©Ocean Signal Ltd. 2010 Ocean Signal User Manual for the SafeSea S100 Search and Rescue Transponder Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 User Manual Part Number Version 0.0a 2 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy This product has been evaluated for compliance with the FCC RF exposure limits given in CFR 47 part 2.1093 at a distance of 2.5cm for “Occupational Use Only” Warnings Do not operate this product without the antenna attached or with a damaged antenna. Always operate the SART with the antenna at least 2.5cm (1inch) away from you. The pulsed nature of a SART transmission will ensure that the duty cycle is below 50%. Approvals The SafeSea S100 SART complies with the requirements of Annex A.1/4.18 of European Directive 98/85/EC as amended by 2009/26/EC, for use onboard ships registered in the European Union. The SafeSea S100 SART complies with the GMDSS provisions of part 80 of the FCC rules. The S100 is designed for use in emergency only. Only operate it in situations of grave and imminent danger. Minimise the time the unit is on for when testing. The S100 incorporates a protective tab over the operating controls to avoid accidental activation and indicate that the unit has been used. After any period of operation, the battery should be replaced and the unit returned to your local service dealer for replacement of the protective tab. Always replace the battery before the expiry date is exceeded to ensure full operating capacity in case of emergency. Please ensure you follow local regulations before disposing of this item. Ensure the battery is removed from the unit before disposal. Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 User Manual Part Number Version 0.0a 3 In Case of Emergency Remove the S100 SART from its mounting or housing To manually activate the SART Following activation the SART should be tethered to the liferaft using the lanyard and mounted on the attached telescopic pole so that the SART at least 1metre above the water. Alternatively the SART may be attached to the roof or the life raft, using the tie provide by the liferaft manufacturer. 1 2 DEACTIVATION 3 Slide and hold the Green switch to the left, then slide the Red switch back into the up position and release the Green switch. TEST Rotate the Grey Switch clockwise and hold. ACTIVATION 1 - Break the switch cover 2 - Slide and hold the Green switch to the left, then slide the Red switch into the down position and release the Green switch. 3 4 Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 User Manual Part Number Version 0.0a 4 Contents Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy...................................................2 Approvals.................................................................................................2 In Case of Emergency ..............................................................................3 Contents...................................................................................................4 Controls and Indicators............................................................................5 Installation ..............................................................................................6 Operation .................................................................................................6 Activation ...............................................................................................7 Deactivation............................................................................................7 Testing...................................................................................................8 Batteries ..................................................................................................9 Battery Replacement................................................................................9 Maintenance and Troubleshooting..........................................................10 Specifications.........................................................................................11 Accessories ............................................................................................12 Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 User Manual Part Number Version 0.0a 5 Controls and Indicators 1.

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 25…

Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields This document demonstrates that the Ocean Signal SafeSea S100 Search and Rescue Transponder is in compliance with both US and EU requirements for protection of the general public from exposure to electromagnetic fields. In the US regulation 47CFR chapter 1.1310 1 specifies that in the band 1500 – 100,000MHz the exposure limit is 1mW/cm 2 . In the EU, Directive 1999/519/EC 2 Annex III; Table 2 3 gives a limit of 10W/m 2 in the frequency range 2-300GHz. (Note: converting centimetres to metres gives 1mW/cm 2 = 10W/m 2 ) From Test Report no. 10/591 4 the Measured EIRP is stated as 460mW ∴EIRP = 460mW S= 1mW/cm 2 Distance at which the power density meets the 1mW/cm 2 limit is given by r = √(P/(4 x π x S)) r = 6.1cms (= 2.4inches) Therefore the SafeSea S100 meets the requirements for exposure to radiated electromagnetic fields at a worst case distance of 11.5cms from the transmitting antenna in both the USA and Europe. Note: This calculation is based on the continuous saturated peak output power. In practice the SART will only be illuminated for a small percentage of the time, so the safe distance will be significantly reduced.
