7. Activation
A. Standby mode for automatic activation
In order to be automatically activated by the crash sensor, the ELT must be in
standby mode. This mode is mandatory during the flight. We recommend to
switch the ELT off
only
when the aircraft is parked for a long period or for a
maintenance operation.
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ARM".
To operate the ELT with the Remote Control Panel, ensure that:
• The ELT switch is in the "ARM" position.
B. Manual activation
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ON " (either on the ELT or on the Remote Control Panel):
- The ELT starts with the self-test sequence.
- 121.5 / 243 MHz transmission starts immediately after the self-test.
- 406 MHz starts after 50 seconds (406 MHz burst every 50 sec during 24
hours).
- During transmission, buzzer operates and visual indicator flashes.
8. Reset
It is possible to stop the ELT in case of unintentional activation.
Important notice: As 406 MHz transmission is effective 50 seconds after
the ELT activation, if it is reset within this delay, no further radio contact
will be necessary.
A. Manual reset
• Switch to " OFF " then to "ARM".
B. Reset with Remote Control Panel
• The switch has to be in the "ARM" position on the ELT.
• Switch to " RESET & TEST" on the remote control.
9. Self-Test
Refer to 1. Self-test, page 301
Regulations state that no transmission must be interrupted unless
every means are used to contact and inform the Air Traffic Controller
of this action.
