ACR Pathfinder Pro START

ACR Pathfinder Pro START

ACR Pathfinder Pro START is a fully approved Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) that complies with IMO SOLAS regulations. When interrogated by radar, the Pathfinder Pro returns 12 intense blips back to the vessels radar screen, greatly enhancing search and rescue efforts. The superior lithium battery provides over 96 hours of operating life in standby mode (waiting to be interrogated by radar) and 12 hours of active operating life (while interrogated by radar).

The Pathfinder Pro comes with a sleek wall mount to keep this compact SART out of the way, yet readily accessible in an emergency.  The optional telescopic pole conveniently connects to the bottom of the SART and provides for maximum height and visibility out of a life craft.  The SART can also be suspended inside the craft for hands free usage.

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