OPERATION
Ensure the SART is always fitted with an unused
battery that is within the marked expiry date.
A SART is not intended as a primary distress
alerting device. At least one of the following
should also be carried on-board your vessel to
alert the authorities to your situation: an EPIRB;
a DSC radio; an Inmarsat satellite terminal.
Once the SART is activated it will help guide the
Search and Rescue authorities to your position.
4.1 Deployment
For the best performance, it is important that
the SART is mounted as high as possible in the
life raft. The S100 SART is supplied with a tele-
scopic pole which will keep the SART at a height
of 1 meter above sea level.
Remove the pole from the back of the SART. A
lanyard is stowed under the rubber pole retain-
er.
!
The lanyard should be unwound at
this stage and tied securely to the
life raft to ensure the SART is not
lost overboard.
Remove the cap from the top of the pole and
then pull out the sections until fully extended.
Ensure the sections are locked tight by pulling
on them.
Fit the smallest section of the pole into the pole
attachment point in the base of the SART as
shown, ensuring it is pushed in tightly.
