2. GENERAL OPERATION (Figure 3-1)

When the ELT "MAN / RESET- OFF-AUTO" switch is on "OFF" position, the ELT does not
operate.
In "MAN / RESET" position, the +14V voltage is sent to 406, 121.5 / 243 MHz, encoding board
by the master board.
The encoding board sends the COSPAS-SARSAT message to the 406 MHz transmitter board
with 50 sec ± 2.5 repetition rate in conformity with COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system data.
Between 2 transmissions on 406Mhz channel, the ELT transmits on 121.5/243Mhz frequencies.
The "Xmit Alert" red warning light is on during transmission.
In "AUTO" position, the adapter board supplies the encoding board to perform the selftest
sequence.
The selftest result is indicated by the red warning light on the front panel.
- light comes on during two seconds : result OK
- light flashes: faulty result.
Then the ELT waits for a crash detection (in conformity with ED62 or DO183/DO204 curve) to
transmit. When a shock occurs and has the characteristics given in the ED62 or DO204 curves,
the ELT will transmit same as the manual operation.
3. DETAILED OPERATION
The ELT 96 and ELT 97 incorporate circuits that perform the functions illustrated in the block
diagram shown in Figure 2
NOTE : Both transmitter units ELT96 and ELT97 are functionally the same models, and both
G-switches are similar as regards hardware.
3.A Sensor board :

It is designed to :
a) Pick up the deceleration signal applied to the beacon in conformity with ED62
(EUROCAE Standard) for ELT 96 or DO183 (RTCA Standard) for ELT97.
b) Filter this signal to eliminate the undesirable frequencies.
c) Amplify this signal to a level corresponding to 200mV/g.
3.B G-Switch board :

It is designed to :
a) Generate the 5 V voltage required to operate the electronics from the 7.2 V voltage
of batteries.
b) Process the deceleration signal and determine the beacon's switch over to
transmission if the impact is greater than a certain value, in conformity with
EUROCAE standards (ELT96) or RTCA standards (ELT97).
c) De-activate the transmission on request.
d) Activate the transmission when this is required in an selftest procedure.
3.C + 7.2V crash sensor battery pack

It is a pack of 4 lithium batteries supplying a 7.2 V voltage which powers the electronic
boards continuously over a minimum period of 5 years ("AUTO" position), after batteries
cells manufacturing.

transmission is activated, after the service life period. The service life is 5 years
maximum after batteries cells manufacturing.
3.E Master board

It is designed to :
a) Link different boards of the beacon
b) Supply through regulator +5V power for logical parts of transmitter and encoding
boards,
c) Transmit the radio signal from radio card to the font face
3.F Encoding board

This board equipped with a 68HC711E9 type 8-bit micro controller has the following
functions :
1) Message and control
1. Generates COSPAS-SARSAT message (country code, registration, etc...) to
the 406 MHz transmitter.
2. Generates command signals to 406 MHz and 121.5 - 243 MHz transmitter

TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
1. GENERAL
This section provides information to check operation of the different parts of the beacon and
identify the defective module in order to replace it as soon as possible.
2. TESTING
2.A Introduction
Before starting troubleshooting it is necessary to follow the testing procedures to check the
correct operation of the beacon.
The beacon test is performed with a spectrum analyser.
NOTE : An additional test performed with an Cospas-Sarsat beacon test bench

allows to check coding, frequency stability and sweep modulation.
2.B Tools and consumable materials
- An Cospas-Sarsat beacon test bench
- A remote control simulation module
- A radio frequency spectrum analyzer
- A digital multimeter
- A DC power unit 28 V, 1A
- An attenuator 10 W / 40 dB
During this procedure, you should also make the checks described in the corresponding
chapter ("CHECKS").
After a correct verification, write permanently the date and the result of the test on the
beacon, on the exterior, and the expiring date of the batteries.
2.C Electrical connections

2.D Batteries test procedure, batteries depassivation

To test the batteries connect the batteries like in the following figure :
red wire
2A dc
8.9Ω ELT90A2560 102 000

25W V batteries pack
20Vdc
black wire
1. Disconnect the batteries from the ELT
2. Connect the batteries to the voltmeter, amperemeter and charge
3. Mesure the voltage with batteries are in open circuit (0mA). The voltage should
be greater than 14V.
4. Make the same measurement with batteries connected to the 8.9Ω ±5% charge
(25W power rating). The current flowing out of the batteries should be about
1200mA, and the voltage greater than 12V (if not, replace the batteries pack).
5. WARNING Do not connect the batteries to the charge more than 1min, as it
reduced the ELT operating life ! Stop the batteries discharge once the
voltage in charge is greater than 13.5V, as it indicates that the batteries
passivation has been removed.
6. After disconnect the batteries from the charge, measure the voltage. It shall be
greater than 14V, else replace the batteries pack.
7. Reconnect the batteries to the ELT
To depassivate the batteries (perform depassivation only ONCE), connect the batteries
up to 6min instead 1min in the previous procedure, then :
8. Place the batteries at 10°C maximum during at le ast 24h.
2.E Equipment test procedure

1) The front panel switch S2 should be "OFF".
2) Connect the antenna output to the attenuator then to the spectrum analyser.
3) Open the distress beacon as described in this manual, and separated the upper seal
from the lower’s one
4) To make a performance test, put an ampere meter between the 2 connectors between
the transmitter batteries and the electronics cards (terminal strip 50 on the figure 303).
Connect the ampere meter on the pin with the red wire.
5) Reconnect the g-switch assembly to the lower housing. Replace it on the lower housing,
without screwing it. Connect the ELT as Figure 102.
6) Set the front panel switch S2 to "MAN / RESET".
7) The front panel "Xmit Alert" red warning light DS1 should come on.
8) Allow the beacon to transmit for 3 minutes before taking into account the test result.
9) Check that the power transmitted on the 406 MHz is between 35dBm and 39dBm.
10) Check that the current flowing out the batteries is not greater than 2100mA (usually
1300mA).
11) Check that the message is retransmitted every 50 sec ± 2.5sec .

3. ELT system periodic inspection
Regulations as FAA FAR 91.207 and Transport Canada CAR Part V Standard 571 Appendix G
require for annual ELT inspection.
These are some information to check the ELT installation according these regulations. All
checks have to be done according the applicable regulations in your country.
3.A Proper installation

1) Verify that the ELT is installed as required in the installation manual,
2) Mounting trays, fasteners, and connectors should be secure,
3) Cables shall be exempt from cuts, abrasion and corrosion (disconnect connectors to
check corrosion inside them),
4) Check batteries validity date,
5) Check ELT registration and programming regarding the aircraft in which it is installed.
3.B Battery corrosion

Open the ELT as described in this CMM and check for corrosion on batteries (or ELT). Then
close the ELT properly.
3.C Operation of controls and crash sensor

Testing of any ELT shall be conducted in a screen room or metal enclosure, or, the transmitter
power output shall be connected to a 50Ω load to minimize radiation.
1) Switch OFF the ELT,

2) Disconnect the wiring (coaxial and SUBD). Place a dummy load on the ELT BNC
connector,
3) Remove the ELT front its mounting plate,
4) Set the ELT to “armed mode”, wait for the end of the selftest (about 10s),
5) Then, to test the g-switch, drop the ELT vertically, front face below, from an height of
about 15cm, on foam of about 20kg/m3 density and 10cm width,
6) After this shock, the ELT should have activated.
7) Perform a reset of the ELT, then switch it to OFF.
If such test method is not acceptable, the ELT must be sent to our repair stations for test with
the calibrated shock bench.
3.D Radio performance test

Note : The radio performance test is not required in FAR 91.207.
The radio performance test should be done in a laboratory, with the ELT connected as shown
below.
Testing of any ELT shall be conducted in a screen room or metal enclosure, or, the transmitter
power output shall be connected to a 50Ω load to minimize radiation.
The ELT have to be opened as described in this CMM.

The only difference between ELT96 and ELT97 is the g-switch crash sensor setting. It is
possible to change an ELT96 to an ELT97 (or reverse) by replacing the g-switch unit and
updating the placards.
Be sure to use the correct g-switch and placards part numbers when doing this operation (check
the “applicability” column of the illustrated part list). The ELT serial number does not change
during this operation.
You must issue a new "Aeronautical 406Mhz Emergency Locator Transmitter Sheet" (page 706)
after changing the type of this ELT. It must be clearly written in the comments the type of
modification (ELT96 to ELT97 or ELT97 to ELT96).
Refers to the chapters “Dissassembly”, “Checks” and “Assembly and storage” of this CMM for
the detailed steps.
1) Ask for the correct g-switch, characteristics placard and control placard (ELT96 type or
ELT97 type)
2) For ELT97, ask for a “Industrie Canada” placard (item 1 330)
3) Remove the previous g-switch
4) Mount the new g-switch
5) Test the ELT
6) Fill the correct informations in a new “characteristics placard” (s/n, modification index)
7) Replace the “characteristics placard” on the upper housing by the new one.
8) Update the “validity placard” as necessary
9) For ELT97 : place the "Industrie Canada” placard on the upper housing as show in the
IPL figure 1
10) For ELT96 : remove the “Industrie Canada” placard from the upper housing
11) Fill a new “control placard”, replace the older one
12) Fill and send to Air Precision an “Aeronautical 406Mhz ELT sheet” to update our ELT

INTRODUCTION
1. GENERAL
The illustrated Parts Catalog purpose is to identify all the equipment components which can be
replaced at maintenance 2nd level.
The illustrated Parts Catalog comprises the following sections :
- Introduction
- Alphanumeric Index
- Illustrated parts list
2. USE OF ILLUSTRATED PARTS LIST

The Illustrated Parts list gives the list and the illustrations of the parts which form the considered
assembly.
The various columns of a parts list page are in the following order :
1st column : figure and item numbers (ITEM)
2nd column : part number
3rd column : description (part name)
4th column : effectivity
5th column : quantity per next higher assembly
6th column : observations
2.A Figure and item numbers (ITEM)

An item number is given to each assy, sub-assy and part which has a part number and is
mentioned in the list.
The figure number is indicated on the first line, at the top of each page.
The assemblies, sub-assemblies and parts listed but not shown on the figure are identified with
a dash (-) placed before the item number of these assemblies, sub-assemblies or parts.
A letter after the item number identifies a variant of this part.
2.B Part number

A part number is given to each assembly, sub-assembly and detailed parts (either shown on the
figure or not).
2.C Description
This column is inscribed with item names and highlights the relationship that may exist between
several components.
The names of assembly components are offset by one indenture to the right with respect to the
top assembly considered.

The first attaching part is always preceded by "PIECES DE FIXATION /ATTACHING PARTS"
and the last attaching part is always followed by "* * *", at each assembly or sub-assembly.
2.D Effectivity
Codes of this column allow thanks to a list at the end of the cross-reference table to know the
validity of each part.
Items with no effectivity codes have the same validity than the cross-reference ; this validity is
shown at the L.H. lower corner of the page.
2.E Quantity
This column is inscribed with the quantity of parts necessary per next higher assembly.
Where the same assembly or part appears in several figures, the quantity is given in the first
item line only; the next time it appears, the mention RF (For Reference/pour mémoire) is
entered.
The mention RF also applies to a set of parts (assembly or installation) that does not form a
recognized assembly.
Where the item quantity drawn up as required (E.g : section cut to length, etc…), the quantity
indication is replaced by the mention AR (As Required / à la demande).
2.F Observations
This column allows to define the availability of a spare-part, see paragraph 4.

2.H SPARE PARTS
2.H.1) Classification
A spare part can be classified into three categories :
- procurable parts,
- parts procurable on request (OR),
- not procurable parts (NP).
2.H.2) Definition of "Procurable part"

A spare part is considered as being procurable when :
- it is constituted in an assembly or a sub-assembly,
- it is a simple element which can be easily installed or removed without any special
manufacturing mount or support,
- its replacement does not change aircraft airworthiness and/or its replacement procedure
is described in the Maintenance Manual, except for the parts the procedure of which
may be carried out by respecting the state of the art.
2.H.3) Definition of "Procurable part on request" (OR)

The parts procurable on request (OR) are :
- parts assembled by riveting (ribs, skins...),
- detail parts of some equipment or accessories,
- any part the replacement of which requires a rework proposal or a special ability,
- any part the replacement of which affects the fleet technical follow-up.
2.H.4) Definition of "Not procurable part" (NP)

The not procurable parts are :
- cancelled parts,
- parts validated after stock depletion or replaced by a procurable part number,
- parts assembled by welding.
The not procurable classified parts may be supplied at the level of the upper functional
assembly, except for cancelled parts, or with a rework proposal, which has been analysed on
request by the manufacturer.
