SART (search and rescue transponder) test

The X100 can connect to your on board SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) via NMEA. When a test is performed, a SART test message is broadcast to all nearby vessels and AIS-equipped Coast Relay Stations, including your own.

The test runs for 15 minutes, and while it is running you should follow the manufacturer’s instructions that may include checking all visual and audio indicators.

The step by step instructions below show you how to perform your own.
