ACR OLAS Tag *Pack of 4

The ACR OLAS Tag Pack of 4 is a wearable crew tracker system designed to integrate with ACR Electronics' Overboard Location Alert System using Bluetooth 4.1 technology. This pack provides four tags, allowing mariners to equip an entire small crew or maintain redundancy across multiple vessels. The system detects when a tag breaks its virtual tether connection within 8 seconds, triggering an immediate alarm on paired mobile devices and recording the precise GPS coordinates of the incident.

Each OLAS tag establishes a continuous Bluetooth link with smartphones or tablets running the ACR OLAS mobile application. The 8-second detection window is critical for man-overboard response—the faster the alert, the better the chance of rapid recovery in open water conditions. GPS logging captures exact latitude and longitude at the moment of separation, providing search and rescue teams or fellow crew members with actionable coordinates rather than relying on manual estimation. The four-tag configuration suits captains managing multiple deck crew, rotating watch personnel, or operating across different vessels within a fleet.

This product serves commercial fishing operations, charter boats, sailing crews, and recreational offshore anglers where crew safety is non-negotiable. Weekend boaters benefit from basic alerting on smaller vessels, while professional mariners use OLAS as part of comprehensive man-overboard protocols alongside traditional throwable devices and lookout procedures. The system complements—rather than replaces—USCG-approved safety equipment and established recovery procedures.

ACR Electronics is recognized for marine safety electronics and emergency beacons used across commercial and recreational maritime sectors. The OLAS system represents a shift toward wearable, technology-assisted crew monitoring, filling a gap between traditional lookout practices and high-end vessel tracking systems. The pack-of-4 configuration provides flexibility for different crew sizes and deployment scenarios.
