<h3>About ACR Electronics</h3><p>When lives are on the line, professionals and adventurers around the world reach for ACR Electronics. <strong>Founded in 1956</strong>, ACR has spent nearly seven decades engineering survival and safety electronics with a singular purpose: to bring people home. From the depths of the ocean to the cockpits of aircraft, ACR's products have earned the trust of NASA, the U.S. Military, the U.S. Coast Guard, and countless everyday explorers.</p><p>ACR Electronics designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of rescue and signaling technology for the marine, aviation, outdoor, and military markets. Their lineup spans rescue beacons, communication devices, and high-powered lighting solutions — all built to perform when conditions are at their most demanding. Whether you're an offshore sailor, a backcountry hiker, a bush pilot, or a commercial fisherman, there's an ACR product engineered for your environment.</p><h3>Emergency Beacons &amp; Locating Devices</h3><p>ACR is perhaps best known for its industry-leading <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-epirbslocating-beacons-200377">EPIRBs and personal locating beacons</a>. Their GlobalFix EPIRB series combines 406 MHz satellite connectivity with Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality, transmitting distress signals to the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue network while simultaneously broadcasting AIS messages on VHF frequencies to nearby vessels. Features like Return Link Service (RLS) — which provides direct-to-beacon confirmation that a distress signal has been received — and Near Field Communication (NFC) for smartphone diagnostics represent the cutting edge of rescue beacon technology. Their ResQLink Personal Locator Beacon line brings similar technology into a compact, buoyant, subscription-free package for individual users on land or water.</p><h3>Marine Lighting &amp; Searchlights</h3><p>ACR's lighting lineup is equally impressive. Their <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-remote-control-spotlights-200861">remote control spotlights</a> are engineered for serious marine use, offering the ability to switch seamlessly between floodlight and spotlight modes with precision remote joystick control — ideal for night navigation, search and rescue, or docking in tight quarters. For boaters who prefer a handheld solution, ACR's <a href="/200510-handheld-spotlights-accessories-acr-electronics-7223">handheld spotlights and accessories</a> deliver powerful, portable illumination with the durability to handle harsh marine environments.</p><h3>Marine Communication</h3><p>Reliable communication is a cornerstone of on-water safety, and ACR's <a href="/201143-vhf-radios-handheld-acr-electronics-7223">handheld VHF radios</a> are built to meet that need. Their GMDSS-certified VHF radios are fully waterproof, IMO and SOLAS compliant, and engineered to provide clear voice communication in both routine and emergency situations. Models like the SR203 Survival Radio automatically tune to emergency Channel 16 upon activation, putting distress communication literally at your fingertips.</p><h3>Electrical Parts &amp; Accessories</h3><p>To keep your safety gear functioning at peak performance, ACR also offers a range of <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-electrical-parts-accessories-200355">electrical parts and accessories</a> — including power cables, connectors, battery replacement services, and light bulbs compatible with their searchlight and beacon product lines. These components ensure that your ACR equipment is always ready for deployment when it matters most.</p><p>From the mountains to the open ocean, ACR Electronics remains the benchmark for life-saving technology — a brand where innovation and reliability are never optional.</p>

Product Details

The ACR Electronics ResQFlare PRO is a USCG-approved electronic visual distress signal device (eVDSD) that meets RTCM Standard 13200.00 requirements. This innovative safety device uses multi-color LED technology with red-orange and cyan flashing lights to emit the international Morse Code S-O-S distress pattern, providing enhanced visibility on water. An integrated infrared (IR) component flashes simultaneously for improved detection by Search and Rescue teams using Night Vision Goggles.

Key Features:

  • Visible over 8 miles with 360° visibility and luminous angle ≥180°
  • Extended 3-hour operational life (exceeds RTCM requirements by 50%)
  • Maximum light intensity of 170 cd with average effective intensity ≥50 cd
  • User-replaceable batteries (8x CR123 Lithium batteries, not included)
  • Automatically rights itself and floats when in water
  • Waterproof construction rated IP67
  • Includes USCG-approved distress flag (46 CFR 160.072), mounting bracket with hardware, and 1-meter lanyard

Approved Replacement for Pyrotechnic Flares:

When carried together, the ResQFlare PRO and included distress flag satisfy USCG requirements for visual distress signals on recreational vessels up to 65 feet operating on the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. waters, or bodies of water with passageways to the sea at least two miles wide. This eliminates the need for traditional pyrotechnic flares with their expiration dates, disposal requirements, and safety concerns.

Advantages Over Pyrotechnic Flares:

  • No expiration date or mandatory hazardous material disposal requirements
  • Family-safe operation with no burning flame or heat
  • Simple activation suitable for all ages and experience levels
  • Dual distress signaling methods: multi-color LED and infrared strobes
  • Battery replacement capability extends emergency operating time
  • Burn time 15 times greater than average pyrotechnic flares

Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the ResQFlare PRO has been tested to IEC 60945 standards for dry heat, damp heat, low temperature, thermal shock, drop, vibration, solar radiation, rain, spray, corrosion, and electromagnetic compatibility. The included distress flag provides multiple daylight signaling options and can be flown from a mast, waved by hand, or laid flat to attract aircraft attention.

Note: In Canada, the ResQFlare PRO must be carried with an approved smoke signal for daytime alerting per Policy TP 13585 E. For other countries, consult your national maritime authority regarding acceptance of eVDSDs meeting RTCM 13200.00.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including lead and lead compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
