NOTE 1: When entering data into the programming software, most fields not filled with the maximum
allowable number of characters will fill the unused portion with zeros to the left of the data entered.
Exceptions to this are noted in the appropriate subsections below.
NOTE 2
: The COSPAS-SARSAT 15-digit ELT Identifier allows manufacturers 16,383 possible serial
numbers. Artex has reached that limit with the C, B, G, and ME Series. For ELTs that pass serial number
16,383 and move on to a 3-digit prefix, different COSPAS-SARSAT numbers will be assigned to that ELT.
See Table 2.
Table 2: ELT Serial Number Continuations
ELT Series
COSPAS-
SARSAT #
Manufacturing Serial # ELT Programmed Serial #
112 00001 to 16383 00001 to 16383
C, B, G
170 170-00001 to 170-16383 00001 to 16383
152 00001 to 16383 00001 to 16383
188 188-00001 to 188-16383 00001 to 16383
ME
197 197-00001 to 197-16383 00001 to 16383
Because a different COSPAS-SARSAT # is used when the serial numbers reset after
16,383, the 15-digit ELT Identifier remains unique.
NOTE
: There were a small number of ELTs in the C, B, G series that used the letter “A”
as a prefix before the numerical prefix was adopted for use. (i.e., A00001 instead of
170-00001)
