5.2 Self-test & inspection
It is recommended to self-test the AIS SART every 6 months; more frequent self-testing can put
unnecessary drain on the battery. When self-testing, a specially coded AIS test transmission is
sent that will be visible to all AIS users in the locality. As a successful self-test result is
dependent on GNSS position acquisition; testing must be carried out in the open and under an
unobstructed sky.
5.3 Self-test procedure
Remove the AIS SART from its carry bag and assemble the top section onto the mounting pole.
It is not necessary to fully extend the mounting pole. Take the AIS SART outside and hold it aloft
under a clear view of the sky; this will then maximize the speed of the GNSS position fix.
