EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER

Description
The basic ELT system is a standalone system, that means there is no
interface to other A/C system are needed for operation. The basic ELT system
is specified as simple as possible, but as safe as possible too. To ensure the
functionality of the basic functions of the system the ELT transmitter is housed
in a very robust box, which protects the transmitter in case of fire, explosion or
crashes. To ensure the functionality even after a crash the ELTSunit has been
tested with a gshock test at 500g for 4ms and at 100g for 13ms. Besides the
coaxial cable between the ELT transmitter and the antenna it is as short as
possible to ensure the connection in case of a crash, the max. length is 2
meters.

ELT SCHEMATIC
Operation
The ELT is powered from the DC Bus via the SEPDC 1 with 28 VDC and has
an internal battery, which have a life time of 5 years.
When properly installed on the airplane, the ELT will be activated automatically
in a crash. It can also be operated by setting the switch on the ELT to ON or
the remote switch on the ELT control panel to ON.
For normal operation, the switch on the ELT is set to AUTO or OFF and the
switch on the control panel is set to ARMED. The ELT light will be off.
Transmission is done by the normal ELT antenna or via the Backup antenna.
The output and input to/form the SCI (Secured Communication Interface) units
are not jet connected (future connection).

Installation of the ELT

When the programming unit is connected to the ELT, data is automatically
transferred to the ELT to code it with the aircraft information.
Upon completion, verification is made of the validity of parameters transferred
to the ELT.
In case of a failure, the red indicator on the programming unit will flash for 10
seconds.
If verification is successful, the red indicator will illuminate continuously for 10
seconds.

Control
On ground and the ELT powered the ELT light at the maintenance service
panel at the nose gear will illuminate.
For normal operation, set the switch on the ELT to AUTO and the control
panel switch (P5) to ARMED. When the ELT is turned on, it starts a selftest
of the transmitter. The battery voltage test is under maximum load. The ELT
tone and front panel LED start immediately. A short interruption occurs at 50
seconds. At 100 seconds, the tone and light begin to cycle on and off at a 1 Hz
rate.
At 150 seconds, the ELT begins 406 MHZ transmissions each 50 seconds. The
LED and tone alternate 1 second on and 1.5 seconds off.
The LED on the front panel of the ELT will be continuously on for more than 10
seconds if the selftest is passed.
A self test of the ELT and programming unit is activated when the control panel
switch is in the RESET position for more than 1 second.
If the ELT is accidentally activated, reset it by setting the switch on the ELT to
ON and immediately back to OFF then to AUTO, or by setting the control
panel switch momentarily to RESET and allowing it to return to the ARMED
position.
When the ELT is operated on ground the ELT will provide an aural warning
signal to the warning horn at the nose gear.

ELT TECHTEST 50012Y

EMERG. LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT) SYSTEM:
Background
Due to JAR OPS 1.820 and JAR OPS 1.830 all aircraft shall be equipped with
an ELT which is capable of transmitting on the frequencies 406 MHz and 121.5
MHz simultaneously. Therefore it was necessary to replace the old ELT
Rescue 99.

NOTE:

THE ELT IS NOT INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN THE

AIRCRAFTS WITHOUT REPROGRAMMING!
REPROGRAMMING WILL BE DONE BY THE WORKSHOP.
FOR DLH IT IS (LHT HAM WG 234) WITH SPECIAL TOOLING.

Location
The new ELT Techtest 50012Y (HR Smith) is installed inside of the
emergency equipment overhead bins, forward of door 2L/H and door 5L/H
(STA 760 and STA 2200).

NOTE:

THE ELT WILL BE STOWED AND SECURED IN A BRACKET WITH

A SPECIAL TAMPER PROOF SEAL.

Technical Details
The ELT size is 150 x 87.5 x 37.5 mm and weights around 600 gm.
When activated the beacon transmits on 406,025 MHz to the satelite and
121.5/ 243,0 MHz to mark its position for rescue.
The satelite cover extends to all parts of the world but the time between passes
over any point on the globe differs. It can pinpoint the A/C location within 5
square kilometer. The 50012Y beacon continues to transmit 406,025 MHz to
the satelite for 24 hours before shutting down.
The 121,5 MHz and 243,0 MHz, which is used for location, is switched on at
beacon activation and continues through until the battery is discharged (at least
48 hours).
The ELT can be switched on by pulling the lanyard, or place the activation
switch to the ON position.
A dual frequency (121,5 and 243,0 MHz) transceiver facility is provided and
transmissions by the survivor can be initiated by pressing the Press to talk.
All necessary maintenance to be done on this ELT will be done on wing.
The ELT is COSPASSARSAT and FAA TSO C91A and C126A approved as a
type S survival ELT
NOTE:

Operation and BITE

The ELT has a three position switch on the left hand side.
The positions are:
Test : ELT performs a BITE, and the result will be indicated by the
beacon active LED
OFF: ELT is switched OFF
ON: ELT is activated and transmits. The ELT can also be activated by
pulling the lanyard
Bite results indicated by the LED are
steady ON: ELT is operational
fast flashing:
Battery failure
slow flash (flash with pause): Internal fault

THE ELT IS NOT REPAIRABLE. IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE TO

CHANGE THE BATTERY AND TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA IF
NECESSARY.

Inspection / Check of Battery

Check the ELT for proper attachment and unbroken seal.
Check expiry date of ELT battery through the cutout in the bottom of the
bracket
(The remaining time until next check according to CMS must be more
than 3 month).
NOTE:

IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE

THROUGH THE CUTOUT (A MIRROR MIGHT BE NECESSARY
FOR THAT INSPECTION) REMOVE THE ELT FROM THE
BRACKET TO GET ACCESS TO THE IDENTIFICATION LABLE.
After this inspection install the ELT in the bracket as described in the
Techtest Operating Manual.

NOTE:

USE ONLY A TAMPER PROOF SEAL TO SECURE THE ELT IN

THE BRACKET.
To make this inspection easier for the next time install a placard with the
expiration date and your ID stamp on it.

FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY!

Replacement of Battery
Remove the tamper proof seal.
Release the strap which secures the ELT in the bracket.
Remove the ELT from the bracket.
Replace ELT Battery
For battery replacement refer to the Techtest Operating Manual.
LHT only: Send the completed data sheet (SPM 256601 Page 5) to
HAM WG234. WG234 makes an entry in the Lebenslaufkarte with the
new battery expiry date.
After battery replacement perform ELT selftest according Techtest
Operating Manual.
Install the ELT into the bracket. Fasten the strap which secures the ELT
in the bracket.
Install a new tamper proof seal.
NOTE:

IF THE SELF TEST FAILS AND THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY THE

BATTERY THE ELT MUST BE REPLACED.
