2)
Insert the ELT into the mounting tray at an angle, engaging the locking ears at the tail end first. Press the ELT
down until it is fully seated in the mounting tray.

4)
Install two sealant strips (850-0814) into the receptacle of the ELT. Peel the adhesive backing from the strips
and stack one on top of the other. Push the pins through the strips.
5)
Connect the harness to the ELT, taking care to insert the connector straight in. Secure the connector with the
thumbscrews.
NOTE:
Care must be taken in the cable connection process to avoid shorting any pins to ground or
each other. Under some circumstances, the shorting or grounding of the pins signal the ELT as
if the remote switch was activated. This may result in ELT transmissions or setting the ELT into
a monitoring condition.
This may result in the ELT exhibiting battery runtime in excess of regulations. To avert this
condition, after the harness connection is complete the installer shall activate the self-test on
the installed unit. This action will need to be performed whenever the harness is disconnected
and then re-connected.
6)
Connect the antenna coax cable to the ELT.
7)
Test the ELT installation in accordance with the requirements of Table 5 on page 24. Verify digital message
(406 MHz burst) per procedures in Table 5 on page 24.
