The Artex C406-N is an Emergency Helicopter Locator compatible with multiple aircraft models for increased crew and passenger safety. Transmits the location of the helicopter in distress across multiple frequencies. Essential for operators working in remote and harsh environments. The ARTEX C406-N HM ELT System is a three frequency ELT that transmits on 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz and 406 MHz and meets the COSPAS/SARSAT 406 MHz requirements for worldwide satellite coverage. The ELT is used to transmit a standard swept tone signal on the international distress frequencies of 121.5 and 243.0 MHz and digital message on frequency of 406.028 MHz. The digital message includes aircraft ID and aircraft current position data (latitude and longitude). The remote switch panel provides a means for the pilot to manually activate the ELT, turn off accidental transmissions, and visually alert the pilot when the ELT is transmitting. The ELT can be activated (start transmission) automatically by built-in G-switches in case of an emergency. The buzzer is intended to help rescue crews locate the ELT on the aircraft when it is transmitting.
