If self-test fails, contact the distributor as soon as possible. Unless a
waver is granted, flight should be cancelled (refer to National Aviation
Authorities).
2. Operational tests
These tests must be performed by maintenance personnel when performing
the first power up procedure or to check the transmitter (Refer to B. Test of
transmitted signals).
A. ELT operational tests
NOTE: ELT operational tests only provide the aircraft operator with an indica-
tion that the ELT is transmitting; however, a positive result cannot be interpret-
ed as meaning that the ELT meets all operational parameters.
• connect the outside antenna to J2;
• switch the ELT from OFF to ARM;
• check that the Self-Test result is OK (one long flash).
B. Test of transmitted signals
(1) 406 MHz Transmission tests
This test should be carried out with a COSPAS-SARSAT decoder.
Note: If a COSPAS-SARSAT decoder is not available, the coding sheet
supplied by the programmer for the beacon (or dongle) with the
corresponding CSN proves that the beacon (or dongle) is correctly
programmed. Skip to § (2) 121.5 MHz
• Perform self-test (switch ELT from OFF to ARM).
• Check with the COSPAS-SARSAT decoder that, except for the 5th and the
6th digits, the decoded message is identical to the programmed message.
NOTE:The message transmitted during self-test sequence always begins with
FF FE D0 whereas a programmed message begins with FF FE 2F.
Example of message programmed in ELT:
3+1 LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE
3+2 LOW RF POWER
3+3 FAULTY VCO LOCKING (FAULTY FREQUENCY)
3+4 NO IDENTIFICATION PROGRAMMED
3+5 FAULTY VSWR (EXT. ANTENNA)
3+6 INTERNAL GPS SERIAL LINK
