6. Operation
Figure 10: Operating modes
A. Stand by mode
The stand by mode is the ARMED position (idle position). The switch is in
the middle position.
This mode is used to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor of
the ELT provided that the ELT switch is in armed position. Unless
there is an emergency, the switch must stay in this position.
B. ON mode
This mode is used to activate manually the ELT. When this mode is
selected, the ELT transmission is activated.
- Press the switch upwards.
A self test is first performed (
Refer to C. RESET & TEST, page 13
).
- After the self-test (max. duration 15 seconds), the ELT starts to transmit:
• The visual indicator is flashing in the same way than those of the ELT;
• The buzzer of the ELT (and outside buzzer if connected) is activated.
C. RESET & TEST
This mode is used either to perform a self-test or to stop the ELT
transmission if activated.
(1) Self test
IMPORTANT: Do not perform self-test without the antenna
connected.
Self-test must be performed regularly by a pilot or maintenance
personnel from the Remote Control Panel but should not be done
more often than specified in ELT user manual.
However, each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should
self-tests be carried out more often than the maximum allowed, the
battery life-time of the ELT might be shorter than specified.
