SECTION 9 OPERATION AND SELF TEST
THERE ARE THREE MODES THAT THE ELT MAY BE ACTIVATED:
1.) The ELT automatically activates when in the “armed” position, and a crash level
deceleration force is applied to the ELT, in the forward direction as indicated by the arrow on
the top of the battery pack.
2.) The ELT also may be activated by pressing the “On” button on the cockpit remote control
(RCPI). (Page 11 Fig. 16)
3.) A third method of activating the ELT, is by means of placing the main on-off-armed
switch, on the front of the ELT in the “On” position. (Page 11 Fig. 17)
The red rubber cover, covering the main switch on the ELT SHOULD BE LEFT OFF AT ALL
TIMES, EXCEPT WHEN THE ELT IS IN THE ARMED POSITION. The cover has a center cone,
that projects down into the switch recess, and provides for positive retention of the switch in
the armed position.
There are two modes in which the ELT may be deactivated.
1.) Pressing the “Reset” button on the remote control (RCPI). (Page 11 Fig. 16)
2.) Placing the main switch on the ELT in the “Off” position. (Page 11 Fig. 17)
When the ELT is activated, and transmitting the 406 Mhz distress signal. The cockpit remote
will flash, and the audio alert indicator will emit a series of 9 beeps, approximately every 50
seconds to alert the crew that the ELT is operating. If there is no emergency, reset the ELT
using the “Reset” button on the remote, (Page 11 Fig. 16) and immediately notify the
appropriate search and rescue operations office, or ATC of the false activation.
SELF TESTS:
The ELT is capable of performing a self test to verify that major ELT systems are functioning
properly.
During the self test, the ELT transmits on 121.5 MHz for 1 second, (3 audio sweeps) then
transmits a 406 MHz test burst for 550ms, then returns to the armed mode.
There are two modes in which a self test can be initiated:
1.) When the ELT is in the “Armed” position, pressing the “Reset/Test” switch on the cockpit
remote control (RCPI) initiates a self test. (Page 11 Fig. 16)
