Fig. 3.1 - Testing the SART
If the SART is stored in an exposed position,
then regular cleaning is recommended. DO
NOT use solvents on this product as this may
damage the plastic components.
4. Testing the SART
As a minimum the SART should be tested
annually to ensure correct performance.
• Remove the
SART from its mounting and
rotate the security tab to the UNLOCK
position.
• Push the gray button down to the TEST
position and hold it down until the test is
completed.
3. Care and Maintenance
The SART will need very little maintenance between battery replacements. The batteries
require replacement after five years (always check the label on the battery pack), or after use.
The replacement date is shown on a label on the outside of the unit.
• Check that the indicator on the
SART is flashing. On the ship’s X-band radar observe that
the
SART is displayed as blips, adjusting the radar’s gain if necessary.
When testing is completed, return the gray button to the SAFE position and rotate the priming
tab back to the LOCK position to secure the transponder. When testing DO NOT remove the
pin.
NOTE —If the
SART is inadvertendly activated, it can be locked again by pressing down the
activation button (to the SAFE position) and reinserting the pin.

Take the SART and the mounting pole (if
available) to the life raft. When the life raft is
inflated, EITHER
(1) unwind the lanyard (which is attached to
the pin) and attach the
SART to the life raft,
OR
(2) open out the mounting pole (which will
twist-lock into position) and mount the
SART
on the thinner end of the pole. Pass it
through the aperture in the canopy and
locate the bottom of the pole in the pocket
provided. Secure the
SART with the tapes
provided on the life raft.
