ResQLink 400 — Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) Floating

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is a personal locator beacon (PLB) designed to alert search and rescue services in case of an emergency, whether at sea, on land, or in the air. It transmits a precise distress signal that allows rescue teams to quickly locate the user.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is designed to be floating, which is a crucial advantage if accidentally dropped in water, ensuring it stays on the surface and can be easily retrieved or continue transmitting its signal.

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is waterproof and can withstand immersion up to 5 meters for 1 hour or up to 10 meters for 10 minutes. Its robust design allows it to handle marine environments.

The ResQLink 400 beacon is compact with dimensions of 11.48 cm (length) x 5.16 cm (width) x 3.78 cm (depth) and a lightweight weight of 148 grams, making it easy to carry.

Once activated, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon provides a transmission battery life of 24 hours or more, ensuring sufficient time for search and rescue operations.

The technical battery life of the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is 5 years. It is important to check the battery expiration date to ensure proper operation in an emergency.

The ResQLink 400 beacon uses triple signaling technology, including:

A 406.037 MHz distress frequency to alert the global Cospas Sarsat satellite network. A 121.5 MHz homing signal to help rescue teams precisely locate the beacon once on scene. Visible and infrared strobe lights for improved visual visibility, especially at night or in low-light conditions.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is equipped with an integrated GPS and Galileo GNSS receiver. This system allows it to transmit your position quickly and with high accuracy (100 meters or less) to search and rescue services.

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is designed to operate within an operational temperature range of -20°C to +55°C. For storage, it can withstand temperatures from -30°C to +70°C, ensuring reliability in various climatic conditions.

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is manually activated. In an emergency, unfold the antenna and then press the power button to trigger the distress signal.

Yes, the ResQLink 400 beacon is powered by lithium batteries (LiMnO2) that are classified as non-hazardous, ensuring safe use and transport.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is Cospas Sarsat certified, ensuring compliance with international standards for distress beacons and integration into the global search and rescue network.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon features visible and infrared strobe lights. These lights are designed to improve the user's visibility to rescue teams, particularly at night or in low-light conditions.

Yes, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon is compatible with the MEOSAR (Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue) system, which enhances global detection and location of distress signals.

Yes, like all Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) operating on the 406 MHz frequency, the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon must be registered with the competent national authorities (in France, the ANFR). This registration is crucial as it allows rescue services to access your contact information and details about your vessel or activity in the event of beacon activation, speeding up rescue operations.

The ResQLink 400 PLB is a personal locator beacon designed to be worn on the body or attached to a lifejacket or easily accessible equipment. It must be kept within reach to allow quick activation in an emergency. Its compact and lightweight design (148g) makes it easy to carry.

No, the ACR ResQLink 400 PLB does not require any subscription. Once purchased and registered, it can be used without additional fees for distress signal transmission.

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon integrates a GNSS receiver compatible with GPS and Galileo systems. This dual compatibility ensures fast and precise location tracking of your position via the global Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellite network.

The ACR ResQLink 400 beacon comes with a 5-year product warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and ensures the reliability of your safety equipment.

The 5-year product warranty for the ACR ResQLink 400 beacon covers the entire device, including the battery, against manufacturing defects. However, the technical battery lifespan is also 5 years, and replacement is typically performed after this period or after actual use of the beacon in an emergency.
