7.37 EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (Continued)
ARTEX 110-4 ELT OPERATION
On the ELT unit itself is a two position switch placarded ON and OFF.
The OFF position is selected when the transmitter is installed at the factory and
the switch should remain in that position whenever the unit is installed in the
airplane.
A pilots remote switch, placarded ON and ARM is located on the pilots
lower left instrument panel to allow the transmitter to be armed or tumed on
from inside the cabin. The switch is normally in ARM position.
Moving the
switch to ON will activate the transmitter.
A warning light located above the
remote switch will alert you when ever the ELT is activated.
Should the ELT be activated inadvertently it can be reset by either
positioning the remote switch to the ON then immediately relocating it to the
ARM position, or by setting the switch on the ELT to ON and then back to OFF.
In the event the transmitter is activated by an impact, it can be turned off
by moving the ELT switch OFF. Normal operation can then be restored by
resetting the switch to ARM. It may also be turned off and reset by positioning
the remote switch to the ON and then immediately to the ARM position.
The transmitter can be activated manually at any time by placing either the
remote switch or the ELT switch to the ON position.
NOTE:
Three sweeps of the emergency
tone and an
illuminated warning light indicates a normally
functioning unit.
The warning light must
illuminate during the first 3 second test period.
If it does not illuminate, a problem is indicated
such as a"G" switch failure.
