The Artex C406-N is a single output ELT that incor-
porates latitude/longitude information from the aircraft
navigation system. By use of an optional programming
adapter, the ELT can also be programmed with the
aircraftGs 24-bit address for fleet operators as well as
other custom programming.All 3 emergency frequen-
cies (121.5/243.0 and 406.028 MHz) utilize the same RF
output, which requires only 1 coax cable to connect to
the new series of Artex single input antennas.The ELT
automatically activates during a crash and transmits the
standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. Every 50
seconds for 520 milliseconds (long message protocol)
the 406.028 MHz transmitter turns on and transmits an
encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite
system.Also available is the Artex C406-N HM,
which is equipped with a 6 axis GGG Switch for helicop-
ter installations. Except for the end cap (P/N 452-
5066), the mounting hardware for the C406-N Series is
compatible with all previous models of Artex 406 MHz
ELTGs.
