PRODUCT NAME - SARfinder® transportable system
10.0 Overview
The transportable versions of the SARfinder® locator units are designed to provide temporary cover for users wishing to move
from vessel to vessel. The unit has the control box display and two rechargeable batteries mounted into a waterproof peli-case.
Ideal for safety vessels moving from site to site. The operation of this system is the same as the fixed version of the
SARfinder®1003 MKIII.
10.1 Assembly of Transportable SARfinder®
10.2 Assemble the antenna in accordance with Section 2 of this booklet but do not apply any silicone sealent as you may want
to disassemble the antenna afterwards.. There are two YELLOW dipoles included with the transportable system which are to be
fitted to the ahead position of the antenna to provide a quick visual reference.
10.3 Feed the antenna cable through the antenna handle pole and connect to the underside of the antenna.
10.4 Fix the antenna handle pole to the underside of the antenna with the bolts provided.
10.5 Open the Peli-Case and connect the battery terminals (red – red, black – black). Close the Peli-Case and re-seal.
10.6 Switch on to ensure the unit is functioning and perform a quick system test as described on page 11.
The transportable SARfinder® can either be manually carried using the shoulder straps provided as shown in the photo bottom
left. Alternatively the control box (Peli-Case) can be positioned in an accessible / visible position on the boat and the antenna
held by hand or dropped into a temporary bracket as required. Always ensure the YELLOW dipoles are positioned in the AHEAD
direction (bow of boat).
IMPORTANT - If you are relying on the transportable unit for rapid response it is recommended to have the system in an
easily accessable place.
