10.2 AIS SART Operations
You can be alerted to active and test AIS SARTs in your area when the system re-
ceives the respective AIS SART sentence.
When an active or test AIS SART sentence is received, a warning message box
shows the type of AIS SART and the MMSI of the ship that launched the AIS SART.
The system recognizes the AIS SART sentence with MMSI number from 970XXXXXX
to 979XXXXXX. The example box below shows the information displayed for an active
AIS SART.
If you have setup to show AIS objects, a dialog window appears with two buttons, [LO-
CATE] and [CLOSE]. The [LOCATE] button, when operated, displays and centers the
AIS SART on the chart and displays the applicable AIS SART icon at the SART’s lo-
cation. The [CLOSE] button closes the dialog window and stays in the current view. If
the system is set to not show AIS objects, the [LOCATE] and [CLOSE] buttons do not
appear.
Note: Test AIS SARTs are not shown by default. To show them, ESC/MENU key →
[SYSTEM] → [AIS SETUP] → [AIS SART TEST] → [On].
To find information about an AIS SART, put the cursor on the AIS SART icon.
When an AIS SART becomes lost, its icon changes as shown below.
