2. Programming
A. "Pin programming" option
The INTEGRA family offers pin-programming capabilities to facilitate
maintenance operations especially in the case of removals and/or
replacement.
A special DIN 12 connector with a Serial Memory Module (called "Programming
Dongle") is connected to the ELT when installed onboard. This Programming
Dongle contains the identification information of the aircraft and remains
onboard the aircraft. When an unprogrammed ELT is installed and connected
to this Programming Dongle and the "ELT" is switched to "ARM", it
automatically updates its own memory with the identification data contained in
the Programming Dongle memory.
When the ELT is removed from the aircraft, it keeps its identification data.
For maintenance purposes, it is possible to delete the identification information
of the ELT by connecting a "Maintenance Dongle" to the ELT. Any accidental
transmission with this "maintenance dongle" will not involve SAR operation as
the identification code transmitted is recognised by COSPAS-SARSAT as "not
onboard".
When a maintenance dongle is connected:
• Country code is 227 (France).
• Protocol is Test.
• Identification number is K + 6 digits (the 6 digits of the CSN number).
If the pin programming option is selected by the owner, the following equipment
are required:
• a "Programming Dongle" on each aircraft;
• a "Maintenance Dongle" on each ELT spare.
