Low Infrared Signature
The ME406 Black is configured for a low IR signature. The
black design and NVG filtered LED reduce the ability of visual
detection when removed from the aircraft and placed in operation.
Crew security is not compromised with a visual beacon in the
night.
Easy Removal from Aircraft
The stainless steel "twist-lock strap" mounting system is designed for easy removal. Should circumstances require a move to a more protected or accessible area, the auxiliary antenna allows continued transmission of the distress signal, after removing the ELT from a downed aircraft.

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.
For any inquiries regarding warranties, feel free to contact Artex products technical support at: support.prescott@cobham.com or by phone at USA 928-756-1615.
