C406-1
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.
C406-2
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-N
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.
B406-4
The B406-4 has been modified to interface with Boeing's
Master Caution System in conjunction with the DZUS mounted cockpit
remote panel (P/N 453-0161) for the B737 and is furthermore
approved for use on all models of the B747, B757, B767 and
B777.
