APPENDIX A.1
QUICK OPERATION CHECK
ELT ON LEDs
(Main Unit + Remote Unit)
Swept tone on 121.5 MHz VHF Radio
1. ELT switch at ON position *
2. ELT switch at ARM position
3. ELT switch at ARM position
for another 25 sec **
(Self Test Mode)
Self Test takes 25 sec
NOTE: If the LEDs flash there is a problem.
Please refer to “Installation and Operation manual” paragraph 2.4 for details.
4. ELT switch at ARM position. Shake
ELT hard Forward and Backward
(G Switch Test) *
5. Press RESET button
on Main Unit
6. Press ON button
on Remote Unit *
7. Press RESET button
on Remote Unit
Now the ELT switch on the Main Unit should be left at ARM position and the ELT is ready to go.
Note 1: The ELT switch is “make before break.” Return to OFF for at least 1 sec before changing positions.
Note 2: Press RESET anytime to turn off unwanted transmission.
*WARNING Do not allow ELT On test duration and G Switch test duration, to exceed 5-10 seconds. A false alarm may be generated.
Any time the ELT is activated, it is transmitting a 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz distress signal. If the ELT operates for approximately 50
seconds, a “live” 406 MHz distress signal is transmitted and is considered valid by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system.
**WARNING Any time that the ELT Main Switch is lifted and flipped from “OFF” to “ARM”, a 406 MHz self test burst is transmitted
(after 25 seconds),however it is specially coded as a “self test, Bit reversal” signal that is ignored by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites
