The ARTEX ELT 345 can be activated manually (via cockpit remote switch or ELT switch) or automatically (the G-Switch senses a 2.3G or greater impact), and transmits a unique digital signal on the 406 MHz distress frequency alerting the closest Search and Rescue agency of your emergency.\u00a0 The 406 MHz signal, containing your GPS coordinates, is transmitted to the Cospas-Sarsat satellites and relayed to the Mission Control Center where it is immediately routed to the nearest Search and Rescue agency.\u00a0 Your beacon\u2019s registration will tell first responders who<\/u><\/b> you are and the beacon itself lets them know where<\/u><\/b> you are to within 100 meters.\u00a0 Finally, the local 121.5 MHz homing signal assists Search and Rescue agencies to identify your exact location.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ease of Installation<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ARTEX ELT 345 provides a quick-and-easy retrofit opportunity with flexible installation options such as our standard or slim style two-wire remote switch that does not require any aircraft power.\u00a0 ELT 345 utilizes the same RF output using only one coax cable to transmit both 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signals through either our 15- or 23-inch whip antennas. \u00a0The built-in navigational interface does not require aircraft power to operate which greatly reduces the cost of installation.\u00a0 The stainless-steel mounting bracket has a multiple-hole pattern configuration that makes the replacement of legacy ARTEX ELTs or ACK, Kannad and AmeriKing ELTs quick and easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

ELT 345 Kits<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are now three comprehensive kit options available that provide users with access to the ELT 345, the world\u2019s most popular ELT. \u00a0Each option features a 2-wire remote switch, coax cable, antenna, and ELT installation kit. \u00a0The primary difference between the kits pertains to the antenna and\/or switch offering. \u00a0Our most economical option (part number 8102), comes with our standard black whip antenna and standard 2-wire remote switch. \u00a0The other two kits include a lower profile antenna option featuring a black whip antenna designed for installations where a shorter form factor is required. \u00a0Lastly, while the 8102 and 8107 kits include the standard 2-wire remote switch, the 8108 kit features a new slim profile switch.\u00a0 The new slim switch is perfect for ACK and Ameri-King ELT retrofits as it requires no modification to the switch panel cut-out when replacing a legacy phone cord style switch. \u00a0As an added benefit, the slim switch requires no batteries and operates using 2 wire connectivity for dependable cockpit panel operation.<\/span><\/p>\n
