Certied to meet USCG 160.072
The ResQFlare facilitates rescue by emitting the ash
characteristic for the International Morse Code for S-O-S.
Operating on just two user replaceable C-Cell Alkaline
batteries, the ResQFlare’s high efciency electronics allow it
to maintain the USCG required 75 cd peak equivalent xed
intensity for over 20 hours (more than 3 times longer than the
USCG requirement for maintaining this level of light intensity).
With its user replaceable battery power source, the ResQFlare
provides years of service while also negating common
inconveniences of pyrotechnic ares including their expiry
dates and stringent mandatory disposal requirements.
Meeting the requirements of 46 CFR 161.013, the ResQFlare
is classied as an approved Night Visual Distress Signal. Given
that a Distress Flag, meeting the requirements of 46 CFR
160.072, is included in the package with every ResQFlare,
users are also provided with an approved Day Visual Distress
Signal (the requirement for carriage of approved day and night
visual distress signals can be found in 33 CFR part 175).
The supplied Distress Flag provides numerous daylight
signaling options. The ag can be own by attaching to the
mast or simply hoisting to the highest possible point. It can
also be displayed by hand, tied to, and then waved on items
such as a boat hook, paddle, or shing rod, or it can be laid
at on the deck to attract aircraft. The ag should be used only
as a day signal and when displayed correctly, the black square
should be over the black circle.
Carriage of the ResQFlare and Distress Flag together allows
boaters to forego the requirement for traditional pyrotechnic
ares when on vessels up to 65’ in length, boating on the
Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. waters, or on any body of
water with a passageway to the sea at least two miles wide.
Vessels less than 16’ are not required to carry a Day Visual
Distress Signal but must still carry a Night Visual Distress
Signal, making the ResQFlare a more than viable alternative to
pyrotechnic ares for vessels of this size as well.
The addition of the ResQFlare to ACR’s line of boating safety
gear provides U.S. recreational boaters with a comprehensive
distress signaling solution. When paired with an ACR EPIRB
or Personal Locator Beacon, USCG rescue personnel not only
know where you are within minutes, but also have a visual
reference light to home in on from up to 6 miles away.
