HOW TO ACTIVATE NAS-1000
1. Take off AIS-SART from the installation bracket.
2. Pull off the red pin and move the operation handle to ON.
3. Check the LED indicator. While LED flashing, AIS-SART is being activated but GPS
position is not available. While LED steadily on, GPS position is available.
4. Check the sound of the internal buzzer. Each audible beep suggests one message is
being transmitted. Usually a burst of eight short beeps can be heard per minute, which
suggests eight messages are transmitted every minute.
5. Hold AIS-SART upright to maximize the transmitting efficiency.
6. Keep AIS-SART as high as possible by using the telescopic pole supplied or hanging
AIS-SART in the life raft by using the rope supplied.
WARNING ：
Do not activate the AIS-SART unless in case of emergency. If the AIS-SART is activated
for any reasons, except for short tests, the battery pack in AIS-SART should be replaced to
maintain enough life of batteries. The red pin should also be replaced because it cannot
restore to its right state after being pulled off.

1. PRODUCT OUTLINE
AIS-SART is an emergency device used for life raft. When activated, AIS-SART will
transmit messages to indicate the position of AIS-SART. The vessels and rescue planes
nearby can receive the position reports sent by AIS-SART to easily locate the life raft in
distress.
NAS-1000 AIS-SART conforms to the requirements set in IMO IMSC 246 (83). As a
part of GMDSS, AIS-SART shares the same role as RADAR-SART (search and rescue
transponder).
RADAR-SART is used to locate a target by signal reflected to a radar. In this case, only
rough position is read on radar screen with bearing.
However,AIS-SART could provide accurate position with built-in GPS receiver, which
can facilitate the rescue work greatly.
AIS-SART transmits on dual AIS channels, CH2087 and CH2088.
The maximum communication range depends on both heights of transmitting antenna
and receiving antenna.
A=2.5(√H+√h) （nm）
Hand hrefer to the heights in meter of antennas above sea.
As required, AIS-SART should cover at least 5nm on the condition that transmitting
antenna at lift raft is 1m high and the receiving antenna 16m high, both above sea level.
Unique identifier (User ID) is used in AIS-SART to ensure the integrity of the VHF data
link. The ID is programmed during production and marked on the case. The ID can not
be changed after programmed unless done by manufacturer.
The ID for an AIS-SART is 970xxyyyy, where xx=manufacturer ID, as 26/28 for NSR;
yyyy =s/n set by manufacturer. For example, 970280008, which is produced by NSR.
When a position report is received with such a MMSI, together with safety message
“SARTACTIVE”, it should be transmitted from anAIS-SART.

⚫Take off AIS-SART from the installation bracket.
⚫Remove the black protector.
⚫Pull off the red pin and rotate the operation handle to ON.
⚫Check the LED indicator. While LED flashing, AIS-SART is being
activated but GPS position is not available. While LED steadily on, GPS
position is available.
⚫Check the sound of the internal buzzer. Each audible beep suggests one
message is being transmitted. Usually a burst of eight short beeps can be
heard per minute, which suggests eight messages are transmitted every
minute.

3. HOW TO TEST
⚫Take off AIS-SART from the
bracket.
⚫Hold AIS-SART in open space
outdoor.
⚫Remove the black protector.
⚫Rotate the operation handle to
TSET.
⚫Check LED status. If LED flashes,
GPS position is not available. If
LED steadily on, GPS position is
available. Usually GPS position can be available in one minute in open space.
If GPS can not be available (LED flashes) after long time, AIS-SART may be
faulty. In such a case, please contact manufacturer or your local supplier for
service.
⚫When AIS-SART is transmitting, one burst of 8 short beeps can be heard,
which suggests 8 messages be sent. Afterwards, one dash can be heard, which
indicates that transmission is completed.
⚫AIS-SART will be powered off automatically after 8 short beeps when
GPS position is available. Also, AIS-SART will be powered off
automatically if GPS not available for 15 minutes.
⚫Rotate the operation handle back to OFF. Insert the black protector.
⚫Check whether the shipborne AIS MKD has received and displayed the
message transmitted fromAIS-SART.
-Check the target list on MKD. There should be a target with the same
MMSI as the USER ID of the AIS SART.
-A safety-related message “SART TEST”should be received from the
same MMSI as the USER ID of the AIS SART.
⚫Place AIS-SART back to the bracket.

CAUTION：
Even in low output power, NAS-1000’s transmission can be well received by vessels
nearby. Frequent tests should be avoided not only for interference but also for
battery-saving.
Don’t pull off the red pin when test. The red pin can not be restored to its original
status after pulled off. Pull the pin only when activateAIS-SART in emergency.

4. HOW TO MOUNT
AIS-SART is mounted with the wall bracket in the bridge. The bracket should be
mounted upright and in a place where AIS-SART is of easy access in case of an
emergency. AIS-SART is mounted in such a position to avoid direct sunshine and heating
source.
Fit the black bracket on the wall by using four screws supplied, and then insert the
AIS-SART into the bracket.
Before inserting AIS-SART, OPEN the cap of the pole, put the pole into the hole on
AIS-SART from upside and then cover the cap on the pole.

5. PERIODIC INSPECTION
Periodic inspection is very important to ensure AIS-SART in a good condition. Each test
should be executed in short time because any test could reduce the life of the batteries.
5.1 Every Six Months
The inspection every six months should be carried out by operators on board. The
inspection should cover the following items:
-Carry out test procedure by following HOW TO TEST.
-Check whether any damage is viewed.
-Check the expiry date of the batteries.
-Record the inspection result.
5.2 Every Five Years
The inspection every five years should be carried out by manufacturer or authorized
dealers. The inspection should cover the following items:
-Replace the battery pack together with the case and gasket.
-Check the watertightness of the case.
-Carry out complete performance test.
-Record the inspection result.
