ELT CODING PROGRAMMING, ID READER AND MAINTENANCE TEST

Important Note: These tests should be performed only within an RF Screen Room or
Facility providing shielding of RF Emissions.

1. Setup

Use provided cable to connect the ELT (RJ-12 port) to the mini PC (USB port)

2. ELT Coding Programming

2.1 Double-Click “AK451” Icon to run the program. The programming window

appears as below:

Figure 1

Note: If you don’t see the window above, you may try the other USB port.

2.2 Set the ELT main switch to “ARM” position.

2.3 Verify the LED ‘ON’ light illuminates for 4 seconds.

2.4 At the “:>_” prompt, type: cn Password command then press “Enter” to go to

main menu. Must type this command within next 20 seconds after the command
prompt appears.

Note 1: Please contact Ameri-King for Password, via Email or fax or call.
Note 2

: If there is no programming command input in this time window, the ELT will enter the

Self-Test mode, and you cannot program the ELT. In this case, set the ELT switch to “OFF”
position and start again from step 2.2.

2.5 To program ELT: Use command “ 06 “

Important Instructions: Please provide the following information via Email or fax

or call Ameri-King, in order to obtain 22 Hex Digit ID:

• Country

• Protocol required (See Table 4 for List of all available Protocols)

• 24 Bit aircraft address, if applicable

Ameri-King shall then provide 22 Hex Digit ID (Short Message) or 30 Hex Digit ID (Long

Message) accordingly.

• The “06” command syntax :

06 –s (-1/-22/-30) 123456789ABCDEF (0..F)

• To program 22 Hex Digits ID to the ELT: (Short Messages)

At the command prompt type:

06 -22 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Where X..X = 22 HEX Digits ID.) (See Figure 3)

Example 1: How to change Country from U.S.A. (369) to Brazil (710) - Serial
User with the same 24-bit address 403C41 (Short message):

Sample hex code for U.S.A.: 5716E8078820166B65FCD0

571 = U.S.A. country code in hex format
B65FCD = bits 85 to 108. When country code is changed, this 6-digit hex must also be adjusted

to make sure that Encoded BCH1 and Calculated BCH1 are ALWAYS identical.

Our goal is to convert the above hex code to Brazil, Serial User with 24-bit address 403C41.

Step 1:

To change to your desired country, replace 571 with your desired country code from TABLE 1
on page 4, under “Country Code in Hex format (Serial User).”

For example: 4CD for Belgium, 4E4 for France, 571 for U.S.A.

If your desired country is not included in the table, you have to convert your desired country
code to hex format yourself.

Step a: Convert your desired country code (in this example 710) from decimal format to
binary format:

Use the included conversion tool “451 OM-TS-451 Decimal and Binary Conversion
Tool.mht” or go to http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~gurwitz/core5/nav2tool.html
(Internet browser is required) to convert your desired country code (in decimal format) to
binary format

NOTE: You must click on “Try it again!” button before every new conversion.

Below are step-by-step instructions on how to convert your desired country code from
decimal format to binary format:
