Drukuj stronęTo achieve the maximum useful range, the SART must be mounted at least
3.3 feet (1 meter) above sea level. Increasing the height of the SART
antenna will increase the range. For example, lashing the SART to the top of
a pole or an oar in the survival craft will increase the height and thus the
range.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) requires all vessels of more
than 300 GRT to carry at least one SART and vessels 500 GRT and over
must carry at least two SARTs, while RoRo Ferries are required to carry one
SART for every four survival crafts.
Figure 2 shows the key features of your PathFinder™
activation switch ring is located under the white top cap. Located in the
middle of the switch ring is a red pull tab that must be removed to activate
your SART. The pull tab locks the switch ring in place and stops the SART
from accidentally being placed in the ON position.
Turning the switch ring to the left allows you to test the SART. When held to
the left, the SART will beep once and continue to flash every four seconds.
When released, the switch ring will return to the OFF position. TEST mode
is identical to ON mode and will generate a "distress" pattern on any radar
within range. Use TEST mode carefully to avoid false alarms.
To activate your SART in times of emergency, turn the blue activation
switch ring to the left into the test position and remove the red pull tab by
pulling down on the lanyard attached to the tab. Turn the blue activation
switch ring to the right and into the ON position (see the OPERATION
section complete activation instructions).
When first turned ON, the SART will beep once and continue to flash every
four seconds. The SART is now operational. When responding to radar, the
red light flashes every 1 second and the SART will beep every second. For
best results a telescopic pole is supplied in the base of your SART allowing
mounting 1m (3.3 ft) above sea level.
