ACR ResQFlare Pro

PRICE

$199.95

As the next advancement in electronic flares from ACR Electronics, the ResQFlare PRO Electronic Boat Flare introduces cutting edge SOS distress signaling technology. Utilizing red-orange and cyan LEDs combined with an infrared (IR) component, the ResQFlare PRO offers substantial operational life (burn time) while also significantly improving the level of visibility. Sold with the included daytime distress flag, the ResQFlare PRO and accompanying flag are certified to meet the applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements allowing them to be carried in lieu of traditional pyrotechnic flares in the U.S.

Description

Meeting the requirements of RTCM 13200.0, the buoyant ResQFlare PRO electronic boat flare is classified as an Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device (eVDSD) and utilizes multi-color SOS distress signaling to produce greater luminosity with substantially better light distribution. The use of red-orange and cyan LEDs allows for enhanced visibility on the water while the addition of an infrared (IR) component leads to even greater visibility when Night Vision equipment is in use by Search and Rescue. The ResQFlare PRO electronic boat flare facilitates rescue by emitting the flash characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S, where the first “S” is represented by three red-orange LED flashes, followed by the “O” which is represented by three cyan LED flashes, and the final “S” which is represented by another three red-orange LED flashes. Simultaneous to the visible red-orange and cyan flashing LEDs, the IR component flashes the same S-O-S pattern that is optimized for visibility via Night Vision Goggles (NVG). Perhaps most impressive, even with the extensive number of visible and IR flashes occurring, the high level of light intensity produced, and the significant light distribution range (Luminous angle ≥ 180°) that is achieved, the ResQFlare PRO still attains an impressive operational life of at least three hours (exceeding RTCM requirements by 50%).
