1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Tron AIS-SART is a battery powered AIS emergency transmitter in a sealed
waterproof enclosure consisting of:
1. Tron AIS-SART unit
2. Mounting rope for life rafts / life boats.
The Tron AIS-SART is developed by Jotron AS to meet the rules and regulations
for use on vessels and life rafts in the maritime service.
Tron AIS-SART meets the specifications for use in search and rescue operations at sea.
The operating range of the Tron AIS-SART is 7 -10 nautical miles from vessel
AIS Class-A, and more than 40 nautical miles from an airborne AIS receiver.
Tron AIS-SART is buoyant, however to obtain maximum performance, the unit
should be placed in a vertical position and as high up as possible in order to
achieve maximum coverage.
Several mounting brackets and mounting aids are available to ensure correct
mounting and use of the radar unit.
The purpose of the Tron AIS-SART is to perform a secondary alarm when
search and rescue units are searching for a life raft / lifeboat in distress. The
Tron AIS-SART includes a built-in GPS, which will help the units to pinpoint
exactly where the distressed boat is located in a larger area. This is done with
the help of the AIS on the searching ship or helicopter. When started, the Tron
AIS-SART sends its position data in an ordinary AIS message.
In addition the Tron AIS-SART sends a safety text message every forth minute,
containing text: “AIS SART”. This will be received by other AIS systems within
the range.
The batteries of the Tron AIS-SART will last at least 96 hours when activated.

To save battery capacity in case of a situation where the unit is needed, the use
should be limited to tests and emergency situations.
1.1 TRON AIS-SART FEATURES
Watertight:
Tron AIS-SART is watertight to a depth of minimum 1 meter.
Buoyant:
Tron AIS-SART is buoyant in case the unit is accidentally dropped into the
water. To increase coverage the AIS-SART should always be held or mounted
as high as possible.
Rugged design:
The Tron AIS-SART will withstand a drop from 20 meters into the water. It is
resistant to seawater, oil and sunlight.
Handling:
Tron AIS-SART is designed for easy operation, with a brief operating instruction
printed on the unit. It comes standard with a 10 meter rope and a shackle hook
to be used for hanging the AIS-SART on the inside of a life raft.

5.4 RECEPTION ON NEARBY VESSELS AIS TRANSPONDERS AND
ECS/ECDIS OR CHART PLOTTERS
To conduct a complete test of a Tron AIS-SART, reception on the ships AIS
transponder should also be checked. Today, most AIS transponders installed
are not compliant with AIS-SART, but will still receive them as another ship,
both with ID code, Position, Range, Bearing, and Text message
5.4.1 RECEPTION AN A NON AIS-SART COMPLIANT AIS
TRANSPONDER:

there are drafts of new AIS specification, IEC 61993-2 (Ed.2) which states:
By default the target list is auto-sorted in ascending range except the nearest
active AIS SART or, if supported, other target of interest shall be displayed at
the top of the list.
In addition, there will be possibly automatic filtering of AIS SART’s in TEST since
the test will send text messages to all nearby ships (within VHF range). There
are today two suggestions on how to implement the filtering:
1. Prior to test the AIS-SART on your own ship, you must enter “Configuration
menu” of your own AIS transponder, and turn on “Show AIS-SART Test”
2. Only receive AIS-SART in “Test” within a very limited range
