5. C406-N Series PA (Programming Adapter)
The C406-N series ELTs offer an accessory programming adapter (PA) designed to
reprogram the attached ELT to match the programming contained within the programming
adapter. This feature is used by fleet operators to facilitate ELT exchange for
maintenance purposes. The C406-N series PA is programmed in exactly the same manner
as an ELT, as described in Section 4.
A C406-N series ELT intended for use with the PA is typically shipped with generic Serial
User – Aviation/ELT COSPAS (Short) programming, as described in Subsection 4.7.2 and
will be overwritten by the PA. The PA may also be ordered blank.
5.1 PA Hardware Operation
The following subsections describe operation of the PA with and without cannon plugs
attached to the PA.
5.1.1 With Cannon Plug Attached To PA
Communication between the PA and the Handheld Programmer requires translation by
a C406-N series ELT or a Programmable Adapter – Programmer Interface (PAPI), P/N
500-8000.
Program a PA by attaching it to the Handheld Programmer using the cable P/N 611-
0111. The male 22-pin circular connector attaches to the PA and the cable 22-pin
female circular connector attaches to a C406-N series ELT or PA-PI. See Figure 11.
NOTE
: The wiring of the 611-0111 harness only connects the six PA wires to the
Handheld Programmer and ELT or PA-PI. Any other wiring installed on the PA
connector will not be attached. It is therefore irrelevant if the additional lines are
active or powered off at the time of programming.
