Testing
Periodic testing of the S100 SART is recommended. A full test
should be carried out in conjunction with an X-band radar on a
nearby ship if at all possible. A full test should always be carried out
at the annual service, with short inspections every two months.
Activate the test mode by rotating the grey test switch clockwise
and holding.
If there is radar activity in the area then the Red LED will start to
flash intermittently, indicating that the radars are being received.
If you are able to contact another vessel with radar, then the radar
will now be showing the return from the SART.
Depending on the distance of the
vessel to the SART and the tuning of
the radar, the display will vary
between a set of concentric rings to
a line of twelve blips in a straight
line on a bearing between the vessel
and the SART.
The SART test mode is the same as
the operational mode, so keep the
time of the test to a minimum to
avoid falsely indicating to other
ships that you may be in distress
and to minimise the battery drain.
