Note 1: When entering data into the programming software, most fields not filled with
the maximum allowable number of characters will fill the unused portion with zeros to the
left of the data entered. Exceptions to this are noted in the appropriate sections below.
Note 2: The Cospas-Sarsat 15-digit ELT Identifier allows manufacturers 16,383 possible
serial numbers. Artex has reached that limit with these ELT’s.
For ELT’s that pass the 16,383 Serial number and move on to a 3-digit prefix, two different
Cospas-Sarsat numbers will be assigned to that ELT. In this case Cospas-Sarsat number
112 is used for Manufacturing Serial number 00001 to 16,383; Cospas-Sarsat number 170
is used for Manufacturing Serial number 170-00001 and above. The following chart shows
