{"product_id":"acr-resqflare-pro-3967","title":"ACR ResQFlare PRO","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ACR ResQFlare PRO is a buoyant electronic Visual Distress Signal Device (eVDSD) that meets RTCM Standard 13200.00 and 46 CFR 161.013 classification as an approved Night Visual Distress Signal. Its multi-color SOS pattern cycles three red-orange flashes (S), three cyan flashes (O), and three more red-orange flashes (S), while a simultaneous infrared component replicates the same S-O-S sequence optimized for Night Vision Goggle (NVG) detection by Search and Rescue teams. A luminous angle of 180° or greater delivers broad light distribution across the water, and the unit sustains a minimum three-hour operational life — exceeding RTCM requirements by 50%. In the U.S., carrying the ResQFlare PRO together with the included Distress Flag satisfies both day and night visual distress signal requirements under 33 CFR Part 175 for recreational vessels up to 65 feet operating on the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. coastal waters, or on any body of water with a passageway to the sea at least two miles wide, replacing the need for traditional pyrotechnic flares. In Canada, it may be carried on pleasure craft in place of pyrotechnic flares per Policy TP 13585 E when accompanied by an approved smoke signal for daytime alerting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassification: Electronic Visual Distress Signal Device (eVDSD) per RTCM 13200.00; approved Night Visual Distress Signal per 46 CFR 161.013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOS Signal Pattern: Three red-orange LED flashes (S), three cyan LED flashes (O), three red-orange LED flashes (S) — International Morse Code for S-O-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Colors: Red-orange and cyan visible LEDs plus simultaneous infrared (IR) LED optimized for Night Vision Goggles (NVG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuminous Angle: ≥180°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperational Life: Minimum 3 hours (50% beyond RTCM requirement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurn Time Advantage: Up to 15× longer than average pyrotechnic flares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuoyant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated 1-meter lanyard concealed under mid-body Velcro strap for tethering to a person or life raft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes mounting bracket and hardware for permanent vessel installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes USCG-approved Distress Flag meeting 46 CFR 160.072 (Day Visual Distress Signal); flag displays a black square over a black circle when oriented correctly and can be flown from a mast, waved on a boat hook\/paddle\/fishing rod, or laid flat on deck to attract aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eU.S. Compliance: ResQFlare PRO + Distress Flag together replace pyrotechnic flare carriage requirement on recreational vessels ≤65 ft on the Great Lakes, within 12 miles of U.S. waters, or bodies of water with a passage to the sea ≥2 miles wide (33 CFR Part 175); vessels under 16 ft need only a Night Visual Distress Signal, which the ResQFlare PRO satisfies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCanada Compliance: Accepted as pyrotechnic flare replacement on pleasure craft per Policy TP 13585 E when carried with an approved smoke signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACR Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54284466127123,"sku":"3967","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/9718\/3507\/files\/3967_1.jpg?v=1781386307","url":"https:\/\/www.elliottstackleandrigging.com\/products\/acr-resqflare-pro-3967","provider":"Elliott's Tackle \u0026 Rigging","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
