INITIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL AF INTEGRA / AF-H INTEGRA (2) RC102 KIT The RC102 remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 2-wire cable equipped with a DIN-12 connector or optional programming dongle on the ELT side and directly connected to the RCP on the other side. 2 types of front panels are supplied in the kit.
INITIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL AF INTEGRA / AF-H INTEGRA (4) RC300 / RC300 NVG The RC300 is connected to the ELT via a 4-wire bundle equipped with a DIN-12 connector or optional programming dongle on the ELT side and a D-SUB 9 PTS Male connector on the other side.
Connection to the ELT will be carried out with a 50 Ohm coaxial cable ended with two male BNC connectors. IMPORTANT NOTICE: KANNAD recommends a cable with radio electric properties similar or better to those of a RG58 cable. Note: the 50 Ohm coaxial cable and the male BNC connectors are not supplied.
INITIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL AF INTEGRA / AF-H INTEGRA 3. Registration A. General The ELT must be registered prior to installation onboard. When a 406 MHz ELT is installed in an aircraft, it is imperative that the aircraft owner register the ELT. Each 406 MHz ELT contains a unique identification code that is transmitted to the satellite.
INITIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL AF INTEGRA / AF-H INTEGRA of any changes to the status of your 406 MHz beacon could result in penalties and/or fines being issued under Federal Law. The owner or user of the beacon is required to notify NOAA of any changes to the registration information at any time.
INITIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL AF INTEGRA / AF-H INTEGRA 4. ELT Installation A. ELT and bracket installation recommendations The ELT shall not be installed within 30cm (1 ft) of a compass or flux gate. The distance between ELT and antenna shall be determined so that, according to the coaxial cable choosen.
ELT. For these reasons, KANNAD recommends to install the ELT in a location in such a way that the vertical extension of the integral antenna is exposed to a RF transparent window.
