The primary system is the indicator lights and the secondary system is the buzzer. When the switch
is set to ON, the SART immediately enters the Test Mode. Here both red lights and the buzzer are
tested. Note that in noisy environments it may be difficult to hear the buzzer. After about one
second the SART goes to Receive Mode.
The SART remains in the Receive Mode until it detects a radar pulse. It then switches to the Reply
Mode and transmits a series of pulses. These pulses will appear on the interrogating radar display
as a series of arcs leading away from the SART‘s position. Both SART lights flash rapidly and the
buzzer emitting a pulsed sound at about one second interval indicate the Reply Mode. This
sequence is repeated each time a radar signal interrogates or transmits a valid radar signal to the
SART. When the radar signal interrogation stops the SART automatically returns to the Receive
Mode.
With a fully charged battery pack the SART will operate in Receive Mode for a minimum of 96
hours. After this time period it will still respond to normal interrogation radar signals for an
additional eight hours.
