2.4 Temperature
The 406 has gone through extensive Cospas/ Sarsat, TSO, and environmental testing and has
proven to work at -20°C and +55° C
2.5 Aircraft Power Requirements
The 406 ELT is completely self-contained for normal operations. In order to preserve internal
battery power a 1/2 amp circuit should be provided for the GPS function. If an avionics buss is
installed it is preferable to use this buss.
2.6 Mechanical Characteristics
The 406 ELT is made of high impact polycarbonate that has been especially designed for
Emerging Lifesaving Technologies. With this design the 406ELT far exceeds the minimum
performance standards. It has a base unit that is made of the same material and is secured to the
base plate using a Velcro material. This allows for easy removal and reinstallation.
2.7 Electrical Characteristics
The 406 ELT will work without any outside inputs. A remote switch is installed to give the pilot
control of the unit from the cockpit. Additionally, a 1 amp circuit should be installed to operate
the GPS. The system will accept between 10 to 33vdc.
Pre-made harnesses are available in various lengths. Contact the manufacturer for more
information.
