ME406 HM
The Artex ME406 Helicopter Model (HM), a single output ELT,
utilizes the same RF output and only one coax cable to transmit
121.5 and 406 MHz emergency signals to the Cospas/Sarsat
satellites. The ELT automatically activates during a crash and
transmits a continuous swept tone of 121.5 MHz. During activation,
the 406 MHz transmitter sends an encoded 5- watt signal every 50
seconds for 440 milliseconds to alert Search and Rescue.
C406-1HM
The Artex C406-1 series transmits on all 3 emergency frequencies
(121.5/243.0 and 406 MHz). The ELT automatically activates during a
crash and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz.
It also transmits a 406 MHz encoded digital message to the
Cospas/Sarsat satellite system, which allows for rapid
identification and reduces Search and Rescue response time.
C406-2HM
The Artex C406-2 series transmits on all 3 emergency frequencies
(121.5/243.0 and 406 MHz.) The ELT automatically activates during a
crash and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz.
It also transmits a 406 MHz encoded digital message to the
Cospas/Sarsat satellite system, which allows for rapid
identification and reduces Search and Rescue response time.
C406-NHM
The Artex C406-NHM 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.
