Difference between SART and EPIRB

SART 

SEARCH AND RESCUE TRANSPONDER

It is a vital machine during distress for it helps in locating the position of the vessel in case it goes off-track.

They are the most supportive machines in case of an unprecedented emergency.

It operates on the 9GHz frequency band (9.2 to 9.5 GHz) and generates a series of blips on the radar it is interrogated by (3 cm/X Band radar)

Battery Requirements

In standby condition, operational for 96 hours

In working condition, operational for 08 hours

Battery should be replaced every 2 to 5 years

Operable in temperature between -20 deg to 55 degrees.

The AIS-SART is a self-contained radio device used to locate a survival craft or distressed vessel by sending updated position reports using a standard Automatic Identification System class-A position report.

  EPIRB

EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATING RADIO BEACON

  A device to alert search and rescue services (sar) in case of an emergency out at sea. It is tracking equipment that transmits a signal on a specified band to locate a lifeboat, life raft, ship or people in distress.

It is mandatory to carry one EPIRB on every ship and two EPIRBS for all Registered ships (and other types of vessels.)

The device contains two radio transmitters, a 5-watt one and a 0.25-watt one, each operating at 406 MHz, the standard international frequency typically signalling distress, 406MHz.

Battery

12 Volt battery

48 hours of transmitting capacity

Normally replaced every 2 to 5 years

Use proper replacement battery

Different vessels have different SART and EPIRB type, make sure to read your manuals onboard before you will use and test it.
