3.3.5 TRANSMITTER FUNTIONAL TEST FOR ELT-(S) ONLY
The ELT-(S) should be tested every month.
3.3.5.1 Main Switch ON / OFF / SELF TEST Operation:
The ELT-(S) has an "OFF" position. This allows the beacon to be handled or shipped
without 'nuisance' activation. Care should be taken when transporting or shipping the
ELT-(S) not to move the switch or to allow packing material to become lodged such
as to toggle the switch.
Main Switch, alternate / alternate / momentary positions:
"ON:" Alternate position. ELT-(S) transmits immediately. Green ON light on the
main unit flashes, 1 second ON, 4 seconds OFF. The ELT swept Tone must be
heard on the 121.5 MHz VHF Radio.
"OFF:" Alternate position. The ELT-(S) is turned off.
"SELF TEST:" Momentary position. ELT-(S) self-test is confirmed after the
switch is held for 25 seconds. If the self-test is passed, the Green ON light must
be extinguished. ELT swept Tone must be silent on the 121.5 MHz VHF Radio.
The ELT-(S) system is fully self-tested.
