SIMRAD SA50 Search and Rescue Transponder(SART) MAXIMIZING YOUR PERFORMANCE AT SEA www.simrad.com 2. Activating the SART In the event of an emergency remove the SARTfrom its bracket and (1)flip the black plastic tab from left (LOCK) to right (UNLOCK). (2) To activate the SARTremove the pin by pulling it downward. Fig. 1.1 - The SIMRAD SA50 Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) Use back clip to attach to mounting bracket 1 2 The SIMRAD SA50Search & Rescue Transponder ( SART) is a slim and light- weight emergency transponder, which can be deployed within minutes. The SA50can be both manually or automatically activ- ated. 1. Installation Using the supplied bulkhead bracket, mount the SARTin a suitable and protected location, where it can be easily reached in the event of an emergency. The SARTwill simply clip onto the bracket provided. The SARTmay also be pre-packed in the life raft, in which case the manufacturer will provide mounting instructions for use when the life raft is inflated. IMPORTANT! The SA50must not be installed within the main beam of the ship’s radar. A compass-safe distance of at least 1m (3 ft) must be observed. Mounting bracket Fig. 2.1 - Activating the SART Part No. E04722 Issue 1.0 03-Nov-04 CR Fig. 3.1 - Testing the SART If the SARTis stored in an exposed position, then regular cleaning is recommended. DO NOTuse solvents on this product as this may damage the plastic components. 4. Testing the SART As a minimum the SARTshould be tested annually to ensure correct performance. •Remove the SARTfrom 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 SARTwill 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 SARTis flashing. On the ship’s X-band radar observe that the SARTis 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 NOTremove the pin. NOTE —If the SARTis inadvertendly activated, it can be locked again by pressing down the activation button (to the SAFE position) and reinserting the pin. For further information about the SIMRADproduct range and services, please visit our website at:www.simrad.com. Take the SARTand 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 SARTto 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 SARTwith the tapes provided on the life raft.

Introduction 1.1 The customer requested Marine Approval & Testing Services (MATS) part of the EMC Group QinetiQ Farnborough, conduct validation testing on a Search & Rescue Transponder. The selected tests on the Simrad SART were conducted in accordance with specification BS EN 61097 Operational & Performance Requirements for Search & Rescue Transponder. Testing was conducted at QinetiQ Farnborough and QinetiQ Fraser Range. Note that testing to BS EN 61097 is not accredited. 2. Equipment under Test 2.1 The following item was supplied:- Item No Item Type No Serial No 1 Search & Rescue Transponder SA50 T.A.Unit # 001 2.2 Duration of Testing 2.2.1 The SART was tested during October – November 2004 3. Build Standard of Test Sample 3.1 The item supplied for test is a production item. 4. Tests and Assessments 4.1 To confirm SART function during testing a portable microwave source was used. 4.2 The Search & Rescue Transponder was tested to the following selected clauses of specification BS EN 61097 . Clause Test Description 6.2.7 Immersion Test 6.2.8 Thermal Shock 6.2.9 Flotation 6.7 Range Performance 6.9.4 Sweep Characteristics ( PW & Sweeps) 6.9.5 Radiated Power 6.9.9 Front End Protection 5.
