9GHz SART Tester STU-1

Description

The SART Tester is designed to provide accurate, independent validation of the operation of any Radar-SART in accordance with the requirements of IMO Resolution A.802(19), SOLAS - 74/88 and local classification authorities.

The SART Tester allows ensuring the SART meets the appropriate performance requirements. The SART Tester is portable and easy in use. It is far more effective and reliable than the primitive self-test function offered by any SART.

It allows to measure signal level and duration, count the number of sweeps and calculate the distance from SART across radial line on the radar screen and verifies the signal is in frequency range of 9140…9560 MHz.

Measurements of SART parameters are made through the broadcast.

Connection to PC

The newest software is designed to make survey work easier.

The device can be connected by means of standard USB A - USB B cable. Special software is available for download. 

The software is compatible with Windows, MAC OS X and Linux. It provides possibility of automatic generation of IMO-like reports for all types of tested equipment. Even more, now a surveyor can generate one combined report of all the safety equipment tested on a vessel.

A surveyor’s paper work can be now reduced to minimum: just generate a report, print it and sign! Or save it and send by e-mail. As the reports are saved in doc/pdf  format, you can put your logo, contacts, etc.

Linux, OS X and Windows 10 doesn’t require any drivers installation. For Windows 7 and earlier versions STM driver should be installed for proper connection on first run.
