, the unit is sealed so water doesn’t corrode the GPS board. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***N on 16 January 2026* Absolutely must have for your boat if going offshore.
