Activation - Kannad 406 AF-COMPACT Installation Manual

4. Activation

A. Standby mode for automatic activation
In order to be automatically activated by the crash sensor, the ELT must be in
standby mode. This mode is mandatory during the flight. We recommend to
switch off the ELT only when the aircraft is parked for a long period or for a
maintenance operation.
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ARM".
To operate the ELT with the Remote Control Panel, ensure that:
• The ELT switch is the "ARM" position .
B. Manual activation
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch to " ON " (either on the ELT or on the Remote Control Panel):
- The ELT starts with the self-test sequence then, after 50 sec., transmits
on:
• 406 MHz (one 406 MHz burst every 50 seconds);
• 121.5 MHz (continous transmission between each 406 MHz burst).
- During transmission, the buzzer operates and the red visual indicator
flashes.
5. Reset
It is possible to stop the ELT in case of unintentional activation.
Regulations state that no transmission must be interrupted unless
every means are used to contact and inform the Air Traffic Controller
Important notice: As 406 MHz transmission is effective 50 seconds after
the ELT activation, if it is reset within this delay, no further radio contact
will be necessary.
A. Manual reset
• Switch to " OFF ".
B. Reset with Remote Control Panel
• The switch has to be in position "ARM" on the ELT.
• Switch to " RESET & TEST" on the remote control panel.
