Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 User Manual
Part Number Version 0.0a 6
Installation
The S100 is supplied with a quick release mounting bracket. This
bracket should be mounted on a suitable wall or bulkhead in a
position where it can easily be retrieved in an emergency.
Although the S100 is rugged and waterproof, Ocean Signal
recommends mounting the SART in a protected position whenever
possible.
Do not mount the SART closer than
1metre to any steering compass as this may
affect the accuracy of the compass.
Keep the S100 away from any strong
magnetic sources such as loudspeakers,
compass compensation magnets, etc.
Mark the location of the four screw holes
onto the mounting position. Pre-drill the
holes if required then screw the mounting
bracket to the surface using the four N
o
6 x
5/8” screws supplied.
The SART simply clips onto the mounting
bracket.
Operation
Ensure the S100 SART is always fitted with an unused battery that
is within the marked expiry date.
Remember that a SART is not intended as a primary distress
alerting device. At least one of the following should also be carried
onboard 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.
Mounting
It is important to mount and operate the SART as high as possible
in the liferaft. The SafeSea S100 is
provided with a telescopic pole which
will keep the SART at a height of 1metre
above sea level.
Remove the pole from the back of the
SART. The lanyard is stowed under the
rubber pole retainer. The lanyard
should be unwound a this stage and tied
firmly to the Liferaft to ensure it is not
