Product Description

The ARTEX ELT 345 transmits on 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz frequencies and can provide position accuracy with an optional GPS input thanks to the built-in GPS navigational interface. GPS data is embedded from the first emergency transmission and provides Search and Rescue personnel with the aircraft location, within 100 meters, in less than a minute. 

This unit can be activated manually with (optional remote switch or ELT switch) or automatically (the G-switch detects a 2.3G or greater impact). Once activated, the ELT 345 transmits a 406 MHz signal with the beacon's unique registration information and embedded GPS coordinates to the closest search and rescue agency via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system. The beacon also transmits a 121.5 MHz homing signal to assist search and rescue to pinpoint the aircraft's GPS location. 

The ELT 345 provides a quick-and-easy retrofit opportunity with flexible installation options (standard or slim style two-wire remote switch). The ELT utilizes the same RF output using only one coax cable to transmit both 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signals when connected to a 15- or 23-inch whip antenna. The ELT's built-in navigational interface does not require aircraft power to operate—which results in lower installation costs. 

*9600 standard baud rate unless otherwise requested.

This ELT 345 (EDMO# 8100) includes the ELT 345 and 6-year Lithium battery only.

Features

  • Automatic Fixed (AF) Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
  • FAA TSO Approved
  • Designed for a quick and easy first-time or retrofit installation in experimental and general aviation aircraft
  • Single antenna output for emergency transmission on both 406 MHz (Cospas-Sarsat) and 121.5 MHz (local Search & Rescue) frequencies
  • Optional enhanced position accuracy within 100 meters through a built-in GPS interface (NMEA 0183 or RS 232)
  • Hermetically sealed G-Switch for increased reliability
  • Test the ELT and installation with a satellite-based online confirmation test via ARTEX’s proprietary satellite testing service 406Test.com
