- Page 2 2 miles or less. With GPS information, the time to locate the aircraft position is 10 minutes or less, with an accuracy of about 300 feet. The model E-04 ELT may be installed without interfacing it to the aircraft GPS system, however we strongly recommend that when available the GPS data be supplied to the ELT.
- Page 3 In order to meet the requirements of COSPAS/SARSAT TSO C-126b,TSO C-91a, and FAR 91.207 an approved antenna must be used. The antenna supplied with the ELT P/N E-04.8 is a monopole, dual frequency antenna design. It has a recommended operating speed of up to 260 knots.
- Page 4 Also make sure the serrated locking washer is in place. If the aircraft skin at the mounting point is less than .060” thick when installing the P/N E-04.8 whip antenna, a 2” diameter doubler plate must be fabricated using .040” thick 2024, or 7075 T6 aluminum.
- Page 5 SECTION 4 REMOTE CONTROL INSTALLATION IMPORTANT YOU MUST INSTALL A BATTERY IN THE REMOTE. The remote control panel indicator (RCPI) P/N E-04.5 is designed to be powered by a single Duracell PX28L 6 volt Lithium battery, or equivalent. Alkaline batteries may be used such as Eveready A 544, or equivalent.
- Page 6 IMPORTANT: THERE IS NO BATTERY INSTALLED IN THE AUDIO ALERT INDICATOR. Remove the four screws that attach the top cover to the audio alert indicator P/N E-04.7. Install a Duracell CR-2, 3 volt or equivalent battery. Make sure to observe the battery polarity (Fig.
- Page 7 After selecting the desired baud rate, replace the battery pack, and torque the screws to 3-4 in. lbs. The model E-04 ELT is interfaced to the aircraft source of navigation data through a four pin mini din connector. Three of the pins are used for interfacing with the aircraft systems, and the fourth pin is used to verify the ELT is receiving and processing the data properly after installing the ELT.
- Page 8 6.) Solder the connections, seal the back of the jack, and wire solder joints with silicon RTV sealant. (Loctite 59530 or equivalent) (Fig. 12.2) 7.) Apply RTV sealant to the inside of the outer cover to seal the wire where it enters the outer housing.
- Page 9 2.) The RCPI unit is connected to the ELT transmitter via a RJ-11 standard type modular connectors. A 15 foot connecting cable is included with each ELT. To install the cable connect the modular plug on the ELT transmitter into the jack end of the interconnecting cable.

When filling out the registration the hex code identifier may also be found on the front right side of the ELT.
- Page 11 2.) When the main switch of the ELT is moved from the “Off” position to the “Armed” position, it does a self test. This mode is primarily designed to provide a method to bench test the ELT, with the remote control disconnected. (Fig. 17) YOU MUST PERFORM A SELF TEST EVERY THREE MONTHS to verify the ELT is functioning properly.
- Page 12 WITH THE MAIN SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION, install the new sealed battery pack. (P/N E-04.0) The battery pack is designed so the battery can only be installed in the proper orientation. Wet the O-ring with a mild dish soap solution, and shake off the excess solution, or use silicon vacuum grease.
- Page 13 Standard location with operator designator & serial number To reprogram the ELT you must use our programming dongle. (P/N E-04.prg Ver 2.1) the module interfaces to a PC operating Windows XP, Windows 7 Professional via a USB port. The programming software and manual may be downloaded from our web site.

- Page 19 SECTION 19 TROUBLE SHOOTING / MISCELLANEOUS NOTES Battery testing procedure: At an ambient temperature of 25C +/- 5C, remove the battery from the ELT and measure the open circuit voltage. This should be above 11.5 volts. Connect a 15 watt 12 volt automotive bulb across the battery contacts while monitoring the voltage it will initially be below 10 volts after 15-25 seconds it should increase to above 10 volts.
