SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1. COSPAS-SARSAT System
A. Description
Launched in the early eighties by the four founder countries (Canada, France,
Russia, USA), the COSPAS-SARSAT system provides satellite aid to search
and rescue (SAR) operations for maritime, aeronautical and terrestrial vehicles
anywhere in the world.
It uses distress beacons fitted on mobiles and a constellation of LEO and GEO
satellites which relay the 121.5 / 243 MHz signals and process the 406 MHz
signal to ground stations (LUT) where the beacon positions are determined
(with a precision of 10 NM with 121.5 / 243 signals and less than 2 NM with 406
signals).
Several types of beacons are designed to match the various applications of the
COSPAS-SARSAT system:
• EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) for maritime
applications.
• ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) for aeronautical applications.
• PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) for land expeditions.

INSTALLATION MANUAL OPERATION MANUAL
KANNAD 406 AP-H
B. World coverage with the COSPAS-SARSAT system
The major improvement is the use of the COSPAS-SARSAT system for
processing aeronautical emergencies.
The difference with the 121.5 / 243 MHz is that the 406 MHz transmission
carries digital data which enable the identification of the aircraft in distress and
facilitate SAR operation (type of the aircraft, number of passengers, type of
emergency).
The 406 MHz message is transmitted to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites. This
message is downloaded to one of the 64 ground stations (44 LEOLUTs and 20
GEOLUTS).
The aircraft is located by Doppler effect by the LEO satellites with a precision
better than 2 NM (4 km) at any point of the earth.
C. Environmental improvements of ELTs
The certification of an ELT includes a range of severe mechanical tests:
• resistance to flame;
• impact and crush tests;
• resistance to 100 G and 500 G shocks;
• watertightness;
• antideflagration;
• extreme temperatures (-20°C to 55°C for more than 48 hours).
D. G-Switch (shock detectors)
The shock detectors equipping old automatic ELTs are the cause of a large
number of false alarms. Major work has consisted in studying aircraft crashes
(study made by the “Crash Research Institute”) and evaluating the acceleration
amplitudes involved. As a consequence, G-Switch specifications have been
modified to optimize the accuracy of the crash detection.

2. KANNAD 406 AP-H Presentation
The KANNAD 406 AP-H belongs to the AP type of ELTs which are intended to
be rigdly attached to the aircraft before the crash, but readily removable from
the aircraft after a crash.
The KANNAD 406 AP-H is designed to be installed on helicopters only
.
The KANNAD 406 AP-H is composed of:
1. a transmitter;
2. a mounting bracket;
3. a remote control panel (mandatory if ELT controls are not available from
the pilot’s position, refer to RTCA/DO-183, RTCA/DO-204, EUROCAE
ED-62);
4. an outside antenna;
5. a “Programming Dongle” for pin-programming function (option);
6. CS144 Interface Module (option);
7. an auxiliary antenna (for use as a survival beacon).
The transmitter, bracket, Programming Dongle and CS144 Interface Module
are installed in the aircraft near the tail. The outside antenna is mounted on the
fuselage near the tail. The remote control panel is installed in the cockpit and
connected to the ELT with a 4 or 5 wire bundle.

3. LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS
A. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 AP-H is an ELT designed to be installed on board
helicopters to transmit a distress signal on 3 frequencies:
• 406 MHz (COSPAS-SARSAT frequency) for precise pinpointing and
identification of the aircraft in distress.
• 121.5 and 243 MHz used for homing in the final stages of the rescue
operations.
It is certified as an Automatic Portable (AP) ELT and works with a three
frequency outside antenna when installed on board the aircraft or with a small
whip antenna (auxiliary antenna) when used as a survival ELT.
B. Bracket
The bracket installed near the tail is designed to fix the ELT with a Velcro®
strap. This enables quick removal of the ELT for maintenance or exchange.
C. Remote Control Panel
A remote control panel can be supplied for installation in the cockpit in order to
enable the pilot to monitor and control the ELT status.
The following controls are to be found on the panel:
• 3-position switch (ON, ARMED, RESET&TEST);
• red or amber visual indicator;
• beeper (on certain versions).
The remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 4 or 5-wire cable
equipped with a “Programming Dongle” or a DIN 12 connector on the ELT side
and the connector corresponding to the Remote Control Panel version on the
other side.
D. External antenna
The external antenna, also installed near the tail, can be either rod or blade type
according to aircraft speed.
Connection to the ELT will be carried out with a 50 Ohm coaxial cable (RG58
for example) ended with a BNC connector.
IMPORTANT: Orolia S.A.S. recommends a cable with radio electric
properties similar or better to those of a RG58 cable.

KANNAD 406 AP-H
SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 AP-H can be activated either automatically when the crash
occurs (thanks to a shock sensor) or manually (thanks to a switch on the
transmitter itself or on a Remote Control Panel).
The KANNAD 406 AP-H is designed to transmit on three frequencies (121.5,
243 and 406 MHz). The two basic emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243
MHz) are mainly used for homing in the final stages of the rescue operations.
The 406 MHz frequency is used by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites for precise
pinpointing and identification of the aircraft in distress.
Once activated, the transmitter operates continuously on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz
with an output power of 100 mW on each frequency. The modulation is an audio
frequency sweeping downwards from 1420 Hz to 490 Hz with a repetition rate
of 3 Hz.
During the first 24 hours of operation, a digital message is transmitted on
406.025 MHz every 50 seconds. The output power on 406 MHz is 5 W.
The KANNAD 406 AP-H can transmit two types of messages on 406 MHz:
• 112 bits for a short message (identification only);
• 144 bits for a long message (identification + aircraft position).
The long messages are generated by a separate interface module (called
CS144) connected to the ELT and either NAV equipment of the aircraft by
RS232, RS422 or RS485 link or to an ARINC429 bus.

4. BNC connector for the antenna.
IMPORTANT: The switches are protected against inadvertent operation
by a locking latch. To operate the switches, the lever shall be pulled to
unlock then set to position.
Figure 101: Front Panel
The red visual indicator gives an indication on the working mode of the beacon:
• after the self test: a series of short flashes indicate the self test failed, one
long flash indicates a correct self test;
• in operating mode: periodic flashes during 121.5 / 243 transmission;
• long flash during 406 transmission.
A buzzer gives audio information on the beacon working:
• continuous tone during self test;
• 2 beeps per second during 121.5 / 243 transmission;
• silence during 406 transmission.

3. Working mode information
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING THE ARM/OFF/ON SWITCH, PULL LEVER
TO UNLOCK AND SET TO POSITION.
The KANNAD 406 AP-H has 4 different modes:
•Off.
• Self-test (temporary mode).
• Armed (standby mode to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor
or by the remote control panel).
• On (transmission).
Transmission is effective if the beacon is activated (either manually on the ELT
control panel, remotely by the “ON” switch on the remote control panel or
automatically by the shock sensor).
A. Off
The ELT is off when the switch is in position “OFF”. No part of the ELT is
energized. This mode must only
be selected when the ELT is removed from
the aircraft or parked for a long period or for maintenance.
B. Self-Test
The self-test mode is a temporary mode (max duration 5 sec) in which the ELT
checks the main characteristics of the transmitter (Battery voltage,
Programming) and enables digital communication with a programming and test
equipment.
This mode is selected:
• when switching from “OFF” to “ARM”;
• when switching to “RESET / TEST” on the Remote Control Panel
(provided that the switch of the ELT is in the “ARM” position);
• when switching to “ON” prior to transmission.
The buzzer operates during the self-test procedure.
After about 3 seconds, the test result is displayed on the visual indicator as
follows:
• One long flash indicates valid test.
• A series of short flashes indicates false test result.
The number of flashes indicates the type of failure:
• 3 + 1 = LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE.
• 3 + 2 = LOW TRANSMISSION POWER.
• 3 + 3 = FAULTY VCO LOCKING (FAULTY FREQUENCY).
• 3 + 4 = NO IDENTIFICATION PROGRAMMED.

when the ELT is connected to a programming and test equipment (PR600).
C. Armed
In order to enable activation by the G-Switch or with the Remote Control Panel,
the ELT must be in standby mode with the switch in the “ARM” position
This mode is mandatory during flight.
The ELT should remain in the “ARM”
position all the time except when the ELT is removed from the aircraft or parked
for a long period or for maintenance.
The Remote Control Panel is energized by the ELT when switched to “ARM”.
D. On
This mode is selected:
• manually by switching to position “ON”;
• by switching the Remote Control Panel switch to position “ON” (provided
that the ELT switch is in the “ARM” position);
• when a crash occurs (provided that the ELT switch is in the “ARM”
position).
When this mode is selected, the ELT starts transmission:
• on 121.5 MHz & 243 MHz immediately (continuous transmission);
• on 406 MHz after 50 seconds (406 burst every 50 sec during 24 hours).
The red visual indicator on the ELT (and on the remote control panel if installed)
flashes and the buzzer operates.
In case of accidental activation, the ELT can be reset either by switching it to
“OFF” or by switching to “RESET” on the Remote Control Panel.
The number of 406 MHz bursts effectively transmitted is recorded. This
information is available when the ELT is connected to a programming and test
equipment (PR600).

INSTALLATION MANUAL OPERATION MANUAL
KANNAD 406 AP-H
The energy is provided by a battery pack composed of 3 LiMnO
D cells (See
2
pages 107 & 602 for Kit battery reference).
Lithium cells, lithium batteries and equipment containing such
batteries are subjected to regulations and classified under class 9 as
from 1st of January 2003.
The endurance of the 121.5/243 transmission is close to 100 hours at -20°C
with new batteries.
In the worse conditions possible, a distress is pinpointed 5.5 hours maximum
after the ELT activation and the position is subsequently updated (if necessary)
every 2 hours.
As it is therefore preferable to keep the battery power for 121.5/243 MHz
homing frequency transmission for the rescue operations, the 406 MHz
transmission is deliberately stopped after 24 hours to extend the 121.5/243
transmission for as long as possible.
The transmitter battery expiry date is fixed at 7 years from date of cell
manufacturing (CDOM). If no activation of the ELT occurs during the battery
lifetime, it shall be replaced before or at battery expiry date
(see note below)
.
NOTE: The expiry date takes into account FAR 91-207 (i.e. batteries to be
replaced when 50 percent of their useful life has expired).

INSTALLATION / REMOVAL
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING THE ARM/OFF/ON SWITCH, PULL LEVER
TO UNLOCK AND SET TO POSITION.
1. Registration and Programming
The ELT must be registered prior to installation on board.
The registration card available from the local registration authority
must be completed and returned to this authority.
The “Programming Datasheet” (DIM0300) must be completed and
returned to your distributor.
Any change of ownership shall also be declared and registered with
the local registration authority and with the distributor.
The KANNAD 406 AP-H is fully compatible with the four programming protocols
defined by the COSPAS-SARSAT C/S G005 document:
• Serialised Number.
• Aircraft 24 bit Address (the same as MODE S ATC or TCAS).
• Aircraft Operator Designator + serialised number up to 4096.
• Aircraft Nationality and Registration marking (Tail Number). This
identification consists of up to 7 alphanumeric characters.
Programming of the ELT can be carried out either:
• by Orolia S.A.S. or the distributor (order must include programming
details).
• in the shop with a programming equipment (PR600 and Kannad e-Prog
software).
• on board the aircraft with a programming equipment or programming
dongle.
This operation takes less than 2 minutes and does not need any hardware
operation. The identification is simply downloaded in the ELT when connected
to the programming equipment via the DIN 12 connector.

INSTALLATION MANUAL OPERATION MANUAL
KANNAD 406 AP-H
A. Pin programming option
The KANNAD 406 AP-H offers pin-programming capabilities to facilitate
maintenance operations especially in case of removals and/or replacement.
A special DIN 12 connector with a Serial Memory Module (called “Programming
Dongle”) is connected to the ELT when installed on board. This Programming
Dongle contains the identification information of the aircraft and remains on
board the aircraft. When an unprogrammed ELT is installed and connected to
this Programming Dongle and the “ELT” is switched to “ARM”, it automatically
updates its own memory with the identification data contained in the
Programming Dongle memory.
When the ELT is removed from the aircraft, it keeps its identification data.
For maintenance purposes, it is possible to delete the identification information
of the ELT by connecting a “Maintenance Dongle” to the ELT. Any accidental
transmission with this “maintenance dongle” will not involve SAR operation as
the identification code transmitted is recognised by COSPAS-SARSAT as “not
on board”.
When a maintenance dongle is connected:
• Country code is 227 (France).
• Protocol is Test.
• Identification number is SI + 5 digits (the last 5 digits of CSN number) or
K + 6 digits (the 6 digits of the CSN number).
If the pin programming option is selected by the operator, the following
equipment are required:
• a “Programming Dongle” on each aircraft;
• a “Maintenance Dongle” on each ELT spare.

3. Antenna Installation
The external antenna can be either of whip, rod or blade type according to
aircraft speed. Use only approved antennas.
Connection to the ELT will be carried out with a 50 Ohm coaxial cable (RG58
for example) ended with two male BNC connectors.
A. Antenna Installation Recommendations
(1)FAA Recommendations
Installation must be made by qualified personnel in accordance with FAA
regulations. Duplicating a previous installation may not be acceptable. Methods
for installing antenna are outlined in AC43.13-12, refer to:
FAA - Advisory Circular 43.13-2A (Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and
Practices - Aircraft Alterations), specifically, Chapters 1, 3, 11 and 13.
(2) RTCA DO-204 Requirements for ELT location
“ELT antennas should be located away from other antennas to avoid disruption
of antenna radiation patterns.”
“Idealistically, for the 121.5 MHz ELT antenna, 2.5 meter separation is sufficient
separation from VHF communications and navigation receiving antennas to
minimize unwanted interferences.”
“ELT antennas should be vertically polarized when the aircraft is in the normal
flight attitude.”
“ELT antenna mounting surface should be able to whistand a static load equal
to 100 times the antenna weight applied at the antenna mounting base in all
directions.”
“The antenna should be mounted as close to the respective ELT as applicable.
The proximity of the ELT antenna to any vertically-polarized communications
antenna shall be such as to minimize radio frequency interference and radiation
pattern distorsion of either antenna. Coaxial cable connecting the ELT antenna
installation should not cross the aircraft production breaks and should have
vibrations proof RF connectors on each end. The coaxial connecting the ELT
transmitter to the external Antenna should be secured to the aircraft structure
and when the coaxial cable is installed and the connectors are mated, each end
should be have some slack.”
B. Antenna installation procedure
The antenna must be mounted on the top of the aircraft to assure maximum
visibility of satellites. The upper aft portion of the fuselage should be preferred.
It should be mounted away from projections such as a propeller, tail surfaces,
or the shadow of large antennas. It is the responsibility of the installation
agency to determine the appropriate and adequate antenna installation.

KANNAD 406 AP-H
Locate a position on the fuselage according to Refer to (2) RTCA DO-204
Requirements for ELT location, page 208:
A double plate may be necessary for the antenna to meet rigidity specifications
in Section (2) RTCA DO-204 Requirements for ELT location page 208.
A 9 Kilogram force (20 pound force) applied in all direction should not cause an
appreciable distorsion in the aircraft skin.
Each of the approved antennas requires a ground plane. On fabric-covered
aircraft or aircraft with other types on nonmetallic skins, a ground plane must
be added. This can be accomplished by providing a number of metal foil strips
in a radial position from the antenna base and secured under the fabric or wood
skin of the aircraft. The length of each foil radial should be at least equal to the
antenna length and width at least 1 inch due to the diameter of the antenna. The
ground plane must be connected to the shield of the antenna connector.
Figure 6: Antenna ground plane for non metallic aircraft
According to the antenna to be installed, use the appropriate outline drawings
and drilling masks to determine the hole patern and drill size (Refer to
SCHEMATICS & DIAGRAMS, page 501).
Fabricate a 50 Ohms coaxial cable long enough to reach between the ELT
installation location and the antenna location.
IMPORTANT: The length of the coaxial cable should not exceed 2.7
meters (9 ft) for a standard RG58 or equivalent coaxial cable. If the cable
length exceeds 2.7 meters, a low loss cable of attenuation less than 1
dB@400 MHz must be used (See Important notice, D. External antenna
page 4).
Fit both ends of coaxial cable with a waterproof Male BNC connector (not
supplied), reference RADIALL R141007 or equivalent.
Connect one Male BNC connector to the antenna Female BNC socket.

1. Self-test
A. Periodicity
It is recommended by the manufacturer to test the ELT to detect any possible
failure.
It is recommended to perform a self-test once a month by pilot or maintenance
personnel from the cockpit (Remote Control Panel) but it should not be done
more than once a week.
However, each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should self-tests
be carried out more often than the maximum allowed, the battery life-time might
be shorter than specified.
Do not perform Self-test without the antenna connected.
B. Self-test procedure
• Check that the antenna is correctly connected.
• Switch from position “OFF” to position “ARM” or press “RESET & TEST”
on the Remote Control Panel (ensure that the ELT switch is in the “ARM”
position).
- The buzzer operates during the whole Self-test procedure.
- After a few seconds, the test result is displayed with the visual indicator
as follows:
• One long flash indicates that the system is operational and that no
error conditions were found.
• A series of short flashes
(see note below)
indicates the test has failed.
If self-test fails, contact the distributor as soon as possible.
Unless a waver is granted, flight should be cancelled.
NOTE: The number of flashes gives an indication of the faulty parameter
detected during the self-test.

• check that the Self-Test fails (3+4 flashes);
• if not, connect a maintenance dongle to J1:
- Switch the ELT from OFF to ARM;
- Check that the Self-Test fails (3+4 flashes);
- Remove the maintenance dongle from J1.
• connect the “Programming Dongle” to J1;
• switch the ELT from OFF to ARM:
the buzzer operates during the whole self-test procedure, after a few
seconds the LED displays the result.

4. 406 and 121.5 MHz transmission test
A. ELT-Antenna link
ELT -Antenna link can be checked by testing VSWR.
Orolia S.A.S. recommends the use of SWR3000 VSWR meter manufactured
by PROCOM or IFR 4000 Opt1 manufactured by AEROFLEX.
Refer to manufacturer’s user manual for a VSWR measurement.
B. 406 MHz
This test must be carried out with a COSPAS-SARSAT decoder.
• Perform self-test (Press RESET and TEST on the RCP or switch ELT from
OFF to ARM).
• Check with the COSPAS-SARSAT decoder that, except for the 5th and the
6th digits, the decoded message is identical to the programmed message.
NOTE:The message transmitted during self-test sequence always begins with
FF FE D0 whereas a programmed message begins with FF FE 2F.
Example of message programmed in ELT:
FF FE 2F 53 C3 24 97 38 0B A6 0F D0 F5 20
Example of same message decoded by SARTECH ARG5410:
FF FE D0 53 C3 24 97 38 0B A6 0F D0 F5 20
C. 121.5 MHz
IMPORTANT: this test must only be carried out between H and H+5
minutes. Do not exceed 30 seconds of transmission.
This test must be carried out with a VHF receiver.
• Tune VHF receiver to 121.5 MHz;
• Start transmission:
- either on ELT: ON position;
- or on the RCP: ON position (the ELT shall be in the ARM position);
• Listen to the 121.5 MHz “sweep tone”;
• Stop transmission:
- either on ELT: OFF or ARM position;
- or on the Remote Control Panel: press TEST and RESET (the ELT shall
be in the ARM position).
