If an ELT is to be programmed on a temporary basis for later update by the Artex ELT/NAV
Interface auto-reprogramming feature, refer to the
Standard Location - ELT 24-Bit
Address (Long)
section for temporary programming instructions.
If an ELT is to be programmed on a temporary basis for later update by a C406-N series
Programming Adapter auto-reprogramming feature, refer to the

If
Aviation User – Tail Number (Short)
is selected (User protocol):
ELT's programmed with the short message protocol are not compatible with the
ELT/NAV Interface.
In the “COUNTRY CODE” dialogue box, select a country or type in the country code
number in the small box to the right. Only the proper country code number will be
shown and accepted if multiple numbers are assigned to a single country. Artex
document 6178 also lists valid country codes. When the code is correct, simply hit
“ENTER” on the keyboard or click in the “TAIL NUMBER” dialogue box.
Enter the tail number of the aircraft, which is up to seven alphanumeric characters.
Acceptable characters are letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), a hyphen (-), a space ( ), and a
slash (/). If fewer than seven characters are entered, the software follows convention by
filling the remaining characters with spaces at the beginning. That will be reflected in
the final hex code. When finished, hit “ENTER” (screen or keyboard).
The 32 digit hex code is shown in the box at the top of the screen (24 active digits and 8
zeros filled in at the end for this short message), and the abbreviated 15 digit hex code is
shown in box beneath.
Click on the “WRITE ELT” button (or hit “ENTER” on the keyboard if the “WRITE
ELT” button is highlighted) to program the ELT. Close the temporary programming
window when programming is finished.
