Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 1. 570-0049 Revision - INTRODUCTION This manual contains detailed information about the installation and operation of the interfaces 453-0032 and 453-0041 with any Artex Emergency Locator Transmitters. The interfaces do not function with the ELT-200 series. The intent of the interface system is to provide a cost effective means to our customers to retrofit existing ELT installations using 2-wire connection between the ELT and a toggle switch.

Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - 3. INSTALLATION AND WIRING OVERVIEW 3.1 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW The installation below is shown without an ELT.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 3.2 570-0049 Revision - SYSTEM OVERVIEW Due to the range of ELT installation available, this manual does not illustrate each single wiring diagram pertaining to a specific ELT because the wiring is in fact very generic to all Artex beacons. All Artex ELTs follow the same wiring criteria, and have 5 basic electrical lines connecting the toggle switch to the beacon: 1. Light: This pin turns ON the toggle switch LED.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - The D-sub crimp contact 151-0042 accepts 22 to 26 AWG wires and is used with Tyco crimping tool 91525-1 or equivalent. Artex recommends using a shielded cable to prevent signals related to power frequency, audio frequency and electrical transients generated from on-board equipments from interfering with the ELT operation.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 4.2 570-0049 Revision - CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS NOTES: This section is used in conjunction with the ELT and remote switch wiring sections Refer to Tyco CERTI-CRIMP II Straight Action Hand Tools document 408-8547 for further information if required (Tyco web site). 4.2.1 Read the instructions before proceeding to familiarize yourself with the process. 4.2.2 Ensure that the wire intended for use is compatible with the wire size of the contact crimp. 4.2.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - Figure 2: Tyco Crimping Tool Figure 3: Crimp Overview 4.2.11 Hold the contact in this position and squeeze the tool handles together until the insulation anvil starts entry into the insulation crimper (usually two ratchet clicks). Do NOT deform the insulation barrel or wire barrel. 4.2.12 Insert a properly stripped wire through the locator slot and into the wire barrel of the contact until the insulation butts against the locator/insulation stop. 4.2.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - 4.2.20 Install the D-sub connector inside a backshell (151-0006). 4.2.21 Secure the strain relief using the screws provided in the backshell kit. 4.2.22 Install the thumbscrews and close the backshell with the screws. 5. 453-0041 WIRING TO ELT 5.1 INSTRUCTIONS 5.1.1 The mating connector and contacts connecting to the ELT are found in the install kit included in the pack list at the time the beacon is purchased.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - Table 4: ELT Interface 453-0041 Front View Example: The following information highlights the wiring of the ME406 ELT series to the ELT interface 4530041: ME406 SERIES ELT 453-0041 ELT INTERFACE PIN OUT PIN OUT Light 2 6 Reset 1 6 3 Reset 2 13 4 External ON 14 8 Ground 7 7 and 9 Horn power 8 5 Horn ground 7 or aircraft ground 7 DESCRIPTION 5.1.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 570-0049 Revision - 6. 453-0032 WIRING TO 453-0041 6.1 INSTRUCTIONS 6.1.1 The size of the two wires is based on the D-sub crimp contact 151-0042 accepting 22 to 26 gauge wires. 6.1.2 The color of the two communication wires between the interfaces is inconsequential, but each wire must be properly connected to the appropriate contact on the D-sub mating connector. 6.1.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 7. 570-0049 Revision - 453-0032 WIRING TO 140-3349 TOGGLE SWITCH The interface has two connections available on the D-sub connector to connect either aircraft power 14 VDC or 28 VDC. The connections have internal current limiting resistors to protect the built-in LED on the toggle switch, so it is critical to establish the proper connection between the interface, the toggle switch, and the aircraft power. The power supply inside the interface is designed to operate on 6.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 7.2 570-0049 Revision - 140-3349 TOGGLE SWITCH WIRING (14 VDC INSTALLATION) Improperly wiring the aircraft power to the D-sub will irreversibly damage the interface. 7.2.1 Solder the wires from the 453-0032 interface to the toggle switch according to the following information for 14 VDC aircraft power: Table 7: 14 VDC Aircraft Power CONTACT LOCATION Diodes not shown 453-0032 INTERFACE TOGGLE SWITCH CONTACT # DESCRIPTION CONTACT # 1 N/A N/A 2 Ground 9 3 Ext.
Artex Aircraft Supplies, Inc. 7.3 570-0049 Revision - 140-3349 TOGGLE SWITCH WIRING (14 VDC INSTALLATION) Improperly wiring the aircraft power to the D-sub will irreversibly damage the interface. 7.3.1 Solder the wires from the 453-0032 interface to the toggle switch according to the following information for 28 VDC aircraft power: Table 8: 28 VDC Aircraft Power CONTACT LOCATION Diodes not shown 453-0032 INTERFACE TOGGLE SWITCH CONTACT # DESCRIPTION CONTACT # 1 N/A N/A 2 Ground 9 3 Ext.
