  A 1-Flash error on your ARTEX Transmitter can be due to several reasons related to the G-switch loop or remote switch harness. Here's what you should check: * Check the remote switch harness connector at the ELT for looseness or disconnection and tighten if necessary. * Inspect the ELT connector pins for bending or breakage, and repair or replace as needed. * Look for an open jumper (internal to the remote switch harness connector at the ELT end) on connector pins 5 and 8, and repair the open jumper.

What to do if my ARTEX Transmitter ELT will not turn off?

  If your ARTEX Transmitter ELT won't turn off, here are some possible causes and solutions: * The battery may be too low to support a 406 burst, causing the circuit to reset. Remove the battery pack to disable the ELT and then replace the battery pack. * Check the wiring continuity of the remote switch harness reset circuit and repair as necessary. * The remote switch might be defective, consider replacing it.

  A 5-Flash error on your ARTEX Transmitter indicates that no navigation position data is present. To resolve this: * Ensure the aircraft navigation system is turned on. * Check the system interface wiring and connections for continuity and security. * If a 453-6500 ELT/NAV Interface is required but not installed, install it. * Reprogram to short message.

  If the remote switch LED on your ARTEX Transmitter is always on (steady), it could be due to improper wiring or a short circuit. Verify the wiring, check for frayed insulation, and verify the integrity of all crimp and solder connections.

  A 3-Flash error on your ARTEX Transmitter indicates a potential 406 MHz transmission problem. Here's what you can do: * Verify the coax cable/antenna is connected and in good condition. Perform a continuity check of the center conductor and shield, and check for a shorted cable. * Check for intermittent connections in the coax cable. * Use a VSWR meter to check the antenna. Look for opens, shorts, or a resistive ground plane connection. * Adjust the antenna coax cable length by 4 to 6 inches to address impedance issues. * Ensure a ground plane of at least 12 inches in diameter is present. * Keep the antenna at least 10-12 inches away from upright metal structures to prevent re-radiation. * Check if the battery is low. * Verify the 406 MHz programming. If these steps don't...
