How Smartfind S10 AIS Beacon works

*For use with AIS enabled chart plotters, contact your chart plotter manufacturer forfurther info.

As AIS SARTs are still very new, not all small-craft chart plotters with AIS show thecorrect SART icon as recommended by the IMO. At the very least, they will showthe same icon as used for other craft normally an arrow. In addition, user settingsgenerally allow you to configure the display to show the MMSI number, which in the S10always begins with 972. This way you can differentiate the S10 from other vessels. If indoubt, check with your plotter manufacturer how they display SARTs on screen.All new ECDIS plotters (on ships over 300 tonnes) will display the SART icon correctly.
