SIMRAD SA50
Search and Rescue Transponder (SART)
The SIMRAD SA50 Search & Rescue
Transponder (SART) is a slim and lightweight emergency transponder, which can
be deployed within minutes. The SA50 can
be both manually or automatically activated.
Mounting bracket
1. Installation
Using the supplied bulkhead bracket,
mount the SART in a suitable and
protected location, where it can be easily
reached in the event of an emergency. The
SART will simply clip onto the bracket
provided.
Use back clip
to attach to
mounting
bracket
The SART may also be pre-packed in the
life raft, in which case the manufacturer will
provide mounting instructions for use when
the life raft is inflated.
IMPORTANT!
The SA50 must not be installed within
the main beam of the ship’s radar. A
compass-safe distance of at least 1m
(3 ft) must be observed.

Take the SART and the mounting pole (if
available) to the life raft. When the life raft is
inflated, EITHER
(1) unwind the lanyard (which is attached to
the pin) and attach the SART to the life raft,
OR
(2) open out the mounting pole (which will
twist-lock into position) and mount the SART
on the thinner end of the pole. Pass it
through the aperture in the canopy and
locate the bottom of the pole in the pocket
provided. Secure the SART with the tapes
provided on the life raft.

3. Care and Maintenance
The SART will need very little maintenance between battery replacements. The batteries
require replacement after five years (always check the label on the battery pack), or after use.
The replacement date is shown on a label on the outside of the unit.
If the SART is stored in an exposed position,
then regular cleaning is recommended. DO
NOT use solvents on this product as this may
damage the plastic components.
To test flip tab to
UNLOCK position,
then press button
down and hold
until test is completed
4. Testing the SART
As a minimum the SART should be tested
annually to ensure correct performance.
• Remove the SART from its mounting and
rotate the security tab to the UNLOCK
position.
• Push the gray button down to the TEST
position and hold it down until the test is
completed.
Fig. 3.1 - Testing the SART
• Check that the indicator on the SART is flashing. On the ship’s X-band radar observe that
the SART is displayed as blips, adjusting the radar’s gain if necessary.
When testing is completed, return the gray button to the SAFE position and rotate the priming
tab back to the LOCK position to secure the transponder. When testing DO NOT remove the
pin.
NOTE —If the SART is inadvertendly activated, it can be locked again by pressing down the
activation button (to the SAFE position) and reinserting the pin.
