NOTE:
The ELT 1000 can be installed using either a 5-wire remote switch, ARTEX P/N 345-6196, or a
2-wire remote switch, ARTEX P/N A3-06-2759. Note that the 2-wire remote switch does not
require a connection to the aircraft power to operate.
1)
Select a suitable switch location in the cockpit. The switch needs to be visible and accessible, where the pilot
can easily reach the switch and notice the indicator LED.
2)
The switch assembly requires a panel area of approximately 2.0 x 1.3 in. (51 x 33 mm). Figure 18 shows the
dimensions. The clearance behind the panel must allow for the mating connector and harness wires, as well as
the switch depth.
