C406-2
The Artex C406-2 transmits on all 3 emergency frequencies (121.5/243.0 and 406 MHz.) The ELT automatically activates during a crash and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz. It also transmits a 406 MHz encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system, which allows for rapid identification and reduces Search and Rescue response time.
C406-2 HM
The Artex C406-2 HM is an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) that has been built to meet the rigorous requirements of TSO C126, and pass even the toughest safety tests. The C406-2 HM ELT automatically activates during a crash, and transmits a 406 MHz digital message to a worldwide network of satellites, which allows first responders to quickly and accurately identify not only where you are, but who you are as well. These factors help take the ‘search’ out of ‘search and rescue’, and allow local first responders to more easily bring you home.
C406-N
The Artex C406-N is a single output emergency locator transmitter (ELT) that contains the latitude/longitude information from the aircraft navigation system. Following long message protocol, the 406 MHz transmitter turns on and transmits an encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system every 50 seconds for 520 milliseconds. During a crash, the ELT automatically activates and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz.

During a crash, the ELT automatically activates and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz.
Remote Switch, ME406 ACE 455-0023
This remote switch contains a small, 5-year lithium battery that’s designed to power the LED of the remote switch, thus allowing the ELT system to be independent of the aircraft power. The back of the remote switch contains the connector for the already installed and re-used “telephone wire” of the ACK or Ameri-King ELT installation.The remote switch for ME406 ACE fits exactly into the cut-out of the ACK ELT remote switch on an aircraft’s instrument panel. However, for Ameri-King ELT system upgrades, the cut-out needs to be slightly adapted.
2-Wire ELT/RSWT Interface
The 2-Wire Remote Interface is a follow-up to the ME406 ACE ELT. The ME406 ACE emergency locator transmitter is a replacement for current ACK or Ameri-King 121.5 MHz ELTs, and comes complete with a remote switch and adapters to utilize existing wiring. The 2-Wire ELT/RSWT Interface uses just two of the existing wires from the wiring harness to connect the new cockpit remote switch to any of the 406 MHz series of ELTs.
ELT to Nav Interface
When you’re facing an emergency situation, have peace of mind knowing that with the ELT to Nav Interface, search and rescue teams will have the knowledge of your position, within 100 meters. The ELT to Nav Interface is designed to be connected between the aircraft’s Flight Management Computer (FMC) or GPS receiver, and any of the 406 MHz series of ELTs. This allows your position to be transmitted along with your distress signal.
ELT to Nav Interface Boeing
When you’re facing an emergency situation, have peace of mind knowing that with the ELT to Nav-B Interface, search and rescue teams will have the knowledge of your position (within 100 meters). The ELT to Nav-B Interface is designed to be connected between the aircraft’s Flight Management Computer (FMC) or GPS receiver, and the B406-4 (Boeing) ELT. This device receives continuous position updates from the aircraft’s navigation system, and then translates it for use by the ELT. If you should need to activate your ELT, your aircraft’s latitude and longitude will be transmitted to a worldwide network of search and rescue satellites.
DGL-1
With the Artex DGL-1 programming dongle, fleet operators will be able to efficiently transfer ELTs from aircraft to aircraft. The DGL-1 is a perfect match for the operator who wants auto-programming capability, but does not desire the position data function of the Artex ELT/NAV Interface. The DGL-1 comes attached to a top cover, which, along with the dongle, remain with the aircraft. When an ELT is installed, the DGL-1 re-programs the ELT with the aircraft’s 24-bit address. Bottom line: this device greatly simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime.
