AIS-SART KHX
Kelvin Hughes AIS-SART KHX is a search-and-rescue locating transponder. It is normally installed on or near the bridge and in survival-craft emergency equipment where it can be rapidly carried during abandonment. Its primary purpose is to help rescuers locate survival craft or persons after a distress event. Unlike routine navigation or communications equipment, the unit is reserved for emergency locating and must remain portable, correctly mounted and ready for immediate deployment. The supplied record already contains the available concise model or rating information, so those existing figures are not duplicated here and no additional meaning is inferred from the model code. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
