With aircraft NAV-Data seamlessly integrated, latitude\/longitude is automatically transmitted every 50 seconds for 24 hours on the 406 MHz distress frequency.\u00a0\u00a0This allows emergency responders to pin-point the exact aircraft location within a few minutes of the beacon being activated.<\/p>\n

The ARTEX ELT 3000 is designed to reduce the size and weight of the ELT system in a simple-to-install package.\u00a0 To simplify installation, the ARTEX ELT 3000 utilizes a single RF output that connects to a tri-band antenna reducing the installation to a single coax cable.\u00a0 The single input antenna and the elimination of an external NAV interface greatly reduces installation costs.<\/p>\n

The ARTEX ELT 3000 is compatible with ARTEX\u2019s exclusive online satellite confirmation testing system, 406Test.com.\u00a0 This exclusive system provides real-time beacon testing results through the same satellites used by Search and Rescue ensuring the ELT system is functioning properly.\u00a0 There is a reason that ARTEX ELTs are the choice of more aircraft manufacturers than any other; they trust ARTEX to build the highest quality products knowing they are used to save lives.<\/p>\n

How the ARTEX ELT 3000 works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ARTEX ELT 3000 can be activated manually (via cockpit remote switch) or automatically (the G-Switch senses a 2.3G or greater impact), and alerts the closest Search and Rescue agency of an emergency.\u00a0 The 406 MHz signal, containing the aircraft 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 The beacon will provide first responders with the exact location to within 100 meters.\u00a0 Finally, the 121.5\/243 MHz homing signals assist Search and Rescue ground forces with finding the location of the emergency.<\/p>\n

Ease of Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ARTEX ELT 3000 provides a quick-and-easy retrofit opportunity with flexible installation options such as a two or five-wire remote switch that does not require any aircraft power.\u00a0 Because it is a single output ELT, the ELT 3000 utilizes the same RF output and only one coax cable to transmit both 406 MHz and 121.5\/243 MHz signals. The built-in navigation interface reduces the need to mount a secondary external interface, greatly reducing the cost of installation.\u00a0 There are two mounting trays available.\u00a0 One allows for the smallest footprint possible while the other matches legacy ARTEX B and C Series ELT installations, providing further reduction of engineering costs.<\/p>\n
