Self test facility
Regular testing of the SART is advised. The duration of the test should be limited to
as short a time as possible as the SART response may be received by other
vessels which are within range.
There are no operational differences between TEST and ON modes; the rotary
switch must be held in the TEST position, on release it returns to the OFF position.
1. Ensure compliance with all applicable Health and Safety instructions when
working in proximity to a radar transmitter.
2. Locate the SART within the line of sight of an operating approved marine
Radar.
3. Rotate the switch ring anticlockwise (ie to the right) to the TEST position, and
hold it in this position.
a) If the SART responds to the radar, the red light in the base of the SART
will be continuously lit and the buzzer will sound every 2 seconds.
b) If the SART does not respond to the radar, the red light will flash every 2
seconds and the buzzer will not sound.
4. Switch off the SART by releasing the switch ring; check that it returns fully to
the OFF position.
Battery replacement
The battery should be changed 5 years from the date of manufacture shown on the
label and routine test procedures should be carried out.
It is recommended that battery change should only be performed by an authorised
McMurdo service agent, in order that a complete assessment and integrity check
can be performed. The replacement battery kit is McMurdo part number 86-630.
