This handy device from ACR automatically inflates upon activation of your life jacket, sending an initial alert within 15 seconds to all AIS receivers and chartplotters within the vicinity. The personal locator beacon transmits positioning and MOB emergency messages up to 5 miles away from your emergency situation. AISLink MOB's integrated GPS quickly pinpoints a precise location and transmits this as part of the AIS alert message to all local AIS equipped vessels - increasing your chances of rescue.
ACR have also added an integrated high intensity strobe light, increasing your visibility in the water. The unit is powered by powerful lithium metal batteries that provide over 24 hours of operational life - these batteries are protected by the high-impact housing that can withstand a drop of 20 metres.
