ACR PATHFINDER PRO SART radar transponder

The Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) ACR PATHFINDER PRO ensures that lifeboats or yachts can be found more quickly in the event of an emergency at sea. It is switched on manually, which is completely uncomplicated.When switched on, the SART is in standby mode. The X-band radar of a nearby ship activates the transponder automatically. The PATHFINDER PRO transmits a series of pulses which are displayed on the ship's radar as a line of dots showing the course to the lifeboat or the damaged yacht.Technical features:Yellow polycarbonate housingWaterproof to 10 m, floatableExcellent battery life at temperatures from -20° C to 55° C. At least 96 hours standby time plus at least 12 hours operating timeThe battery is not classified as dangerous goods and can be transported safelyBattery replacement interval: 5 years. The battery can be replaced by the userThanks to its compact size, the SART is easy to store, e.g. in the container of the life raft or in the grab bag for emergenciesLength 227 mm, diameter (max.) 65 mm (82 mm), weight 440 gA wall bracket is included in the scope of deliverySearch and Rescue Transponders (SART) are mandatory in international shipping:One on a vessel between 300 and 500 GRTTwo on a vessel > 500 GRTAt least one for every four lifeboats on RoRo passenger shipsOne on a vessel in national navigation requiring equipment, including fishing vessels, passenger vessels, merchant vessels, etc.Commercially operated yachts and most super and mega yachts are also required to carry a SART.The crews of privately operated yachts or traditional vessels also benefit from the added safety of voluntarily carrying a SART.MED/SOLAS approval (certificate under "Downloads").

Accessories for the TRON SART20 or TRON AIS-SART from JOTRON.The battery maintenance kit ensures that the TRON SART20 / AIS-SART remains ready for use for a further five years.The telescopic mast is recommended for use in a life raft. The telescopic plastic tube, which can be extended to a length of 120 cm, raises the TRON SART20 / AIS-SART to a higher position, significantly increasing the range of the transmitter.The lifeboat bracket allows the TRON SART20 / AIS-SART to be attached to a tube in the lifeboat. A dimensional drawing can be found further down on this page under "Downloads & Information".

MED / SOLAS approval.Tron AIS-SART and Tron SART20 can both be used as "search and rescue locator beacons" in accordance with the IMO SOLAS amendment in resolution MSC.256(84), giving the shipowner the freedom to choose either product as required by SOLAS chapter III, regulation 2.2.JOTRON TRON AIS-SART: This SART (Search And Rescue Transmitter) , once activated in case of distress, continuously transmits two messages over the international AIS channels (AIS A and AIS B) in the maritime VHF band containing the distress situation and the position determined by the integrated GPS. The unit is programmed by the manufacturer with a unique ID code and is thus immediately ready for operation.These messages are received by AIS-equipped ships, aircraft and shore stations in the vicinity (up to 10 nm away) and clearly marked on their plotters as the accident position. This makes it much easier to find the victim.Glass-fibre reinforced polycarbonate housingFloatable, waterproof up to 1.0 mIntegrated safety lineComprehensive self-test functionsEasy activation by pull switchStandby 96 hours, transmission time approx. 8 hoursLithium battery (hazardous material) with five-year replacement cycle (shelf life from production: 6.5 years)Five-year warrantyDimensions:H x D: 250 x 90 mm, weight 480 g.With simple wall bracket.Under "Accessories" further down on this page you will find:Battery maintenance kit (Article-No. 3950-100)Telescopic mast for use in the life raft (Article-No. 3950-120)Bracket for use in the lifeboat (Article-No. 3950-121)

Accessories for WEATHERDOCK easyRESCUE AIS-SART / MOB distress beacon.The neoprene pocket (B066) holds an easyRescue AIS-SART / MOB. It can be fastened around the arm with a Velcro fastener, for example, to keep the emergency transmitter within easy reach.The stick-on pocket (B114) is required to add an easyRescue AIS-SART / MOB to an automatic lifejacket (which is not prepared for this). The pocket ensures that the AIS-SART is optimally aligned to transmit properly after the lifejacket has been inflated.

MED / SOLAS approval.The easyRESCUE family from the German manufacturer WEATHERDOCK may bear the designation AIS-SART (Search and Rescue Transmitter). The world's only AIS distress transmitters with MED / SOLAS approval have a higher transmission power than a MOB (man overboard beacon), namely >2 W for AIS, >0.5 W for DSC distress calls and 50 mW for the 121.5 MHz direction finding signal. This means that their signals can be received up to ten nautical miles away.The housing of the devices is extremely robust and reliable. They can withstand multiple impacts on the water surface from a height of 20 meters, can cope with enormous temperature fluctuations and still function at temperatures below -20 °C.The small AIS-SART updates the position of the person in distress every 60 seconds and sends the AIS messages 1 (position report - dynamic data) and 14 (safety-related message). The activated AIS-SART is displayed with a red cross in a circle (the symbol according to IEC62288) on the chart plotters of vessels within a radius of up to ten nautical miles (over 20 nm with a high AIS receiving antenna).On the PRO models, the DSC distress call is initially sent in a "closed loop" to up to 8 vessels whose MMSI numbers have been programmed in advance using the free Weatherdock app via Bluetooth. If there is no confirmation within ten minutes, the system automatically switches to the "open loop" and an "all ships call" is sent to the GMDSS rescue chain as an official distress call.There are five different easyRESCUE AIS-SART models, which differ in how they are triggered (manually, by water contact, by ripcord and magnetic switch) and which frequencies (AIS, DSC, 121.5 MHz homing) they use for alerting (see table). The easyRESCUE A040-BW-COM is used by the German, Dutch and other navies as well as by the Special Forces Command (KSK) of the German Armed Forces.The easyRESCUE A040-PRO (BT) model is used by German and Dutch rescue organizations as well as by offshore wind farm personnel.The easyRESCUE PRO3 was developed for demanding sailors as an alternative to the PLB (Personal Locator Beacon, Cospas/Sarsat). In addition to alerting via AIS and DSC, a 121.5 MHz signal is transmitted. Older SAR helicopters are still in use over the North Sea and Baltic Sea, which do not have an on-board AIS and therefore prefer this "homing" frequency for locating a person in the water. The easyRESCUE PRO3 is the first choice, especially for sailors who are on the move on different yachts , because the problem of a vessel's MMSI being stored in the PLB is eliminated.Explosion-proof "ATEX" versions of the easyRESCUE AIS-SARTs are available especially for use on oil platforms, jetties and LNG ships. A version especially for divers is also available. Please ask us about this if required.Technical featuresAIS Seach-and-Rescue Transmitter (more powerful MOB with MED / SOLAS approval)96 h transmission time after activation at -20°C (longer at higher temperatures)Triggering function (depending on model): manual, by water contact, by ripcord and magnetic contactIndividual identification number of the deviceTransmission range up to 10 nm (depending on wave height and receiving antenna height)Transmission power >2 W for AIS, >0.5 W for DSC distress call and 50 mW for the 121.5 MHz direction finding signalIntegrated, fast GPS receiverBattery life >10 years (without commissioning, only self-tests).

This ensures that the device's antenna is in an upright position when the person who has fallen overboard is floating in the water with the lifejacket. The lifejacket manufacturers Secumar (models Scout, Survival, Alpha), Mullion, Besto and Viking have automatic lifejackets that are prepared to accommodate an easyRESCUE AIS-SART.For use in automatic vests from other manufacturers such as Kadematic, Lade, ISP, etc., the stick-on pocket (item no. 3921-114) isrequired as an accessory. Only in this pocket is the antenna of the easyRESCUE optimally aligned for transmitting the emergency signal. You can find the bag under "Accessories & spare parts".For use as an AIS-SART in the life raft , we recommend attaching the neoprene bag (item no. 3921-066) to a telescopic pole to increase the antenna height. An inexpensive telescopic boat hook (item no. 3221-161) is suitable for this purpose, see "Accessories & spare parts".
