GLOBALFIX IPRO 406 MHZ GPS EPIRB
WITH DIGITAL DISPLAY AND DUAL GPS
TECHNOLOGY
The GlobalFix iPRO utilizes both a powerful internal GPS engine and
an optical link to a shipboard GPS to ensure that accurate coordinates
are acquired and quickly beamed to Search and Rescue satellites
typically within 2 – 15 minutes vs. up to an hour or more with a non-
GPS system. High efciency electronics and an ergonomic, compact
design save a valuable commodity onboard  space
Manual Category II LowPro3 bracket has a low prole and features a
2-part design for easy mounting and quick removal when needed
Automatic Category I Sea Shelter3 bracket is fully enclosed and is
made of high-density, UV-stabilized polyethylene for years of extreme
abuse the patented rod system releases the beacon when submerged
in water between 4.9 and 13.1 ft 1.5 – 4 m

GLOBALFIX PRO
406 MHZ EPIRB WITH INTERNAL GPS
Features a professional grade, 16-channel GPS receiver for faster
location acquisition  typically 3 to 5 times faster than a conventional
GPS from a cold start. Upon activation, the built-in GPS receiver
transmits your position coordinates in a powerful 406 MHz signal along
with your registered, digitally-coded distress signal and a 121.5 MHz
SAR homing frequency. The 110-yd 100-m GPS position accuracy
is the optimum allowed by Cospas-Sarsat. The GlobalFix PRO also
features a built-in LED strobe light, full-function test mode and GPS
acquisition testing.

SATELLITE3 406
CAT I 406 MHZ EPIRB
The SATELLITE3 406 EPIRB has quietly built a reputation in the
commercial shing industry. This workhorse utilizes a proprietary
electronics package for faster, more stable 406 MHz transmissions
to low-earth orbiting LEOSAR satellites. In an emergency, your
registered, digitally-coded distress message is broadcast via
a powerful 6-watt, 406 MHz signal typically within 1 hour. An
integrated 121.5 MHz homing signal then guides local Search
and Rescue SAR efforts. Upgrade to GPS positioning with the
optional GPS interface cable sold separately. This connects the
SATELLITE3 to your vessel’s GPS receiver to continuously update
and store precise position data. GPS positioning narrows the search
radius from 2.3 nm down to .05 nm 110 yds and provides SAR
notication typically in 2–15 minutes.
Manual Category II bracket has a low prole and is easy to rail
mount or secure on deck.
Automatic Category I Sea Shelter3 bracket is fully enclosed and
is made of high density, UV-stabilized polyethylene for years of
extreme abuse the patented rod system releases the beacon when
submerged in water between 4.9 and 13.1 ft 1.5 – 4 m.
