Description
A.
Functional Overview
1)
The Dongle is connected to an ELT to allow the operator to easily program aircraft 24-bit address
(Standard Location Protocol) into a compatible ELT.
2)
When power is applied, the Dongle verifies the 24-bit address set locally on its DIP switches matches the
24-bit address stored in the memory of the ELT when power is applied. If the Dongle address matches
the ELT address, the Dongle will shut down. If the ELT address does not match, the Dongle will
program the ELT with its locally set address, and then shut down.
B.
Components
1)
The Dongle is designed to mount to a protective top cover on the ELT with four screws. See Figure 2
DGL-1 (Dongle) Programming Adapter Assembly.

2)
The Dongle can be mounted directly to the airframe within the proximity of the ELT to utilize the
prefabricated cable assembly (P/N 611-4010).
