8.8 Current Draw Check
Remove ELT from aircraft and remove battery. Install test adapter P/N 217-406-005 at the quick
disconnect. Check the following:
• In the ARM position the current draw does not exceed 2uA.

8.9 Automatic Activation System Check
Transport Canada has required this test be done IAW CAR V Standard 571 Appendix G which states:
(e) a test of the automatic activation system.
Emerging Lifesaving Technologies provides instructions to activate the G-Switch for test
purposes. A rapid forward motion that comes to an abrupt stop (football pass method) will
usually set off the G-switch. The antenna must be installed during this procedure. The unit will
go into fault mode as indicated by rapid green light on the unit if it is activated with a 50 ohm
load applied or an antenna installed. Always check to insure the green light comes on and then
reset the unit within 30 seconds of the test. These or any other methods approved by the local
aviation governing authority is acceptable.
It is never acceptable to just drop it on the floor
