4.4 Display of Radar Transponder
SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponder) is life preserving device approved by GMDSS
which is used for locating survivors in the event of a disaster or distress. SART operates in the
9GHz frequency band. When it receives a radar signal (interrogating radio wave) of 9GHz
transmitted by a rescue ship or aircraft radar, SART transmits a series of respouse signals to the
searchers to indicate the distress position.
In order to see the SART or radar beacon mark on the radar screen.

① to ⑥

⑥ are made to display SART signals, objects
around the own ship will not appear on the radar screen, so perform thorough
visual monitoring of the sea area around the own ship to avoid any collision or
stranding.
Further, when more than one radar systems are mounted, while using a 9GHz
band radar for searching SART signals, be sure to use another radar as an
ordinary radar to perform monitoring of objects around the own ship to avoid
any collision, check of the position of the own ship to avoid any stranding, and
so on.
Need to return the set for normal operation on completion.
