2. Registration and Programming
The KANNAD 406 AF / AF-H / AF (6D) are fully compatible with the four
programming protocols defined by the COSPAS-SARSAT C/S G005
document:
• Serialised Number.
• Aircraft 24 bit Address (the same as MODE S ATC or TCAS).
• Aircraft Operator Desi serialised number up to 4096.
• Aircraft Nationality and Registration marking (Tail Number). This
identification consists of up to 7 alphanumeric characters.
Programming of the ELT can be carried out either:
• by KANNAD or the distributor (order must include programming details).
• in the shop with a programming and test equipment (PC interface and
Windows
®
software).
• on board the aircraft with a programming equipment or programming
dongle.
This operation takes less than 2 minutes and does not need any hardware
operation. The identification is simply downloaded in the ELT when connected
to the KANNAD programming equipment via the DIN 12 connector.
A. Pin programming option
The KANNAD 406 AF / AF-H / AF (6D) offer pin-programming capabilities to
facilitate maintenance operations especially in case of removals and/or
replacement.
A special DIN 12 connector with a Serial Memory Module (called "Programming
Dongle") is connected to the ELT when installed on board. This Programming
Dongle contains the identification information of the aircraft and remains on
board the aircraft. When an unprogrammed ELT is installed and connected to
this Programming Dongle and the "ELT" is switched to "ARM", it automatically
updates its own memory with the identification data contained in the
The ELT must be registered prior to installation on board.
The registration card available from the local registration authority
must be completed and returned to this authority.
The "Programming Datasheet" (DIM0300) must be completed and
returned to your distributor.
Any change of ownership shall also be declared and registered with
the local registration authority and with the distributor.
