The Search and Rescue Transponder "Musson - 502":

  • Provides continuous work during four days (96 hours) in waiting mode and 8 hours in active .
  • Has a light indication of the operation modes

     

  • Provides the operation at  the temperature range –20 …+50°C (the storage temperature –30 …+65°C)
  • Has a storage container
  • Has a good floatation
    •         The SART operates in the band of 9-Ghz and begins to transmit emergency signal when interrogated by a 9-GHz radar from an approaching vessel or aircraft . It is intended for use in lifecrafts, lifeboats, on vessel bulkheads etc.

           The SART has a visual indication of the radar signals reception . It operates for a minimum period of 96 hours in the stand-by mode plus 8 hours of continuous operation when interrogated by a radar.

           Many commercial ships are required by IMO regulations to carry at least 2 SARTs, which must be carried to the lifecrafts when ship abandoning . When any rescue vessel with a marine X-band radar (9.2 to 9.5GHz) comes within 7 miles of the lifecraft, the SART generates a line of 12 radial dots on its radar display, clearly indicating a distress situation and the position of the lifecraft.
