5. Using the ELT Reader
The supplied Sarcalc program version 3.01or higher (sarcalc.prc) is pre-installed on the
Meazura unit in ROM memory.
Select the Sarcalc program by tapping the “Sarcalc” icon shown in Figure 5.
NOTE: The exact location of your Sarcalc icon may vary depending on what other
programs or applications are loaded on your Test Set. Select “Measure” from the initial
screen. Connect the reader to the ELT directly with a coax cable (no attenuator
required for test set) or connect the whip antenna.
NOTE: The ELT read function does not detect or verify the presence of 121.5
MHz; this is a 406 MHz reader ONLY.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
PERFORM ALL ELT TESTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL OR
NATIONAL REGULATIONS. IF REQUIRED, TERMINATE ELT INTO A 50-
OHM LOAD OR PERFORM TESTING IN AN RF SHIELDED
ENVIRONMENT.
ELTS WITH 121.5/243 MHZ TRANSMITTERS MUST BE TESTED
WITHIN 5 MINUTES AFTER THE HOUR (US/CANADA). LIVE
TRANSMISSIONS OF THE 406 MHZ SIGNAL MUST BE LIMITED TO
ELTS WHICH TRANSMIT A “SELF TEST” USING TEST FRAME
SYNCHRONIZATION. EXTENDED TESTING OF THE 406 MHZ ELT
SIGNAL MUST BE PERFORMED DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE
READER WITH PROPER SIGNAL ATTENUATION AND/OR RF
SHIELDING. SEE “OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT”.
