SECTION II INSTALLATION AND TEST 2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING EQUIPMENT Handle with extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Visual inspection of the equipment for evidence of damage incurred during shipment. Any claim should be promptly filed with the transportation company. Save the shipping container to substantiate the claim. Retain the container and packaging material for possible future use. 2.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The ELT is designed with the installer in mind.
Note: Installation in a pressurized aircraft constitutes a major modification. Consult the Department of Transportation Regional Officer before proceeding. Note: Aircraft manufacturers may also have guidance on ELT installation; refer to and follow any applicable Type Approval or STC data for your aircraft. If located outside of the US, follow all applicable regulations for your national authority.
Following are the FAA guidelines for mounting a TSO-C91a ELT, per RTCA DO-183 paragraph 3.1.8: 1. “The ELT shall be mounted to primary aircraft load carrying structures such as trusses bullheads, longerons, spars, or floor beams.” 2. “The mounts shall have a maximum static local deflection no greater than 2.5 mm (0.1 in) when a force of 451 Newtons (100lbs) is applied to the mount in the most flexible direction.
Compatible patterns (See Figure 2.1.
Helicopter Installations: The AK-451-(14)(15)(17)(18) may be mounted so that the arrow aligns with the longitudinal axis of the aircraft. If necessary, the ELT may be tilted Nose down up to 10 degrees, (see Figure 1.1). The ELT mount may be rotated about the aircraft center axis, i.e., the ELT can be mounted on the floor, walls or over head, so long as it ‘points’ to the front of the aircraft.

Figure 3: Mounting Tray with Clamp Holder for ELT- (AF)(AP) 32
2.2.2 ANTENNA LOCATION AND INSTALLATION In order to meet the requirements of TSO-C91a and FAR 91.207, an External Antenna must be used. The Portable Antenna (if supplied) with the unit is for use only after the unit has been removed from the aircraft. It is the responsibility of those desiring to install this article on a specific type or class of aircraft to determine that the aircraft installation conditions are within the TSO standards.
Each of the above listed antennas requires a ground plane. On aircraft constructed with non-conductive materials, such as composite or fiberglass, a ground plane must be added. Ideally, the ground plane should extend out from the antenna mounting point at least 24 inches in every direction. Many times this is not possible, but an effective plane can be constructed as follow: A 'doubler' layer of sheet metal, such as aluminum, can be mounted under the aircraft skin.
2.2.2.2 ANTENNA INSTALLATION: Please refer to FAA AC 43.13 for guideline. After determining the Antenna mounting location per paragraph 2.2.2.1, install the Antenna as shown in Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9. 1. Drill a ½” diameter hole or pattern holes in the aircraft structure at the Antenna mounting location. 2. Install the Antenna and determine if the Antenna meets the static load requirements. If not, a Double should be fabricated.
Installation Preparation: 1. Prepare the surface for antenna installations in such a manner to ensure a ground contact of less than 0.003Ω. If bare metal surfaces are needed for surface preparation they should be treated with Alodine® 1200(or similar compound) to eliminate aluminum oxidation. 2. Drill 0.562" hole in aircraft skin. Type of aircraft: The AK 451.

2.2.2.2.2 Rod Antenna Installation: (AK 451.017-2A) The AK 451.017-2A Rod Antenna delivers optimum performance only when installed correctly. To ensure adequate structural strength of the aircraft for associated air loading during flight, use of a backing plate or doubler (not supplied) may be required. Refer to FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-2B for guidance. It is the responsibility of the installation agency to determine the appropriate and adequate antenna installation. The AK 451.
4. Apply a layer of anti-corrosion bonding grease between aircraft skin and bottom of antenna. 5. Apply a small, smooth fillet with RTV sealant around the periphery of the antenna base to seal out moisture. 6. For maximum signal strength, the length of the antenna coax cable to the ELT should be as short as possible (use of the standard 6 foot coax cable is recommended when possible). Figure 7: Rod Antenna AK 451.
Figure 7.1: Rod Antenna AK 451.
2.2.2.2.3 Blade Antenna Installation: (AK 451.017-3A) Installations must be made by qualified personnel, and in accordance with Federal Regulations. The AK 451.017-3A Blade Antenna delivers optimum performance only when installed correctly. To ensure adequate structural strength of the aircraft for associated air loading during flight, use of a backing plate or doublers (not supplied) may be required. Refer to FAA Advisory Circular 43.13-2B for guidance.
Installation: 1. Mounting the Blade antenna using #10-32 SS machine screws and associated hardware and torque to 20 in-lbs. 2. For BNC connector, drill a 0.6250” (5/8”) diameter hole. 3. The most important in installing Blade antenna is the electrical bonding between the base plate antenna and the aircraft skin (metal-to-metal) rather than thru the mounting screws as some other antennas. 4.
Figure 8: Blade Antenna (AK 451.
2.2.2.2.4 Integral Antenna Installation: (AK 451.017-4(S)) The integral Antenna AK 451.017-4(S) is fastened to the ELT-(AP) with Integral Antenna, ELT-(S). This Antenna required no ground plane. The antenna ground plane installation is not required. Type of aircraft: The AK 451.017-4(S) Integral Antenna is designed for installation for any aircraft including fix wing and helicopters. Installation: Installation is not required.

2.2.3 ELT REMOTE UNIT LOCATION AND INSTALLATION The ELT Remote Unit assembly must be mounted in the cockpit where the pilot can easily reach the switches and see the light. Note: The Remote Switch Unit is required by TSO-C126 and TSO C91a, for AK-451(AF)(AP) Configurations. It is not optional. It is strongly recommended that the Remote Unit be located in an area that is part of the pilots normal instrument scan. Mark a cutout for the cockpit panel switch with the dimensions shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10: ELT Remote Switch Installation Figure 10.
Figure 11: Remote Audio Buzzer Monitor P/N 451018 51
Figure 11.1: Buzzer may be fastened directly onto the Remote Switch Unit 2.2.4 Wiring interconnecting harness The wiring cable is 25 feet long, if the cable is too long, looping the wire in order to have shorter wiring, is acceptable. Please contact Ameri-King if you need shorter or longer wiring cables. Use only Ameri-King supplied interconnects wiring cables.
Note: The interconnecting wiring is a straight wiring configuration, i.e. Pin 1 to 1, Pin 2 to 2, Pin 3 to 3, and Pin 4 to 4, Pin 5 to 5. To verify straight wire configuration, look at both Modular plugs RJ-12, side by side (both clips of the plugs must be on the same side). You must see wiring color codes. Yellow/Green/Red/Black/Orange alternatively, on both plugs The wiring configuration is not a telephone application. Telephone application is a cross wire configuration, i.e.
Figure 12.2: Interconnecting Wiring Cable between ELT Remote Unit and Main Unit, Part No.
2.2.5 Audible Monitor Location and Installation: A warning buzzer is required for TSO-C126 approval. The buzzer (P/N 451018) is powered by the ELT system and, therefore, independent of the aircraft power system. When the ELT is activated, the buzzer 'beeps' periodically. The time between pulses lengthen after a predetermined transmitter 'on' time. While the buzzer may be located anywhere on the aircraft, it is recommended that the buzzer be placed in the cockpit, near to the Remote Switch Unit.
2.2.6 WIRING CABLE INSTALLATION After installing the ELT Main Unit, Antenna and Remote Unit in the aircraft, install the Coaxial Cable between the ELT Main Unit and the Antenna. The Cable should not cross any production break and must have a reasonable amount of slack at the ELT Main Unit. This slack is necessary to allow for easy removal of the Coax Cable during maintenance and when needed as a Portable Device.
2.4.0 QUICK OPERATION CHECK Note: Refer to Appendix A.1 for Quick Operation Check in sequence order. 2.4.0.1. ELT Main Switch @ ON position: ELT swept Tone must be heard on the VHF Radio @121.5 MHz. The 2 LEDs flashing (4 sec OFF, 1 second ON), synchronized with the Buzzer sound (4 sec OFF, 1 sec ON). 2.4.0.2. ELT Main Switch @ ARM position: Both LED Lights and Buzzer must illuminate and sound for 4 sec, then extinguish. This is to make sure LED and Buzzer are properly powered.
Detail Operation Check: 2.4.1 Monitor 121.5 MHz using the Aircraft Communication Receiver or a Portable Hand Held Receiver. Important: The Squelch must be turned all the way UP (Max) to hear he sweep tone on most receivers. 2.4.2 Place the Main Switch on the front of the ELT Main Unit in the “ON” position and verify that the Audio Sweep Tone can be heard on the COM Radio. Verify that both the Green ON lights located on the ELT Main Unit and the ELT Remote Unit are flashing.
Activate the ELT using applied force. The direction forward force activation is indicated on the ELT. The AK-451-(AF) (AP) ELT can be activated by using a rapid forward (throwing) motion coupled by a rapid reversing action. Verify that the ELT has been activated by use of the Wattmeter, the Airplane’s VHF Radio Communications Receiver when tuned to 121.5 MHz, or other means (see Note 1). The ELT must then be reset by pressing either the RESET push button located on the ELT main unit or the ELT Remote Unit.
Detail Test Procedure for ELT ID Programming and Self Test: Turn the main switch from the "OFF" position to the "ARM" position. The Buzzer sound and the 2 Green ON lights shall illuminate for 4 seconds, then extinguish. This is to allow coding programming during the next 20 seconds window and self-test for 1 second thereafter. The ELT may be ID coding programming during the aforementioned 20 seconds window period. If no programming happened the ELT will then enter the Self Test Mode for 1 second thereafter.
2.4.6 GPS Position Test (If GPS is connected) (for using TS-451 Computer Test Set or equivalent): Note: Per FCC Regulation, this test should be conducted inside a RF shielded room or an ELT RF shielded box. Dummy 50 ohm Load should be used. Connect the AK-451 with ELT Computer Test Set TS-451. Turn the switch of the ELT to “ON” position. Verify the following setting (See Figure 13.) From the Hyper Terminal window (or equivalent RS-232 window), Click File -> Properties -> Settings tab.
2.4.7 Antenna Check: A low quality AM Broadcast Radio Receiver or Equivalent Test Equipment should be used to determine if energy is being transmitted from the Antenna. When the Antenna of this Radio (tuning dial on any setting) is held about 6 inches from the activated ELT Antenna, the ELT Aural tone will be heard (see note below). The ELT must be reset by pressing either the RESET push button located on the ELT Main unit or the ELT Remote Unit.

2.5.2 ELT REMOTE UNIT BATTERY REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION AND The ELT Remote Unit is designed to be powered by a Duracell DL1/3NB 3 Volt Lithium Batteries. Under normal operating conditions, the Lithium battery must be replaced every five years. If the ELT is activated for an unknown period of time, the lithium battery must be replaced.
2.6 FAA Form 337 For most installations an FAA Form 337 will be required for FAA registration. Additional information regarding the completion of FAA Form 337 can be found in Advisory Circular AC 43.9-1F (Instructions for Completion of FAA Form 337). AC 43-210 (Standardized Procedures for Requesting Field Approval of Data, Major Alterations and Repairs) provides further guidance. This manual constitutes FAA approved data as described in AC 43.
SECTION III OPERATION 3.1 GENERAL This section describes the operation of the ELT, Emergency Locator Transmitter, mo tdel AK-451. The following types are applicable for the model AK-451: a. Automatic Fixed - Fixed ELT (AF): See paragraph 1.2.1 (a) b. Automatic Portable - ELT (AF) (AP) with dual antennas: See paragraph 1.2.1 (b) c. Automatic Portable - ELT (AP): See paragraph 1.2.1 (c) d. Survival-ELT (S): See paragraph 1.2.1 (d) The AK-451 is a "third generation ELT," transmitting on 406.028, 121.
3.2 OPERATION The AK-451 ELT, Emergency Locator Transmitter, is a state of the art Micro controller technology, long lasting, solid state based equipment. It is an extremely reliable, highest standard of quality, designed to meet TSO-C126 and TSO-C91a requirements for critical application. Both ELT main unit and Remote Switch are self-powered by their own internal batteries. Interface with aircraft electrical power system is not required.
WARNING Do not allow test duration to exceed 5-10 seconds. A false alarm may be generated. Any time the ELT is activated, it is transmitting a 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz distress signal. If the ELT operates for approximately 50 seconds, a “live” 406 MHz distress signal is transmitted and is considered valid by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system.
Detailed Operation Check: 3.3.1 Main Switch ON/OFF/ARM Operation: In normal operation, the Main Switch, located on the ELT main unit, must be in the "ARM" position. In the event of a crash, an acceleration activated crash censor (Gswitch) turns the ELT 'on' automatically when the ELT experiences a change in velocity (or deceleration) of 4.5 fps ± 0.5 fps. Activation is also accomplished by means of the cockpit mounted remote control unit or the "ON" switch on the ELT main unit.
Note: The ELT may be ID coding programming during the aforementioned 20 seconds window period. If no programming happened the ELT will then enter the Self Test Mode for 1 second thereafter. Self Test takes 25 sec. Self-test results (after 25 seconds) are: If the self-test is “Passed”: the Green ON light is steadily extinguished, and there’s no buzzer sound. ELT swept Tone must be silent on the 121.5 MHz VHF Radio.
Figure 18: ELT Front Panels-Main Unit and Remote Unit.
3.3.3.1 Monitor 121.5 MHz using the Aircraft Com Receiver or Portable Hand Held Receiver. Turn the Squelch all the way up or ON. 3.3.3.2 Ensure that the main switch on the ELT is on “ARM” position. Push the “ON” button on the Cockpit Remote Switch Unit. Verify that both the Green ON lights, located on the Main Unit and the Cockpit Remote Switch Unit, are flashing. Verify the Buzzer sound periodically. Verify the ELT audio sweep tone can be heard on the Com Receiver.
In the event of an accident, ensure that the External Aircraft Antenna has no damage. Important: If the ELT is accessible after the accident, place the Main Switch in the ON position and monitor it on 121.5 MHz for proper operation if possible. If the Antenna is broken off of the Aircraft, the ELT Unit should be removed and the portable antenna to be used. If the ELT Unit is to remain at the Aircraft site, it should be placed on a large metallic portion of the airframe with its Antenna pointing skyward.
3.3.5 TRANSMITTER FUNTIONAL TEST FOR ELT-(S) ONLY The ELT-(S) should be tested every month. 3.3.5.1 Main Switch ON / OFF / SELF TEST Operation: The ELT-(S) has an "OFF" position. This allows the beacon to be handled or shipped without 'nuisance' activation. Care should be taken when transporting or shipping the ELT-(S) not to move the switch or to allow packing material to become lodged such as to toggle the switch. Main Switch, alternate / alternate / momentary positions: "ON:" Alternate position.
3.3.5.2 Transmitter Self-Test: Turn and hold the main switch, from the "OFF" position to the "SELF TEST" position. The Green ON light shall illuminate for 4 seconds then extinguish. This is to allow coding programming during next 20 seconds window and self-test for 1 second thereafter. The ELT-(S) may be coding programming during the aforementioned 20 seconds window period. If no programming happened the ELT will then enter the Self Test Mode for 1 second thereafter.

3.4 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS): REFERENCES: FAR Part 91.207, Part 43 Appendix D (i). FAR Part 91.207 Paragraph (d) FAR Part 91.407 Refer to Appendix B for Maintenance Check List with Compliance Cross References. PURPOSE: To insure continued reliability of your ELT, it must be inspected for damage and wear which could be caused by age, exposed elements, vibrations, etc. Even the best designed equipment, if not properly maintained and cared for, will eventually fail.
Note 1: This is not a measured check. It only indicates that the G-Switch is working. 3.4.7.2 Antenna Check: A low quality AM Broadcast Radio Receiver or Equivalent Test Equipment should be used to determine if energy is being transmitted from the Antenna. When the Antenna of this Radio (tuning dial on any setting) is held about 6 inches from the activated ELT Antenna, the ELT Aural tone will be heard (see notes 2 and 3).
Note: For the following example, the programming protocol is assumed to be Standard Location Protocol, ELT with C/S type approval number and Serial Number (Long Message.) Other protocols are possible and the exact read-outs of the Computer Test Set will vary. Refer to the applicable operation manual included with the Computer Test Set or contact AMERI-KING for assistance.
Step 5: To read ELT ID: Use command “ 03 “ Step 6: View message, ensure that all applicable information is correct (country code, aircraft ID, etc.). Step 7: The 15 digit ID hex ID (for example "2E28598228FFBFF") should match what is shown on the ELT product label. This is the 15 digit hex ID (Unique Identification Number or "UIN") that is used to register the ELT. 3.4.9 Verification of Registration Note: This verification is not mandatory per FAR 91.
The Ameri-King website also contains information on registering beacons in other countries http://www.Ameri-King.com NOTICE: FOR ELTS THAT HAVE A COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION OTHER THAN THE USA, PLEASE CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY IN THAT COUNTRY FOR GUIDELINES AND DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO ASSURE PROPER REGISTRATION Logbook Entry: Enter the date the test technician's initials and whether the ELT passed or failed into the aircraft's logbook. 3.4.
communication with the ELT. Without the position data being transmitted, it is necessary for the polar orbiting satellites to pass overhead, using Doppler Shift technology to determine position. In a worst case scenario this could be a 3 to 4 hour wait for a polar orbiting satellite to pass over. In addition, the accuracy of the position fix is much better i.e. 22 meters (with GPS/Nav Position data) versus 1 to 2 kilometers for the standard 406.028 MHz system (without GPS/NAV Position data).
II MORROW: • FLYBUDDY, 2001 NMS TRIMBLE NAV INC.: • NAV 1000, NAV 2000, TNL 2100, and TNL3100. The following Trimble systems all require a RS-422 to RS-232 adapter: NAV 3000, TNL 1000, TNL 2000, TNL 2000A, TNL 3000, 2000 APPROACH, 2000 APPROACH PLUS, 2101 APPROACH, 2101 APPROACH PLUS, 2101 I/O APPROACH, 2101 I/O APPROACH PLUS. For other equipment models contact that equipment manufacturer to determine if their equipment supports the Aviation RS-232 format specified above. 3.4.10.
3.4.10.5 GPS Position Test, if equipped (for using TS-451 Computer Test Set or equivalent) : Note: Per FCC Regulation, this test should be conducted inside a RF shielded room or an ELT RF shielded box. Dummy 50 ohm Load should be used. Connect the AK-451 with ELT Computer Test Set TS-451. Turn the switch of the ELT to “ON” position. Verify the following setting (See Figure 20.) From the Hyper Terminal window (or the equivalent RS-232 window), Click File -> Properties -> Settings tab.
Note: When used with ELT's that are programmed for Standard Location 24 bit protocol, the ELT to be program itself to the aircraft's 24 bit address. This feature will allow the ELT to be transferred between aircraft. Re-register the ELT with the Search and Rescue authority is required. This makes maintenance of the ELT a simple matter of replacing the ELT. Note: There is no electronic connection between TCAS or Mode S systems and the ELT, only the ID number is common. 3.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (at least every year) Note: * These tests should be performed only within an RF Screen Room or Facility providing shielding of RF Emissions. * Using of ELT Test set TS-451 or equivalent test equipment is acceptable 3.5.1 Regular Periodic Maintenance Test Perform Periodic Maintenance Test per paragraph 3.4 above, including all Test paragraphs 3.4.1 through 3.4.10. In addition to the Periodic Maintenance requirements prescribed in Paragraph 3.
3.5.2.2 Adjust the reference amplitude to place the peak of the carrier slightly above the top graticule fine. Enable the "fine" amplitude adjustment. Set the carrier peak to exactly the top of the reference line. Read the displayed amplitude. Repeat for the 243.0 MHz harmonic (change the "Center Frequency" to 243.0 MHz. All other settings remain the same). The minimum allowed amplitude on 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz is 20 dBm, after 3 minutes of operation. 406.
3.5.3 Frequency Test / Current Draw Test, Performance Testing: NOTE: Using of ELT Test set TS-451 or equivalent test equipment is acceptable The ELT Transmitter frequency may be measured as follows: 3.5.3.1 Connect the Frequency Counter as shown below: 3.5.3.2 Measure the 121.5 / 243.0 MHz frequency: Select the Notch filter as appropriate, i.e. 243 notch when measuring 121.5 MHz. The ELT should be within 50ppm (± 6.075 KHz) of 121,500,000 Hz. Repeat with the 121.5 MHz Notch Filter.
3.5.3.4 Current draw tests: CAUTION: The following tests involve measurement of the lithium battery pack. Exercise extreme caution to avoid causing a short circuit condition which will blow the fuse in the battery cell. It is recommended that only an experience technician perform these tests. A test harness (P/N TS-451-HN-1) may be ordered from Ameri-King Corp.
3.5.4 AUDIO MODULATION, PERFORMANCE TESTING: Perform the transmitter tests by activating the ELT and listening on 121.5 MHz. The audio swept tone should “sound” like an ELT. 3.5.5 TRANSMITTER FUNCTIONAL TEST: Perform Transmitter Functional Test per paragraph 3.3 above, including all Test paragraphs 3.3.1 through 3.3.5. Note: All ELT “ON” tests should be performed within the first five minutes of the hour. 3.5.
SECTION IV REGISTRATION AND RESPONSBLE USE 4.1 REGISTRATION 4.1.1 Registration Importance It is mandatory that the owner of this 406 MHz ELT registers it with the National Authorities. All 406 MHz ELTs transmit a Unique Identifier Number (UIN) when activated. This UIN is programmed in the ELT based on the country in which the Aircraft operates. ELT Registration provides the Search and Rescue (SAR) forces with emergency contact information, and will speed the launch of a rescue operation.
ELT registration is also available online at: www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov The information provided on the Registration Form is used only for rescue purposes. The Registration Form should be filled out and mailed immediately. Registration can be expedited by faxing the registration form or by completing the form online in the event the ELT is to be placed in immediate use. Typically, registration forms will be entered in the 406 MHz ELT Registration Database within 48 hours of receipt.
4.1.7 Lost ELT’s Inform NOAA immediately at 1-888-212-SAVE (7283), or your national authority, that your ELT has been lost. They will update your ELT registration information with the appropriate information. 4.1.8 Stolen ELT’s Things That You Need To Do: • • Report to your local police department that the ELT has been stolen.
4.2.2 Preventing False Alarms Ensure that your ELT is registered with NOAA or your national authority. This does nothing to reduce false alarm rates, but does have a dramatic effect on the impact of a false alarm. If the ELT is properly registered, the situation will be resolved with a phone call most of the time. It will also help speed rescue in an actual distress. Test your ELT in accordance with the recommendations enclosed in this manual.
