Product No. 455-6614
The Artex ME-406
is a single output ELT. Two emergency
frequencies (121.5 and 406.028 MHz) utilize the
same RF output, requiring only one 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 MHz.
Every 50 seconds for 440 milliseconds the 406 MHz
transmitter turns on and transmits an encoded digital
message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system. The
mounting hardware for the ME-406 Series is compatible
with all previous models of Artex 406 MHz, as well as the
ELT200 Series, ACK, Ameriking, Pointer Model 3000 ELT and
Narco ELT’s. Current owners of Artex 2-frequency ELT can
re-use the remote switch in the cockpit as well as thewiring harness from the cockpit to the ELT thus greatly
reducing installation costs. |
