• Tests should be conducted between the times of on-the-hour until 5 min-
utes after the hour.
• Notify any nearby control towers.

NOTE
Do not allow the test duration to exceed 15 seconds. The satel-
lite system recognizes 406.025 MHz transmissions in excess of
15 seconds to be a valid distress signal.
• Provide power to an airplane radio and tune it to 121.5 MHz.
• Place the ELT remote switch ON. Wait for at least 3 sweeping tones on the
airplane radio, which will take about 1 second, then return the switch to
ARM.
• The test is successful if the sweeping tones are heard and the transmit
light next to the switch illuminates immediately. If there is a delay in the illu-
mination of the transmit light, the system is not working properly. The
sounding of the alert horn does not predicate a successful ELT test nor is
failure of the alert horn to sound an indication of ELT failure.
• When the ELT remote switch is returned to the ARM position, the transmit
light will stay illuminated for approximately 1 second and then extinguish.
If the microprocessor in the ELT detects a problem, the transmit light will
blink a specific number of times following the 1 second illumination to indi-
cate the following faults:
Listed in order of priority with the highest priority being 1 blink:
1 Blink - Indicates a G-switch loop open failure.
3 Blinks - Indicates a 406.025 MHz transmitter problem.
5 Blinks - Indicates there is no navigation data present. Since the Model
B300 does not provide navigation data to the ELT, this coded signal will
always be present.
7 Blinks - Indicates a battery problem.
The Artex 110-406 will only indicate the fault with the highest priority.

The Artex C406-2 will indicate all faults in order from highest priority to lowest
priority.
If the ELT should be inadvertently activated by the “G” switch, the alert horn will
sound and the transmit light next to the switch will blink. The ELT can be deac-
tivated by momentarily placing the remote switch ON and then back to ARM.

For test procedures on the 406.025 MHz frequency, refer to the Artex Installa-
tion and Operation Manual.
