Artex ME406 ELT Features:

  • Immediate search and rescue response
  • Position accuracy within 3 km
  • Transmitter is identified by serial number or aircraft ID
  • Worldwide coverage
  • 5-year battery life LiSO2/ LiMnO2
  • TSO-C126,ETSO-2C126 pending, COSPAS/SARSAT approved
  • Mounting holes compatible with most existing ELT housings
  • Single antenna output for both frequencies.
  • Designed especially for the private pilot.
  • 20 years of ELT design experience results in a breakthrough in design
  • A low cost solution to 406Mhz technology requirements
  • 121.5 and 406 MHz
  • ELT weight: 2 lbs.

The Artex ME-406 is a single output ELT. Two emergency frequencies (121.5 and 406.028 MHz) utilize the same RF output, which requires only one coax cable to connect to the new series of Artex single input antennas. The ELT automatically activates during a crash and transmits the standard swept tone on 121.5 MHz.

Every 50 seconds for 440 milliseconds the 406 MHz transmitter turns on and transmits an encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system. The mounting hardware for the ME-406 Series is compatible with all previous models of Artex 406 MHz, as well as the ELT200 Series, Pointer Model 300 ELT and Narco ELT's.

 ELT, Artex G406-4 Dual Output, Artex
 ADD 
 $1750.00  

The Artex G406-4 Emergency Locator Transmitter 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. The G406-4 also transmits a 406.025 MHz encoded digital message to the Cospas/Sarsat satellite system, which allows for rapid identification and reduces Search and Rescue response time. The G406-4 has been tested to meet the rigorous requirements of TSO C126 including 500 G shock, 1000 pound crush as well as flame and vibration test. The G406-4 is available for use with Artex's low cost whip antennas or a sturdy fiberglass rod antenna. The G406-4 also may be interfaced with the Artex ELT/NAV Interface which enables latitude and longitude data to be transmitted as part of the 406.025 MHz message. The system includes the following: ELT Transmitter, 5-year Lithium Battery Pack, Mounting Bracket, Remote Switch, Coax Cables, 121.5 & 243.0 MHz Whip Antenna, 406.025 MHz whip antenna, Buzzer, Installation Hardware and Installation and Operations Manual. The antenna system is approved for aircraft operating at speeds up to 300 Knots.
