Artex ELT 110-4 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
A. Description
The Artex ELT 110-4 transmits on 121.5 mHz and 243.0 mHz, and is designed to meet or exceed
the requirements of TSO C91a and FAR Part 91. Electrical power for the ELT transmissions is
totally supplied by its own self-contained battery. The battery must be replaced if the transmitter has
been used in an emergency situation or if accumulated test time exceeds one hour, or no later than
the replacement date marked on the transmitter label, whichever comes first.
The Artex 110 cannot be accidentally activated by dropping the unit, handling it roughly, or during
shipping. However, when properly mounted, and locked into its mounting tray, the ELT will activate
in a crash, regardless of the cockpit remote switch and ELT. switch position. The normal position of
the ELT switch is in the down or OFF position. The normal position of the remote cockpit switch is in
down or ARM position
Whenever the ELT is activated, a red light located just above the remote cockpit switch will blink to
alert the pilot or maintenance personnel. Should the ELT be activated accidentally, it must be reset.
To reset:
(1) Position the remote cockpit switch to ON, then immediately reposition it to ARM, or;
(2) Position the switch on the ELT to ON, then immediately reposition it to OFF.
