ACR 2914 Pathfinder Pro SART Non-Hazmat Search & Rescue Transponder

The ACR 2914 Pathfinder Pro SART Non-Hazmat Search & Rescue Transponder complies with IMO SOLAS regulations. When interrogated by radar, the ACR Pathfinder Pro returns 12 intense blips back to the vessel’s radar screen, which significantly enhances search and rescue efforts. The superior lithium battery provides over 96 hours of standby operating life (waiting to be interrogated by radar) and 12 hours of active operating life (while interrogated by radar).

The compact Pathfinder Pro SART includes a sleek wall mount to keep it readily accessible in an emergency, yet out of the way when not needed. An attached telescopic pole conveniently connects to the bottom of the SART, providing maximum height and visibility out of a life craft. The SART can also be suspended inside the craft for hands free usage.

A SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) is mandatory for all commercial vessels that must conform to GMDSS, and any vessel carrying more than one life raft.
