Vessel name The SART label has a space where the vessel name is marked (see Figure 3). This can be done as follows. With an indelible pen, write the vessel name directly onto the SART. Note, however, that some indelible inks will fade when exposed to strong sunlight, so a ultra-violet (UV) resistant pen is recommended. - Page 8 CAUTION: Keep this SART at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from all magnetic sources, stereo speakers and compass installations. Installation The SART mounting bracket should be bolted to a bulkhead using four (4) suitable M6 (1/4") bolts. Mounting hardware for the bracket is not included. Hardware required depends on the bulkhead material and its thickness.

SECTION 4 - OPERATION Sequence of Operations The SART has primary and secondary indicating systems: The primary system is the indicator lights and the secondary system is the buzzer. When the switch is set to ON, the SART immediately enters the Test Mode. Here both the red light and the buzzer are tested. - Page 11 When activated the SART has three modes of operation: Receive - waiting for a valid interrogation by a radar signal. Reply - replying to a valid interrogation by a valid radar signal. Test - self-test sequence that checks both indicator lights and the buzzer.
