SART20

Jotron SART20 is a emergency position-indicating radio beacon listed in the supplied equipment record. It is normally installed in an approved accessible position, commonly near the bridge or externally in a float-free arrangement depending on the installation. Its primary purpose is to transmit a distress alert and identification information for search-and-rescue response when activated. Unlike a handheld VHF or routine communications terminal, an EPIRB is a dedicated emergency beacon intended for distress alerting rather than normal ship-to-ship traffic. The model designation identifies a particular manufacturer configuration, but the supplied record does not define every hardware, material, control, or certification difference to adjacent models. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, materials, connection details, and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Expired or deteriorated battery condition prevents full-duration operation and is identified during inspection or self-test
Antenna damage or corrosion reduces transmission reliability and may produce failed self-test indications
Water ingress or damaged seals causes corrosion, intermittent operation or self-test failure
Hydrostatic-release or mounting defects prevent correct float-free deployment or make the beacon difficult to release manually
Programming or registration mismatch causes incorrect identification data and is detected during documentation or service checks

Service & Maintenance

Check mounting, accessibility, release arrangement, casing, antenna, labels and self-test indication. Confirm battery and release-device validity dates against the approved equipment records without inventing replacement intervals. Verify beacon identity and registration data. Functional testing beyond the permitted self-test must follow manufacturer and regulatory procedures.

Replacement Parts

Normally keep the approved mounting and release hardware in serviceable condition and arrange certified replacement batteries or hydrostatic-release units as required; minor spares may include seals, lanyards and mounting fasteners where manufacturer-approved.
