S4 SART Plan For Installation

This document provides specifications and installation instructions for the McMurdo S4 Search and Rescue Radar Transponder (SART) made by Haidang Co., Ltd. The SART is designed to aid in search and rescue operations by transmitting a response signal when interrogated by radar. Key specifications include an operating frequency range of 9.2-9.5GHz, a sweep rate of 5μs per 200MHz, and a transmission duration of at least 96 hours when continuously interrogated. The SART is buoyant, weighs 360g without a pole or 530g complete, and has dimensions of 283 x 101 x 90mm. It should be installed inside the vessel on the bridge wing or other protected location within radar

Installation
The preferred mounting location is inside the vessel, and protected from the
elements, usually on the ship’s bridge wing. The SART should be mounted where it
will not get in the way of day-to-day operations, but where it can readily be
accessed near an emergency exit in the event it is needed.

Do not install the SART within the ship's radar beam.

Fix the mounting bracket to a bulkhead in a convenient location. The recommended


fixing is by M5 marine grade stainless steel (eg A4/316) bolts; length is dependent
upon application. The bolts should be secured with either stainless steel locking
nuts or stainless steel nuts with stainless steel shakeproof washers.

Mount the SART, dome uppermost, onto the bracket by locating the lugs on the
SART pole mount into the slots in the bracket. Push down the SART into place.
