DESCRIPTION

A. Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)

This airplane is equipped with a self-contained ELT. The ELT transmitter is installed immediately behind the aft cabin bulkhead. The ELT is mounted slightly to the right of the airplane centerline. The transmitter and antenna are accessible through an access panel at the base of the baggage compartment bulkhead. ELT models available on the airplane include the ACK E-01 ELT, the Artex ME406 ELT, and the Artex ELT 1000.

Serials 1005 thru 2126 w/ ACK E-01 ELT: The transmitter unit is mounted longitudinally in the airplane.

If rapid deceleration is detected, the transmitter will repeatedly transmit VHF band audio sweeps at

121.5 Mhz and 243.0 Mhz approximately 0.5 seconds apart. The transmitter can be removed from the airplane and used as a personal locating device if it is necessary to leave the airplane after an accident.

The main transmitter control switch is labeled ON-OFF-ARMED. The transmitter is in the armed position for normal operations. Eight dated “D” cell alkaline batteries contained within the transmitter unit provide power to the transmitter. Replace all ELT batteries at the same time and with the same expiration date stamp. The expiration date of the batteries must be indicated on the outside of the ELT battery case and recorded in the aircraft logs.

The ELT Remote Switch and Control Panel Indicator (RCPI) are located below the circuit breakers on the circuit breaker panel. The RCPI provides test and monitoring functions for the transmitter. The panel contains a button labeled ON, a button labeled RESET, and a red LED indicator light. The ON button is used to test the unit in accordance with the manufacturer’s approved Instructions For Continued Airworthiness. The RESET button can be used to cancel an inadvertent transmission. The red light flashes when the ELT is transmitting. A Duracell PX28L or Kodak K28L 6-volt lithium battery mounted in the panel powers the LED.

WARNING: The ACK E-01 ELT is designed to use only Duracell MN1300 or PC 1300 alkaline batteries which are dated by the manufacturer. This ELT does not meet the requirements of TSO-91a or 14 CFR 91.207 if used with any other type of battery.

ELT and RCPI batteries must be inspected in accordance with the requirements of the replacement schedule in Chapter 5. The ELT and RCPI batteries must be replaced upon reaching the date stamped on the batteries or whenever the batteries have been in use for one cumulative hour.

For additional information on the ACK ELT, refer to the Model E-01 ELT Installation and Operation Manual. (Refer to 05-10)

Serials 1639 thru 2272 w/ Artex ME406 ELT: The transmitter unit is mounted longitudinally in the airplane in order to detect deceleration greater than 2.3 g. If rapid deceleration is detected, the transmitter will repeatedly transmit VHF band audio sweeps at 121.5 Mhz until battery power is gone. In addition, for the first 24 hours of operation, a 406 MHz signal is transmitted at 50-second intervals. This transmission lasts 440 ms and contains identification data programmed into the beacon and is received by Cospas-Sarsat satellites. The transmitted data is referenced in a database (maintained by the national authority responsible for ELT registration) and used to identify the beacon and owner. The transmitter can be removed from the airplane and used as a personal locating device if it is necessary to leave the airplane after an accident.

The main transmitter control switch is labeled ON-ARM. The transmitter is in the armed position for normal operations. A red LED indicator light flashes when the ELT is transmitting. A battery pack consisting of two “D” cell lithium batteries mounts to a cover assembly within the transmitter to provide power to the transmitter. The expiration date of the batteries must be indicated on the outside of the

ELT battery case and recorded in the aircraft logs.

Serials w/o Perspective Avionics: The ELT Remote Switch and Control Panel Indicator (RCPI) are located below the circuit breakers on the circuit breaker panel.

Serials w/ Perspective Avionics: The ELT Remote Switch and Control Panel Indicator (RCPI) are located forward of the circuit breakers on the LH side of the center console.

The RCPI provides test and monitoring functions for the transmitter. The panel contains a switch labeled ON-ARM and a red LED indicator light. The ON button is used to test the unit in accordance with the manufacturer's approved service instructions. The red LED indicator light flashes when the

ELT is transmitting. Power to the LED is supplied by the clock bus on the MCU (Serials 1639 thru 1705) or by a 6V lithium battery in the RCPI (Serials 1706 thru 2272).

A warning buzzer is mounted to the ELT shelf. When the ELT is activated, the buzzer “beeps” periodically. This buzzer operates in tandem with the ELT panel indicator and would serve as a redundant indicator. Power to the buzzer is supplied by the ELT batteries.

After setting transmitter switch to ARM position, the ELT automatically enters a self-test mode. The self-test transmits a 406 MHz test coded pulse that monitors certain system functions before shutting off. The test pulse is ignored by any satellite that receives the signal, but the ELT uses this pulse to check output power and frequency. Other parameters of the ELT are checked and a set of error codes is generated if a problem is found. The error codes are indicated by a series of pulses on the transmitter LED, remote control panel indicator LED, and alert buzzer. One pulse indicates that the system is operational and no error conditions were found. For a list of error codes, refer to the Installation and

Maintenance Manual for the ME406 ELT. (Refer to 05-10)

WARNING: ELT batteries must be inspected in accordance with the requirements of the replacement schedule in Chapter 5. The ELT batteries must be replaced upon reaching the date stamped on the batteries, after an inadvertent activation of unknown duration, or whenever the batteries have been in use for one cumulative hour.

For additional information on the Artex ME406 ELT, refer to the Installation and Maintenance Manual for the ME406 ELT. (Refer to 05-10)

Serials 2273 & subs w/ Artex ELT 1000: The transmitter unit is mounted longitudinally in the airplane in order to detect deceleration greater than 2.3 g. The transmitter unit is automatically activated upon sensing a change of velocity along its longitudinal axis exceeding 4 to 5 feet per second, or upon sensing deployment of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Once activated, the ELT transmits

VHF band audio sweeps at 121.5 MHz until battery power is gone. In addition, for the first 24 hours of operation, a 406 MHz signal is transmitted at 50-second intervals. This transmission lasts 440 milliseconds and contains aircraft-specific information and GPS position data provided by the Garmin avionics. The transmitted data is referenced in a database maintained by the national authority responsible for ELT registration to identify the beacon and owner. The transmitter can be removed from the airplane and used as a personal locating device if it is necessary to leave the airplane after an accident.

The main transmitter control switch is labeled ON-ARM/OFF-TEST. The transmitter is in the ARM/OFF position for normal operations. A red LED indicator light flashes when the ELT is transmitting. A battery pack consisting of two "D" cell lithium batteries mounts to a cover assembly within the transmitter to provide power to the transmitter. The expiration date of the batteries must be indicated on the outside of the ELT battery case and recorded in the aircraft logs.

The ELT Remote Switch and Control Panel Indicator (RCPI) are located forward of the circuit breakers on the LH side of the center console.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

A. Emergency Locator Transmitter - Serials 1005 thru 2126 w/ ACK E-01 ELT (See Figure 25-601)

(1) Removal - ELT

(a) Remove access panel CB06. (Refer to 06-00)

(b) Set transmitter control switch to OFF position.

(c) Disconnect remote control panel indicator cable from transmitter.

(d) Disconnect antenna cable from transmitter.

(e) Remove portable antenna from transmitter.

(f) Open quick release straps securing transmitter to mounting tray. Remove transmitter from airplane.

(2) Installation - ELT

WARNING: ELT must be installed with printed arrow on battery case pointing in the direction of flight.

(a) Position transmitter to mounting tray with printed arrow on battery case pointing in direction of flight.

Note: The quick release straps which secure the transmitter to the mounting tray are slightly different sizes. The strap which fits around front of transmitter is marked FRONT. The strap which fits around battery end of transmitter is marked BATTERY.

(b) Close quick release straps securing transmitter to mounting tray.

(c) Position portable antenna to transmitter and secure.

(d) Connect antenna cable to transmitter.

(e) Connect remote control panel indicator cable to transmitter.

(f) Perform Operational Test - ELT.

(Refer to 25-60)

(g) Install access panel CB06. (Refer to 06-00)

(3) Operational Test - ELT

Note: Regulations require that transmitter tests only be done during the first 5 minutes of each hour and must not last for more than 3 audio sweeps (1.5 seconds). If you are at a location where there is an FAA control tower or other monitoring facility, notify the facility before beginning the tests. Never activate the ELT while airborne for any reason.

A low quality AM broadcast receiver should be used to determine if energy is being transmitted from the antenna. When the antenna of the radio (tuning dial on any setting) is held about 6 inches from the activated ELT antenna, the ELT aural tone will be heard on the AM broadcast receiver. This is not a measured check, but it does provide confidence that the antenna is radiating sufficient power to aid search and rescue. The aircraft’s VHF receiver, tuned to 121.5 MHz, may also be used. This receiver, however, is more sensitive and could pick up a weak signal even if the radiating ELT’s antenna is disconnected. Thus it does not check the integrity of the ELT system or provide the same level of confidence as does an AM radio.


(b) Monitor 121.5 Mhz using aircraft COM receiver or portable hand-held receiver.

(c) Turn receiver squelch control all the way down or to OFF position.
