Help to prevent them; understand how to activate and disable your equipment. • Read the complete manual before installing, testing or using the SART. • The SART contains no user servicable parts. Return to your dealer for service. • Dispose of this device safely. Contents include Lithium batteries; do not incinerate, puncture, deform or short- circuit. • This device emits radio frequency radiation when activated. Because of the levels and duty cycles, such radiation is not classed as harmful. However, it is recommended that you do not hold the radome while the SART is activated. • The battery in this device is rated Class 9 for transportation purposes. Ensure compliance with all applicable regulations. 2 General description The SART (Search And Rescue Transponder) is designed for survivor location during search and rescue operations. CARRY-OFF SART Supplied as one integral unit. This is normally mounted in a bulkhead bracket (supplied) which is used to stow the unit on the mother vessel. On abandoning to a survival craft the SART can be carried in one hand off the stricken vessel and mounted through a port in the canopy of the survival craft using the telescopic pole. The main body of the SART is high visibility orange thermoplastic, attached to the sealed replaceable battery pack by stainless steel fastenings. The joint is sealed against water ingress by an O-ring. Operation is by a rotating switch ring providing ON, OFF and TEST functions. The ON position is reached by breaking a security tab. The switch ring is spring loaded so that it returns automatically from the TEST position. The Lithium battery is fitted with internal overload protection and has a five year storage life. Non-reversible electrical connections are provided in the SART body and battery pack to facilitate battery replacement. Each SART carries a unique serial number on the label on the orange body. LIFERAFT SART Supplied with or without mast. Normally is packed as part of the liferaft equipment. The mast version is mounted in the same manner as the carry-off version; the version without the mast is intended to be hung from the highest point inside the liferaft. The SART itself is identical with the carry-off version. SART principle of operation Actuating a SART enables a survival craft to show up on a search vessel's radar display as an easily recognised series of dots. RADAR (radio detection and ranging) is a device carried by most ships which is used to determine the presence and location of an object by measuring the time for the echo of a radio wave to return from it, and the direction from which it returns. A typical ship's radar will transmit a stream of high power pulses on a fixed frequency anywhere between 9.2GHz and 9.5GHz. It will collect the echoes received on the same frequency using a display known as a Plan Position Indicator (PPI), which shows the ship itself at the centre of the screen, with the echoes dotted around it. Echoes further from the centre of the screen are thus further from the ship and the relative or true bearing of each echo can be easily seen. 3 The SART operates by receiving a pulse from the search radar and sending back a series of pulses in response, which the radar will then display as if they were normal echoes. The first return pulse, if it sent back immediately, will appear in the same place on the PPI as a normal echo would have done. Subsequent pulses, being slightly delayed, appear to the radar like echoes from objects further away. A series of dots is therefore shown, leading away from the position of the SART. This distinctive pattern is much easier to spot than a…

The EUT under test is required to perform to criterion A as described in 10.1 of IEC 60945, which states: - performance criterion A: the EUT shall continue to operate as intended during and after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed, as defined in the relevant equipment standard and in the technical specification published by the manufacturer. The SART was placed in a modulated electric field of strength 10V/m swept over the frequency range 80MHz to 2GHz. The modulation applied was 400Hz ± 10% to a depth of 80% ± 10%. Between the frequencies of 1.445GHz to 1.85GHz, the SART responded as if it were being triggered by an X-band radar i.e. with 12 sweeps between 9.2GHz to 9.5GHz. Referring to Figure 1 on page 2, investigations showed that the gate of FET T18 was picking up the interrogating signal. The signal was then fed straight into the video amp via the Drain of T18, causing the SART to respond with 12 sweeps. The solution to this was to solder a SIMID 0805 68nH inductor (L1) to the gate of T18, as shown in Figure 1 page 2 and also Figure 2 page 3. The inductor is self-resonant at 1.550GHz, when the solution was modelled in the software package Rfsimm99 the unwanted signals were reduced by some 30dB, as shown in Figure 3 page 4. A new SART was built to this standard and submitted to TüV for retest. This modification will be incorporated into the PCB (Part No 86-500) build standard for Production.
