Built on the proven design of the S100, the S200 SART offers enhanced distress alerting through Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology, moving beyond traditional radar-based systems. This cutting-edge device sends precise GNSS/GPS satellite location coordinates to all AIS-equipped vessels within VHF range, ensuring that emergency assistance is rapidly deployed when needed.

With an average detection range of 5 nautical miles, the S200 integrates Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for easy product registration and test data access. Its high-performance lithium battery delivers up to 96 hours of operating life, ensuring extended reliability in the toughest conditions. The AIS-based system also provides superior performance in adverse weather, with reduced susceptibility to interference from heavy rain or fog.

Designed with convenience in mind, the S200 includes a sleek wall mount for easy access in emergencies. An optional telescopic pole, extending 3.3 feet (1 metre), can be attached for maximum height and visibility when deployed from a life craft, and the SART can be suspended inside the craft for hands-free use.

Built to endure the harshest marine environments, the S200 is a dependable partner in any emergency, ensuring your distress signal reaches any AIS-equipped vessel within range. Its rugged construction guarantees it will be operational when you need it most, providing peace of mind on the water.
