2.1 Overview
The following subsections provide an overview of the Handheld Programmer hardware:
2.1.1 Connections
The Handheld Programmer is fitted with two connectors (Figure 2):
• A quick connect/disconnect circular connector for connecting the programming
cables. This connector is push-on/pull-off type.
CAUTION: DO NOT TWIST THE CONNECTOR.
The built-in lock/release mechanism securely locks the mated connectors, while
allowing quick disconnection by simply pulling on the plug release collar. Molded-
in grooves prevent hand slippage when pulling on the connector.
Three cables are supplied with the Handheld Programmer to facilitate connection
to current Artex 406 MHz ELT models. The cables are:
▪ 611-0110 – For 110-406 and C406 Series; including the C406-1 and C406-2
Series, G406 series, B406 series (i.e., any Artex 406 MHz ELT using a 12-pin
Molex connector).
▪ 611-0111 – For C406-N/PA Series
▪ 611-0112 – For ME406 Series, ELT 1000, and ELT 345
▪ A2-07-0270 – For ELT 3000/4000/PA series
• The ELT reader portion of the Handheld Programmer uses a BNC connector to
allow connection of a 110-418 antenna or a direct-connect coax cable. See
Subsection 11.2 for optional equipment.
