570-2000, Rev. E, 453-2000 Handheld Programmer Operations Manual
8.
Labeling Requirements
Reprogramming any ELT or C406-N series PA makes the existing 15-digit hex code label
obsolete. A new 15-digit hex code label must replace the old one, as ELT labeling must
reflect the programming inside.
If reprogramming the ELT also changes the country of origin and 3-digit country code, a
new country and country code label must replace the old one before the ELT may be
returned to service.
Labels may be printed using the Handheld Programmer and a supported printer. See
Subsection 7.2.
Labels may also be requested on the “ARTEX 406 MHz PROGRAMMING RECORD” included
in this manual that gets returned to the “Artex Repair Station Manager” for every ELT or
C406-N series PA that is reprogrammed. If requested, labels will be created and shipped
overnight to the address listed on the programming record, for a small fee listed on the
reprogramming record.
Artex can also provide preprinted labels with blank data fields in bulk. Contact Artex for
details.
If labels are not requested, the user must create permanent, weatherproof labeling using
indelible ink and a protective layer over the label text. Labeling must meet all regulatory
authority requirements.
NOTE
: Alteration or replacement of the ELT product label, beyond that described above,
must be approved by Artex.
