Installation
Tron AIS-SART can be mounted several ways near the emergency exit of
the vessel. Normally, in the wheelhouse at the starboard or port exit (or
both depending on the requirements) and inside a liferaft or lifeboat.
If the Tron AIS-SART is used in an emergency, it should be mounted
vertically as high as possible to increase line of sight to the search and
rescue units. Since the Tron AIS-SART has an integrated GPS receiver, it
needs clear view to the sky to obtain GPS position.
Avoid having metal objects close to the unit, these will
limit performance in the directions they are located.

7.1.1
Mounting the wall bracket
A wall bracket is delivered with the Tron AIS-SART and should be used for
storage of the unit.
The bracket should be mounted in a vertical position
and placed where the Tron AIS-SART is easily available in
the case of an emergency.
