The ME406 helicopter model is a single output ELT that uses the same RF output and only one coax cable to transmit a 406 MHz emergency signal to the Cospas-Sarsat satellites and a local 121.5 homing signal. In the event of a crash, the ELT automatically activates and transmits a continuous swept tone of 121.5 MHz while the 406 MHz transmitter sends an encoded 5-watt signal to the Cospas-Sarsat Satellites every 50 seconds for 440 milliseconds to alert search and rescue.
  • Automatic fixed emergency locator transmitter for helicopters
  • Multiple axis G-switch for helicopters fixed wing and helicopter applications
  • Single antenna output for both 121.5 and 406 MHz frequencies
  • Worldwide coverage
  • 6-year battery life
  • Mounting hardware for the ME406 is compatible with all previous models of the Artex 406 MHz ELT products, as well as the ELT 200 series, Ameri-King, ACK, pointer model 3000 ELT, and Narco ELTs
