Model G58
ELT testing consists of turning the unit on and then resetting it
using the following procedures.
• Tests should be conducted between the times of on-the-
hour until 5 minutes after the hour.
• Notify any nearby control towers.
• Provide power to an airplane radio and tune it to 121.5
Mhz.
• Place the ELT remote switch to ON. Wait for at least 3
sweeping tones on the airplane radio, which will take
about 1 second, then return the switch to ARM.
• The test is successful if the sweeping tones are heard
and the transmit light next to the switch blinks immedi-
ately. If there is a delay in the illumination of the transmit
light, the system is not working properly.
If the ELT should be inadvertently activated by the "G" switch,
the transmit light next to the switch will blink. The ELT can be
deactivated by momentarily placing the remote switch ON and
then back to ARM.
