INSTALLATION
Mounting Bracket
Fix the mounting bracket to a
secure section of wall or bulk-
head, away from any direct
source of heat, oil, water, fuel,
etc.
Check that all straps are
clear of sharp edges or contami-
nation. Two SARTs can often be
mounted one on either side of
the bridge wing on commercial
vessels.
Install the SART into the
bracket, ensuring the
black
hanging strap is located into its
recess
behind
the SART (main
label facing you). Secure the
SART with the
red
Velcro fas-
tening strap.
Permanent installation on
Survival Craft (option)
The S.701 SART from SevenStar
Electronics has been specifically
designed for easy installation
into liferafts, and can be ar-
ranged for manual or automatic
activation. Automatic activation
can be achieved by securing the
hanging strap and the activation
clip to the appropriate parts of
the liferaft.
Leisure Craft Stowage (option)
Store in a safe location where
you can reach it easily if needed.
USE
Release the
red
Velcro strap,
then pull the
SART from the
mounting
bracket. Make
your way to the
liferaft.
Pull down firmly on the red
activation clip
to turn the
SART ‘ON’. The LED will
flash slowly. When in range of
a radar signal, the LED will
flash rapidly.
Pass one end of the black
hanging strap over the top of
the support tube, and tie the
strap to allow the SART to
hang in the centre of the craft.
Alternatively, you can mount
the SART on the telescopic
pole if provided (option).
MAINTENENCE
Regular Maintenance
The SevenStar S.701 SART has
been designed for minimal main-
tenance. Simply check it is cor-
rectly fitted into its bracket and
that the red activating clip re-
mains in the OFF (closed) posi-
tion. If necessary, wipe the unit
and its bracket with a plain cloth
and a little soapy water. SOL-
VENTS MUST
NOT
BE USED to
clean the unit, as damage may
result. A SART should be tested
annually by removing the SART
from its bracket, pulling the red
clip downwards, and holding the
SART so an X-band radar set
triggers it. The SART LED should
flash rapidly, and the radar dis-
play should show a pattern of
concentric rings. There are also
specific SART testers available
which give a more thorough test
and printed results.

ies in a sealed pack, part number
