The Artex C406N series ELT is a single output ELT that incorporates latitude/longitude information from the aircraft navigation system. All 3 emergency frequencies (121.5/243.0 and 406 MHz) utilize the same RF output, which requires only 1 coax cable to connect to the new series of Artex single input antennas. The ELT automatically activates during a crash and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. Every 50 seconds for 520 milliseconds (long message protocol), the 406 MHz transmitter turns on and transmits an encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system.

By use of an optional programming adapter, the ELT can also be programmed with the aircraft's 24-Bit address for fleet operators as well as other custom programming. The C406-N series ELT is available for fixed wing with a single-directional G-Switch.

Warranty coverage is effectively extended from previous warranties offered on Artex products.  To qualify for warranty coverage, a customer must do one of two things.

1) Provide the original packing list from Artex and/or Ulfsberg Electronics with a shipping date on it.  The warranty period expires 24 months from the date shipped on the packing list. 

2) Provide proof of installation date (Logbook entry, signed copy of the FAA form 337 the ELT was installled under, or other documentation stating such).

If the customer is unable to provide either methods of documentation, the warranty will apply for 24 months from date of manufacture listed on the ELT product label, with a 6 month instalation grace period - effectively 30 months.
