KANNAD 406 AS
Survival Cospas-Sarsat ELT 121.5/243/406MHz
Specialist in pinpointing distresses by satellite and number one in 406 MHz maritime Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and PLB's.
This new generation of ELT complies with the latest regulation and offers all the improvements of the
COSPAS-SARSAT system with the 406 MHz frequency:
- GLOBAL COVERAGE thanks to COSPAS-SARSAT multiple satellite constellation
- PRECISE PINPOINTING (<1NM) due to the unparalleled frequency accuracy of the 406 transmitter
- IDENTIFICATION OF THE AIRCRAFT IN DISTRESS the ELT transmits a unique aircraft identification number
- EFFICIENT PROCESS OF FALSE ALARMS to avoid costly search and rescue operations
The ELT is programmed with either the aircraft tail number, a serial number or the aircraft operator designator. This operation takes only a few seconds with the programming equipment developed by Martec Serpe-Iesm.
It can be installed inside an aircraft on a mounting bracket or in a carry-off bag (both on options).
The mounting bracket option includes a locking pin to avoid accidental activation before ELT removal.
The locking pin can be ordered separately with the carry off version.
The ELT can be fitted with a "Water Switch Sensor" to be activated automatically when in contact with water.
A buzzer and an led indicate activation.
An integrated "self test" checks the main functions of the beacon.
The test result is given by the led flashing sequence.
Battery replacement is only necessary every 6 years thanks to LiMnO2 technology. This represents a considerable improvement over standard generation ELTs with battery replacement necessary every year or every two years.
The KANNAD 406 AS is qualified by the French Civil Aviation in Europe with JTSO-2C91a & JTSO-2C126 and by FAA with TSO-C91a & TSO-C126 applied to "survival" beacons.
The Kannad 406 AS fully complies with JAR-OPS 1-830 regulation.
