3. Design features
A. General
KANNAD 406 AS is a survival ELT intended to be removed from the aircraft and
used to assist SAR teams in locating survivors of a crash.
KANNAD 406 AS is a standalone equipment equipped with an auxiliary
antenna and activated manually by survivors or automatically by a “Water
Switch Sensor” (optional) when in contact with water.
B. Mechanical design
KANNAD 406 AS is made of moulded plastic with excellent mechanical
resistance (ASA/PC, light yellow colour).
The housing is designed to be easily taken in one hand. A tether is supplied to
tie the ELT to a liferaft.
KANNAD 406 AS is fitted with a floating collar to enable the ELT to float upright
if used in water. This floating collar can be removed if the ELT is attached to a
life-raft or any buoyant part.
IMPORTANT: Unlike all other KANNAD 406 ELTs (automatic), KANNAD
406 AS (survival) is not
fitted with a G-Switch (shock detector).
