Artex C406-N Embedded Nav Interface
- Single output ELT, incorporates latitude/longitude information from the aircraft navigation system
- Automatically activates during 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 sends an encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system
- All three emergency frequencies (121.5/243.0 and 406.028 MHz) utilize the same RF output, which requires only one coax cable to connect to the new series of Artex single input antennas
- By use of an optional programming adapter, the ELT can also be programmed with the aircraft's 24-bit address for fleet operators as well as other custom programming
