PA Software Operation
The PA is programmed in the exact same manner as the C406-N ELT. The reason for
this is that the PA holds programming identical to the programming in the attached ELT,
and simply updates the ELT if there is a difference.
To program a C406-N series PA, follow the ELT programming instructions in Section 4,
except select 9600 Baud PA. Select the protocol intended for the ELTs that will be
attached to the PA in the aircraft.
1.
Enter programming information for protocol being used.
2.
Tap “ENTER” button on screen.
3.
The 32-digit Hex code or 24-digit Hex code is shown at the bottom of the screen
with the abbreviated 15-digit Hex code below it.
4.
Tap the “PROGRAM” button to program the PA.
5.
Ensure the screen shows “Programming Successful”.
6.
Verify the programming using Sarcalc, as described in Subsection 6.2.

ELT 3000/ELT 4000 Series Programming Adapter
The ELT 3000 series and ELT 4000 series offer an accessory programming adapter (PA)
designed to reprogram the attached ELT to match the programming contained within
the programming adapter. This feature is used by fleet operators to facilitate ELT
exchange for maintenance purposes. The ELT 3000 series and ELT 4000 series PA is
programmed in exactly the same manner as an ELT, as described in Section 4.
