Installation
The preferred mounting location is inside the vessel, and protected from the
elements, usually on the ship’s bridge wing. The SAR should be mounted where it
will not get in the way of day-to-day operations, but where it can readily be
accessed near an emergency exit in the event it is needed.
Do not install the SART within the ship's radar beam.
Fix the mounting bracket to a bulkhead in a convenient location. The recommended
fixing is by M5 marine grade stainless steel (eg A4/316) bolts; length is dependent
upon application. The bolts should be secured with either stainless steel locking
nuts or stainless steel nuts with stainless steel shakeproof washers.
Mount the SART, dome uppermost, onto the bracket by locating the lugs on the
SART pole mount into the slots in the bracket. Push down the SART into place, and
secure with the Velcro strap.
