GENERAL
This supplement provides information which must be observed
when operating the Pointer Model 3000-11 or 4000·11 Emergency
Locator Transmitter. The Pointer Model 4000-11 EmergencYI
Locator Transmitter is approved for use only in the USA, Canada
and Japan.
Both the Pointer Model 3000-11 EL T (which incorporates the
english placard) and Model 4000-11 EL T (which incorporates the
bilingual placard) consist of a self-contained, dual-frequency, solid-
state transmitter powered by a battery pack consisting of five
alkaline "C" cell batteries and is automatically activated by a
deceleration sensing inertia "G" switch, which is designed to
activate when the unit senses longitudinal inertia forces as required
in TSO-C91A. Also , a remote switch/annunciator is installed on the
top right hand side of the copilot's instrument panel for control of
the EL T from the flight crew station . The annunciator, which is in
the center of the rocker switch, illuminates when the EL T transm itter
is transmitting. The EL T emits an omni-directional signal on the
international distress frequencies of 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz.
General aviation and commercial aircraft, the FAA and CAP monitor
121 .5 MHz, and 243.0 MHz is monitored by the military.
The EL T is contained in a high impact, fire retardant, glass filled
Lexon case with carrying handle and is mounted behind the aft
cabin partition wall on the right side of the tailcone . To gain access
to the unit, unfasten the turn fasteners on the aft cabin partition.
The EL T is operated by a control panel at the forward facing end of
the unit or by the remote switch/annunciator located on the top right
hand portion of the copilot's instrument panel (see Figure 1).
Power for the transmitter is provided by an alkaline battery pack
inside the transmitter case .
