Description
The ACR HydroFix EPIRB HRU Hydrostatic Release Unit
The HydroFix™ Hydrostatic Release Unit is a patented rod system that allows a beacon to be quickly and reliably released from a Category I bracket when submerged in water between 1.5-4 meters (4.9-13.1 feet). This unit is designed to work with the EPIRB brackets we stock, and a few other models, please call to check if this would be suitable for your unit.
A patented rod system does not rely on a battery, blade or pyrotechnic device to release the beacon. This advantage allows for a quick, seamless and reliable release in an emergency.
