3. Working mode information
The KANNAD 406 AF / AF-H / AF (6D) have 4 different modes:
• Off.
• Self-test (temporary mode).
• Armed (standby mode to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor
or by the remote control panel).
• On (transmission).
Transmission is effective if the beacon is activated (either manually on the ELT
control panel, remotely by the "ON" switch on the remote control panel or
automatically by the shock sensor).
A. Off
The ELT is off when the switch is in position "OFF".
No part of the ELT is energized.
This mode must only be selected when the ELT is removed from the aircraft or
parked for a long period or for maintenance.
B. Self-Test
The self-test mode is a temporary mode in which the ELT checks the main
characteristics of the transmitter (Battery voltage, Programming...) and enables
digital communication with a programming and test equipment.
This mode is selected:
• when switching from "OFF" to "ARM";
• when switching to "RESET / TEST" on the Remote Control Panel
(provided that the switch of the ELT is in the "ARM" position);
• when switching to "ON" prior to transmission.
After a few seconds, the test result is displayed with the visual indicator as
follows:
• One long flash indicates valid test.
• A series of short flashes indicates unsatisfactory test result.
It is recommended to test the ELT regularly in order to detect any possible
failure (
Refer to A. Periodicity, page 301
).The number of self-tests carried out
is recorded. This information is available when the ELT is connected to a
programming and test equipment (PR600).
C. Armed
In order to enable activation by the G-Switch or with the Remote Control Panel,
the ELT must be in standby mode with the switch in the ARM position.
This mode is mandatory during flight. The ELT should remain in the ARM
position all the time except when the ELT is removed from the aircraft or if the
