ACR 3967 ResQFlare PRO High Intensity Electronic LED Emergency Boat Flare

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%).

NOTE: Prior to installing batteries, using the attached lanyard (found under the velcro), tether the top body to the attachment point found at the bottom of the battery compartment.

What’s Included:

In addition to the distress flag, also included is a bracket and the corresponding mounting hardware allowing users to conveniently mount the product to the vessel so that the ResQFlare PRO is always accessible when needed. A 1 meter lanyard can also be found concealed beneath the black Velcro strap around the mid-body of the product. This lanyard can be used to tether the ResQFlare PRO to a person or life raft in an emergency situation.

In Canada the ResQFlare PRO can be carried on pleasure craft in lieu of pyrotechnic flares (Policy TP 13585 E) if carried with an approved smoke signal (for daytime alerting).
