570-2000, Rev. E, 453-2000 Handheld Programmer Operations Manual
5.1.2
Without Cannon Plug Attached To PA
Communication between the PA and the Handheld Programmer requires translation by
the Programmable Adapter - Programmer Interface (PA-PI), P/N 500-8000.
To program a PA, attach it to the PA-PI, using the six wires coming from the PA.
Attach them to the connector on top of the PA-PI matching the wire color codes to the
designated pins on the connector.
Connect the PA-PI to the Handheld Programmer using cable P/N 611-0111 and mating
the cable female 22-pin circular connector to the male connector on the PA-PI, as
shown in Figure 12.

PA Software Operation
The PA is programmed in the exact same manner as the C406-N ELT. The reason for
this is that the PA holds programming identical to the programming in the attached ELT,
and simply updates the ELT if there is a difference.
To program a C406-N series PA, follow the ELT programming instructions in Section 4,
except select 9600 Baud PA. Select the protocol intended for the ELTs that will be
attached to the PA in the aircraft.
1.
Enter programming information for protocol being used.
2.
Tap “ENTER” button on screen.
3.
The 32-digit Hex code or 24-digit Hex code is shown at the bottom of the screen
with the abbreviated 15-digit Hex code below it.
4.
Tap the “PROGRAM” button to program the PA.
5.
Ensure the screen shows “Programming Successful”.
6.
Verify the programming using Sarcalc, as described in Subsection 6.2.
