1 SAFETY NOTICES
1.1 Use
An AIS SART ‘search and rescue locating device’ is designed to assist in
survivor craft location during search and rescue operations. AIS SART’s are
primarily intended for fitment by SOLAS vessels under carriage requirement
rules. The rules differ depending on type and size of vessel and life raft. In
general, at least one search and rescue locating device is carried on each
side of a passenger or cargo ship over 500 gross tons. Smaller SOLAS
classified vessels are required to carry at least one search and rescue locating
device. An AIS-SART is a portable device and should be stowed on board in a
location where it can be easily and rapidly taken on board a survival craft or
life raft.
An AIS SART is an emergency radio beacon that is intended for use in
maritime emergencies and is approved for these contingencies. It is not
designed or recommended for use on land or in the air.
The intended usage of the AIS SART is to mark the location of maritime
survivors in need of imminent recovery by rescuers. False alerts endanger
lives and cause disruption to Search and Rescue services, deliberate misuse
of the AIS SART could result in penalty.
Read the complete manual before installing, testing or using the AIS SART.
1.2 Testing, maintenance and disposal
Self-test the AIS SART every 6 months, more frequent self-testing is not
recommended as it can cause unnecessary draining of the battery.
The AIS SART contains no user serviceable parts but a physical check should
be performed regularly. The battery pack is a Primary lithium battery. Do not
incinerate, puncture, deform or short-circuit. If you need to dispose of battery
or the complete AIS SART – see Section 7.
1.3 Hazards and Warnings
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
Do not dismantle the AIS SART, it contains no user-serviceable
parts.
The AIS SART contains lithium metal batteries. Do not incinerate, puncture,
deform, short circuit or recharge.
Avoid using chemical solvents to clean the AIS SART as some solvents can
damage the case material.
The AIR SART is compliant with SOLAS regulations when the anti-tamper cap
is intact. After the anti-tamper cap has been broken for any reason, it must be
assumed that the SART has been used and the AIS SART the subject of a
battery replacement service before being returned to use.

As the AIS SART contains a radio transmitter, some administrations may
require that the user holds a maritime radio license authorizing ownership and
use.
When activated, the AIS SART emits low levels of radio frequency radiation. It
is advisable not to handle the upper section antenna zone.
When the AIS SART has reached its end of it useful in-service life it must be
disposed of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations. Refer to End
of Life Statement.
1.4 EC Declaration of Conformity
The AIS SART is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED. A copy of the

2 OVERVIEW
Only remove the RED anti-tamper Cap if you intend to operate the AIS SART
in a real emergency. An AIS SART is a single use device, once activated and
before returning it to storage a maintenance service battery replacement will
be required.
Figure 1: AIS SART key features description

2.1 AIS SART Handing
The AIS SART is packed inside a buoyant carry bag with carry strap. The
carry bag contains the AIS SART main unit, a 1-meter telescopic extension
pole and 10 meters buoyant lanyard. The carry bag may be wall mounted
using the wall-mount bracket provided.
Figure 2 Carry bag overview
2.2 Environmental
The carry bag offers additional protection to the AIS SART both for storage
and when carrying on to a survival craft. Once assembled and ready for
deployment the main unit remains buoyant, waterproof and is tested to survive
a 20m drop in to water without damage.
2.3 Controls and indicators
The control panel has florescent backlighting that increases its visibility in
reduced lighting conditions. The ON button is protected from accidental
activation under a single use anti-tamper cap. Once activated a dual color
Red/Orange LED indicator provides real-time status induction and will flash
the Morse Code “SOS” sequence.
