DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1. General

A. This publication provides maintenance instructions with illustrated parts breakdown for the RESCU
406AF Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) System, P/N 1092310, manufactured by Honeywell
International Inc., 3333 Unity Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

B. Major components of the RESCU 406AF Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) System are shown
in Figure 1.

2. Registration Procedures

It is the responsibility of the airline operator to ensure that each 406 MHz ELT is registered
with the appropriate national COSPAS-SARSAT data registry office. This registration ensures
that COSPAS-SARSAT can match a unique 406 MHz identification code to a particular aircraft.

A. Registration of the RESCU 406AF by the airline operator must be completed at the following times:

(1) On delivery of new aircraft from the OEM, with a RESCU 406AF installed.

(2) On initial installation of the RESCU 406AF into an aircraft.

B. Re-registration is required if the unique 406 MHz identification code is changed for a particular
aircraft. This may occur if:

(1) The transmitter unit on an existing/registered RESCU 406AF is being replaced and no
AIM is attached.

(2) The transmitter unit on an existing/registered RESCU 406AF is being replaced and the
AIM is attached but un-coded.

NOTE 1: If an AIM is attached and coded (with/without a Boeing 24-bit switch module),
no re-registration is necessary as the 406 MHz code is not affected by the
replacement of the transmitter unit.

NOTE 2: Appendix D outlines the 406 MHz registration procedure.

3. Description

A. The RESCU 406AF is an Automatic Fixed (AF) type ELT, which is permanently fixed to the aircraft
in a protected location and activates automatically upon impact. The beacon remains attached to
the aircraft after impact. Since the transmitter unit is usually located in the tail of the aircraft, a
remote panel is normally required, located at a position visible to the crew. The transmitter unit
status may be partially monitored and controlled with this remote panel.

B. Once activated, the beacon transmits emergency location signals: bursts of digitally encoded
406 MHz signals received by the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite network for alerting search and rescue
(SAR) teams, and continuous 121.5/243 MHz signals for closer proximity directional tracking.

C. In addition to the transmitter unit, an optional Aircraft Identification Module (AIM) is also available.
The function of this module is to automatically download specific aircraft identification information
to the transmitter unit. This preprogrammed module is co-located with the transmitter unit, but
attaches separately to the aircraft and, when connected to the transmitter unit, automatically
downloads the programmed 406 MHz message into the transmitter unit. Figure 2 shows a system
block diagram of the RESCU 406AF system.

D. In order to program the transmitter unit with a unique digital message, a programming tool referred
to as the Beacon Message Programmer (BMP) is used. This tool consists of a personal computer
(or laptop) with a CD ROM, a BMP programming box, programming cable(s) that interfaces to the
transmitter unit or the AIM, and a PC interface cable which interfaces the BMP programming box
to the PC. The BMP programming box is powered using an ac adapter which plugs directly into a
120 V ac outlet.

E. The BMP may be used to program the transmitter unit or the AIM (if the optional AIM is part of the
system). If there is no optional AIM as part of the system, the BMP is connected directly to the
connector on the back of the transmitter unit using the transmitter unit programming connector. If
the AIM is part of the system, the AIM is programmed by the BMP using the AIM programming
connector. The AIM then automatically programs the transmitter unit when the next self-test is
performed with the AIM attached to the transmitter unit. Figure 3 shows a system block diagram of
the BMP system.

F. For detailed instructions on programming either the transmitter unit or the AIM, refer to the BMP
Programming Manual (Honeywell document No. 6C-519).

A. Transmitter Unit/AIM Functional Description

(1) The transmitter unit detects the occurrence of a crash using an internal G-switch and
automatically transmits three separate output signals at 121.5 MHz, 243 MHz and
406 MHz frequencies. The 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz signals are both amplitude
modulated signals whereas the 406 MHz signal is a 440 ms pulse (occurring once every
50 seconds) on which a coded message is superimposed by phase modulation.

(2) The AIM is an optional module which, when installed and programmed, provides
automated reprogramming of the 406 MHz message in the transmitter unit with any of the
various message protocols. The purpose of the AIM is to allow the replacement of the
transmitter unit without the need to reprogram with aircraft specific data, including aircraft
tail number. The AIM includes a storage device which is used to automatically program the
transmitter unit.

(3) The transmitter unit requires removal and regular maintenance. The AIM, due to its simple
circuitry and the RESCU 406AF self-test, does not need removal or regular maintenance;
aircraft specific programming data therefore remains uniquely with the designated aircraft.

B. Transmitter Unit Features

Some of the main features of the transmitter unit are as follows:

(1) Upon crash, the transmitter unit is automatically activated by an internal G-switch.

(2) Transmits a unique 406 MHz digital message, programmable to any of the following five
approved protocols:

(a) Serialized Aviation User Protocol

(b) Aviation User Protocol

(c) 24-bit Aircraft Address Number

(d) Aircraft Operator Designator Number and Serial Number

(e) Serial Number Protocol.

(3) Transmits two analog signals at frequencies of 121.5 and 243 MHz for close-in homing.

(4) All signals transmitted to external antenna.

(5) Internal lithium battery pack independent of aircraft power of the transmitter unit, the AIM
(if connected) and the Boeing 24-bit switch panel (if connected).

(6) Battery shelf life of five years, including routine self-testing.

(7) Battery replacement may be done without removing the transmitter unit from the aircraft.

(8) Self-test system which validates battery voltage and output power.

(11) EEPROM 406 MHz message storage device programmed by AIM or by programming tool
at factory.

(12) Transmitter unit functionality performed by microcontroller.

(13) Transmitter unit front panel switch is a locking type that ensures there is no inadvertent
activation during transportation or storage.

C. AIM Features

Some of the main features of the AIM are as follows:

(1) Attached to the aircraft separate from the transmitter unit.

(2) Functionality and operating status validated through transmitter unit self-test.

(3) During self-test, downloads aircraft identification code into the transmitter unit and verifies
that the data was transferred properly.

(4) Powered by transmitter unit.

(5) Capable of being programmed with the following protocols:

(a) 24-bit Aircraft Address Number

(b) Aviation User Protocol

(c) Aircraft Operator Designator Number and Serial Number.

(6) Can be programmed with Null Message that will not reprogram the transmitter unit when
AIM is attached to transmitter unit (optional feature).

(7) Capable of interfacing to Boeing 24-bit switch panel.

(8) Does not need removal or regular maintenance.

D. Remote Panel Functional Description

The remote panel provides remote control and visual indication to the flight crew. It also allows
resetting and self-testing of the transmitter unit. The outline of the remote panel is shown in
Figure 804. In addition to interfacing with the transmitter unit and various aircraft systems, it
provides an alternate connection to a remote buzzer.

E. Remote Panel Features

(1) Switch manually activates the transmitter unit or resets the activated transmitter unit to the
ARMED mode.

(2) Initiates/Monitors transmitter unit self-test.

(3) LED indicates both transmit and self-test results.

(4) The required functionality (FAA) from the transmitter unit to remote panel can be provided
by four 24 AWG interconnect wires.

(5) Additional interconnect wires provide the following enhanced functionality:

(a) Alternate buzzer connection points

(b) Master Caution Pulse/Master Caution Steady State to aircraft systems.

H. Remote Audible Alarm Panel

The remote audible alarm panel (buzzer) generates an audible tone of intensity greater than 75 dB
when the transmitter unit has been activated and is in the TRANSMIT mode.

7. Operational/Maintenance Modes

The transmitter unit may operate in any one of four modes: OFF, ARMED, SELF TEST and
TRANSMIT. The ARMED and TRANSMIT modes are the operational modes while the OFF and
SELF TEST modes are the maintenance modes.

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1092310

A. Operational Modes

(1) ARMED Mode

In this mode some of the transmitter unit circuits are powered up so that it can detect an
activation signal from either the G-Switch (automatic activation), the remote panel, or the
transmitter unit panel (activation switch and LED). Upon receiving an activation signal in
the ARMED mode, the transmitter unit will switch to the TRANSMIT mode and begin to
transmit 121.5/243 and 406 MHz signals.

(2) TRANSMIT Mode

(a) In this mode the transmitter unit has been activated and is transmitting 121.5/243
and 406 MHz signals to the antenna.

(b) The first 406 MHz pulse will be transmitted approximately 50 seconds after
activation and then subsequently at 50-second intervals. Each pulse will have the
normal protocol data.

B. Maintenance Modes

(1) OFF Mode

The power from the battery pack to the transmitter unit is completely cut off and none of
the circuits in the transmitter unit are powered up. The transmitter unit is incapable of
sensing a crash or transmitting.

(2) SELF TEST Mode

(a) A momentary 5-second state. After completing the self-test, the unit will
automatically return to the ARMED mode.

(b) In SELF TEST mode, only a single 406 MHz pulse will be transmitted
approximately 3 seconds after activation. This pulse will be coded for the 406
MHz test protocol.

8. Operating Instructions

NOTE: The default setting for the ELT system is for the system to be placed in the ARMED mode. The
system must be placed in this mode at all times with the exception of maintenance checks.

A. To place the system in the ARMED mode, set the switch on the transmitter unit to ARM and the
switch on the remote panel to ARMED.

B. To place the transmitter unit in the OFF mode, set the switch on the transmitter unit to OFF. The
transmitter unit can be placed in this mode only from this panel; that is, it is not possible to perform
this function from the remote panel.

C. The transmitter unit may be manually placed in the TRANSMIT mode by one of two methods.

(1) If the optional remote panel is installed, the first way is to set the switch on the remote
panel to ON, with the switch on the transmitter unit panel in the ARM position.

23-24-01 Page 14

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1092310

(2) The second method is to set the switch on the transmitter unit to Tx. (The position of the
remote panel switch is irrelevant.)

D. The transmitter unit is automatically placed in the TRANSMIT mode by a signal from the G-Switch
when the transmitter unit is in the ARMED mode.

E. There are two ways to deactivate the transmitter after G-switch activation and return the system to
the ARMED mode. They are:

(1) Toggle the switch on the Transmitter from ARM to OFF and back to ARM.

(2) Toggle the switch on the remote panel from ARMED to TEST/RESET, then back to
ARMED.

NOTE: The TEST/RESET is a momentary-position switch, where an internal spring will

automatically return it to the ARMED position.

F. SELF TEST mode is initiated if you either:

(1) Momentarily toggle (for less than 2 seconds) the remote panel switch from ARMED to
TEST/RESET and back to ARMED.

(2) Toggle the transmitter unit switch from OFF to ARM.

9. Self-Test Functionality (Refer to Figure 6)

A. When a self-test has been initiated, the following checks are performed:

NOTE: Consult with the responsible ATC/CAA/SAR for permission prior to performing the self-test.

(1) Transmitter Unit memory is checked.

(2) G-switch is checked to ensure that one has been selected.

(3) RF tests are performed (121.5/243 MHz signals are transmitted and can be manually
verified, 406 MHz signal power is automatically verified).

(4) If AIM is attached, AIM tests are conducted as follows:

(a) If a 24-bit switch block is attached to the AIM, the AIM tests are aborted and the
message in the switch block is verified. If the message is valid then it is
downloaded into the transmitter unit.

(b) If no switch block is attached, the AIM message is verified. Again, if it is a valid
message, the message is downloaded into the transmitter unit.

B. A message is deemed to be valid if:

(1) The country code inside the message is a valid country code.

(2) If verifying an AIM message, the transmitter recalculates the BCH error correcting code
based on the content of the message. The calculated BCH code must be the same as the
BCH code already contained in the AIM. (Note: this check is only for AIM messages, not
for 24-bit switch block messages.)

C. If no AIM is attached to the transmitter unit then one blink of the front-panel LED indicates a
successful self-test. If an un-programmed AIM is attached (encoded in the NULL protocol) then
one blink of the front-panel LED indicates a successful self-test. If a programmed AIM (but no
24-bit switch block) is attached then two blinks indicate a successful self-test. If both an AIM and a
24-bit switch block are attached to the transmitter unit then three blinks indicate a successful
self-test.

NOTE: If an AIM encoded in the NULL protocol is installed, the LED will blink only one time.

D. If the LED on the transmitter unit does not blink the expected number of times, fault isolation can
be carried out to a certain degree based on how many blinks did occur. The first blink indicates
that the transmitter unit tests passed, the second blink indicates the AIM tests passed, and the
third blink indicates that the 24-bit switch block tests passed. If any test fails then the self-test is
aborted. So, for example:

(1) If two blinks are expected but none is displayed, the transmitter unit likely is
malfunctioning.

(2) If three blinks are expected and only one blink is displayed, the AIM is likely faulty.

E. The entire self-test should last approximately four seconds.

F. By initiating the test from the Remote Panel, confirming transmission of the 121.5 MHz signal
through reception by the VHF transceiver, and observing the number of blinks on the LED, the
following pieces of equipment are tested:

• Remote panel

• Remote buzzer

• Transmitter unit

• Remote panel to transmitter unit wiring harness

• AIM module (if present)

• 24-bit switch block (if present)

• Antenna

• Transmitter unit to antenna cabling

G. In effect, the entire RESCU 406AF system can be easily tested within ten seconds by using the
self-test feature.

10. Circuit Description

The transmitter unit is the major component of the ELT system. The unit senses a crash and
automatically generates the 121.5/243 and 406.025 MHz signals. The transmitter unit consists of the
following major components:

• 406 circuit card

• 121.5/243 circuit card

• ACU circuit card

• Interface circuit card

• Power circuit card

• Battery pack

A. 406 Circuit Card

The 406 card generates the 406.025 MHz phase modulated signal. It contains an EEPROM which
stores the data to be used in the transmitted message.

B. 121.5/243 Circuit Card

The 121.5/243.0 card generates both the 121.5 MHz and the 243.0 MHz amplitude-modulated,
swept-frequency signals.

C. ACU Circuit Card

The ACU card combines the three RF output signals from the 406 and 121.5/243 cards and
matches the impedance of each RF output signal to the input impedance of the antenna and
coaxial cable.

D. Interface Circuit Card

The Interface card provides several key functions both internal and external to the transmitter unit
(TU).

(1) Externally, the card provides an interface between the AIM and the TU, between the
remote panel and TU and between the Aircraft and TU.

(2) Internally the interface card provides the control and data lines to the EEPROM on the 406
card and provides the +5 V power to the 406 card. The Interface card also provides an
interface to the power card which uses the Interface card to distribute the required power
to all other cards in the transmitter unit.

E. Power Circuit Card

The power card receives battery power directly from the battery pack and regulates this power to
8.5 V before feeding the 406 card and the Interface card directly. The power card also regulates
the battery power to +5 V and feeds this to the Interface card. The two G-switches and the
associated circuitry for selecting one of the G-switches are also located on the power card.

F. Battery Pack
The battery pack consists of five lithium-manganese-dioxide batteries connected in series to
provide an approximate voltage of 13 – 14 V at the beginning of the battery lifetime.

2. Installed System Test

The installed system tests are used to do tests of the basic functions of the ELT system. These tests
do not give specified levels of performance for one or more of the functions of the ELT but they do
show that the system operates satisfactorily. If the results are unsatisfactory for a unit during one of
these tests, refer to the fault isolation flowcharts (Figures 114 to 116) to isolate the problem.

A. Self-test # 1 (Started from Transmitter Unit)

NOTE: Consult with the responsible ATC/CAA/SAR for permission prior to performing the self-test.

(1) If the optional remote panel is installed, set the switch on the remote panel to ARMED.

(2) Put the switch on the transmitter unit to OFF. Then set this switch to ARM.

(3) The LED on the transmitter unit will blink one time if no AIM is installed, two times if a
transmitter unit and an AIM are installed, or three times if a transmitter unit, an AIM and a
24 bit switch panel are installed. The blink or blinks show that the self-test was successful.
(There must be an interval of approximately 3 – 4 seconds between the time when the
switch is set to ARMED and the LED on the control panel blinks).

NOTE: If an AIM encoded in the NULL protocol is installed, the LED will blink only one time.

(4) Set the switch on the transmitter unit to ARM after the test is completed.

(1) If the optional remote panel is installed, set the switch on the remote panel to ARMED.

(2) Set the switch on the transmitter unit control panel to OFF and make sure that the LED is off.

(3) Set the switch on the transmitter unit to Tx for 5 to 10 seconds and monitor the continuous
pattern of blinks of the LED on the transmitter unit to make sure that the unit sends a
signal.

(4) Set the switch on the transmitter unit to ARM after the test is completed.

C. Self-test # 2 (Started from Remote Panel)

NOTE: Consult with the responsible ATC/CAA/SAR for permission prior to performing the self-test.

(1) Set the switch on the transmitter unit control panel to ARM.

(2) Set the switch on the remote panel to ARMED. Then toggle the switch on the remote
panel from ARMED to TEST/RESET and back to ARMED in less than two seconds to start
a self-test.

(3) Make sure that the self-test was successful. To do this, see that the LED on the remote
panel blinks only one time if no AIM is installed, two times if a transmitter unit and an AIM
are installed, or three times if a transmitter unit, an AIM and a 24 bit switch panel are
installed.

NOTE: If an AIM encoded in the NULL protocol is installed, the LED will blink only one
time.

(4) Set the switch on the remote panel to ARMED after test is completed.

D. Remote Panel, Control Panel Test # 2

NOTE: Consult with the responsible ATC/CAA/SAR for permission prior to performing the
self-test.

4. Acceptance Test Procedures

This is a series of tests that are to be done in a laboratory with the test equipment given in Table 101.
The equipment that follows must be removed from the aircraft for these tests:

• Transmitter Unit

• AIM

• Remote Panel

• Buzzer

A. General Test Requirements

(1) Test Equipment Calibration

(a) All test and measurement equipment used to do this test must be correctly
calibrated and controlled as specified in standard procedures.

(b) When you do tests on the remote panel that the RF Test System is not necessary
for, use the Test System to complete the RF output of the transmitter unit,
because this system has the necessary 50-ohm termination.

(2) Equipment Warm-Up Time

Let all test equipment warm up for a minimum of half an hour before you use it in a test
measurement setup.

(3) RESCU 406AF Power Requirements

(a) Unless specified differently, the nominal input power for the ELT at the battery
terminals is 10.6 V at 2.5 A during 406 MHz transmission and 10.6 V at 120 mA
during 121.5/243 MHz transmission.

(b) To make sure that a minimal amount of battery power is consumed from the
battery pack, disconnect the battery pack from the transmitter unit and use the RF
test system to supply power to the transmitter unit, unless specified differently.
Attach the probes from the test set to the battery connector on the power board
with clips.

(4) Acceptance Criteria

(a) Accept the unit if it shows no deterioration or change in performance of any

components that could in any manner prevent the equipment from meeting

23-24-01 Page 112

May 12/06

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1092310

functional, maintenance and service requirements during service life. The results
of all tests done must be in the ranges specified in the test data sheets included in
this section. If the unit does not meet these criteria, it did not meet the conditions
of the test that was done.

(b) Test limits usually do not include allowance for test equipment tolerances. When
you think test results are unsatisfactory for a unit because of a small deviation
outside the test limit, correct for test equipment tolerances to find a pass or fail
condition.

(5) Ambient Conditions

Unless specified differently, do all tests under the ambient conditions that follow:

(a) Temperature: 25°C ±10°C (77°F ±18°F)

(b) Relative Humidity: less than 90%

(c) Atmospheric Pressure: 762 ±50.8 mm (30 ±2 inches) of Hg

(6) Test Report

6. Fault Isolation

Use the Fault Isolation charts that follow as a troubleshooting guide at the same time as the Installed
System Tests. If the results of one of those tests are unsatisfactory, use the Fault Isolation Flowcharts
(Figure 114 to Figure 116) to isolate the system component that is the problem.

The Fault Isolation is made up of three separate troubleshooting flow charts. Each chart shows one of
three possible configurations of the system:

• Configuration No. 1 – Transmitter Unit and Remote Panel

• Configuration No. 2 – Transmitter Unit, Remote Panel and AIM

• Configuration No. 3 – Transmitter Unit, Remote Panel, AIM and 24 bit switch panel

CLEANING

1. General Cleaning Instructions (Refer to Table 401)

WARNING: USE SOLVENT IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA. AVOID BREATHING FUMES.

AVOID SKIN CONTACT. DO NOT IMMERSE ELECTRONIC PARTS IN
SOLVENT.

The external surfaces of the components of the RESCU 406AF Emergency Locator Transmitter may
be cleaned with a non-conductive stiff bristle brush or a clean cloth. If use of a solvent is necessary,
apply with a gentle manual agitation and wipe with a lint-free cloth. Afterwards, dry off thoroughly with
compressed air.

TABLE 401. CLEANING MATERIALS AND COMPOUNDS

(Equivalent substitutes may be used)

Type Application

Isopropyl Alcohol General cleaning – a comparatively mild, but water-

miscible solvent.
Genesolv 2004* General cleaning where a solvent more astringent
than isopropyl alcohol is required.
* Although Genesolv 2004 is more astringent than isopropyl alcohol (and may therefore be more
effective in stubborn grease-based situations), it is not miscible with water. Therefore a final
cleaning with isopropyl alcohol may be desirable – particularly where moisture contamination is
present.

1. Purpose

A. This section provides a listing of all parts of the LRU(s) – shown on the title page – that can be
disassembled, repaired or replaced, and reassembled. To assist in identification, all listings are
supported with illustrations. These data are presented in the detailed parts list.

2. Assembly Order Indention System

The indention system, used in the DESCRIPTION column of the detailed parts list, shows the
relationship of one part to another. For any particular item, the degree of indention depicts the
relationship of that particular item to its associated next higher assembly, as follows:

1234
END UNIT
. ASSEMBLY
. . DETAIL PARTS FOR ASSEMBLY
. . SUBASSEMBLY
. . ATTACHING PARTS FOR SUBASSEMBLY
. . . DETAIL PARTS FOR SUBASSEMBLY

3. Part Number

A. The part number shown in the PART NUMBER column (detailed parts list/reference designator
index/numerical index) is the part number of the true manufacturer (or authorized supplier) of that
particular item.

B. The identification of the true manufacturer (or authorized supplier) can be determined only from
the vendor code appearing in the DESCRIPTION column of the detailed parts list. See
paragraph 14 of this section for further details. Note that no vendor code entry is made with
respect to standard items (e.g., AN, MS, NAS, Military Standard, etc.), nor with respect to
Honeywell part numbers.

C. The Honeywell part numbering system and LRU identification system are shown in Table 1.

D. For the purposes of spares procurement, any item may be ordered from its applicable true
manufacturer (or authorized supplier), or from Honeywell. Note that, where alternate part numbers
are listed, Honeywell may supply an alternate – not necessarily the one ordered.

4. Effect Code

The EFFECT CODE column of the detailed parts list is used only when more than one LRU (or
assembly/subassembly) is being shown in the same listing. Where applicable, an alpha code (A, B, C,
etc.) is used to show that particular item as being used only on that particular LRU (or assembly/
subassembly). Where no code letter appears in the EFFECT CODE column, that particular item is
used on all of the LRUs (assemblies/subassemblies) covered in that listing. Where applicable, an
explanation of EFFECT CODE appears at the beginning of the listing to which it pertains. Note the
EFFECT CODE is peculiar to its own listing. For example, code letter A in the listing for Figure 1 would
not have the same meaning as code letter A in the listing for Figure 2.

5. Units per Assembly

The UNITS PER ASSY column of the detailed parts list shows the number of units of that particular
item which are used at that particular assembly/subassembly. For bulk items, the letters AR indicate
“as required”. The letters RF indicate that the item is listed for reference purposes. The letters NP
indicate that the item is nonprocurable.

6. Total Required

The TOTAL REQ'D column of the numerical index multiplies the data provided in the UNITS PER

8. Service Bulletin Incorporation

A. Except as indicated, end units, subassemblies and detail parts subject to modification, deletion,
addition or replacement by an issued service bulletin are annotated to show both pre- and post-
service bulletin configuration. The term (PRE SB XXXX) in the DESCRIPTION column designates
the original configuration and the item (POST SB XXXX) identifies end units and parts after the
service bulletin modification has been completed.

B. Subassemblies and detail parts used on end units bearing the pre- or post-service bulletin notation
will not carry the same notation themselves if the effect code(s) assigned to them clearly reflect(s)
their pre- or post-service bulletin status.

C. End units subject to modification by a service bulletin without assignment of a new part number (no
production equivalent of the modified end unit) are not annotated with pre- or post-service bulletin
information.

D. If a subassembly or detail part is modified by a service bulletin without a new part number being
assigned, the original part number is listed with an alpha-variant item number and the term (POST
SB XXXX). The EFFECT CODE remains the same as for the pre-service bulletin configuration.

9. Item Numbering System used in Detailed Parts List

Each breakdown is presented in order of disassembly. At the time of initial preparation, item numbers
are allocated sequentially, starting within each figure at 1, and progressing 10, 20, 30, etc. Thus, errors
of omission can be rectified without having to resort to alpha-variants.

10. Alpha-Variant Item Numbers

A. Alpha-variants A – Z (except I and O) are assigned to existing item numbers when necessary to
show:

• Added items

• Service bulletin modifications

• Configuration differences

• Optional parts

• Product improvement parts (non-service bulletin)

B. Alpha-variant item numbers are not shown on the exploded view when the appearance and
location of the alpha-variant item are the same as those of the basic item.

11. Updating

A. When an item is revised, added or deleted, the letter “R” is shown in the left-hand margin and date
of issue will change.

B. When the entire page is changed for whatever purpose, a revision bar will appear opposite the

APPENDIX A

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. General

A. This appendix provides general installation guidelines for each component of the system.

B. The RESCU 406AF Emergency Locator Transmitter system consists, at a minimum, of a

transmitter unit and an antenna. A full system with all the options consists of a transmitter unit, a
remote panel, an AIM, a Boeing switch panel and an antenna as well as any associated wiring
between components.

C. Dimensional drawings for the transmitter unit, AIM, transmitter unit with AIM, remote panel and the
antenna are shown in Figures 801 to 805 respectively.

D. Locations of the RESCU 406AF Emergency Locator Transmitter system components are shown in
Figure 4.

2. Installation of Transmitter Unit

A. Install the transmitter unit in or near the tail section of the aircraft such that the coaxial connector
on the transmitter unit is within a short distance (e.g., two-metre range) of the coaxial connector on
the base of the antenna.

B. Bolt the transmitter unit firmly to a section of the aircraft that is either solidly attached to or is part of
the main structure of the aircraft.

C. Attach the transmitter unit to the aircraft with an orientation such that the directional arrow on the
outside of the transmitter unit points toward the front of the aircraft and the horizontal axis of the
transmitter unit is within ±10 degrees of the horizontal axis of the aircraft.

D. If no suitable area is available to house the transmitter unit using the standard bolting dimensions
of the transmitter unit, use the mounting plate adapter that corresponds to the particular aircraft on
which the transmitter unit is being installed.

E. When installing the transmitter unit, leave enough space at the end connecting the AIM to the
transmitter unit (if there is an AIM) such that the AIM can comfortably fit in the installation area. In
addition, if a Boeing 24 bit switch panel is installed, leave extra space behind the AIM to allow for
the connector which connects the AIM to the Boeing 24 bit switch panel.

F. Access to the front panel of the transmitter unit (which contains the control switch and indicating
LED) is necessary for periodic testing. Therefore, install the transmitter unit in such a manner that
maintenance personnel have relatively easy access to the front panel.

G. If the ELT system does not include an AIM, register the RESCU 406 AF Hex Identification Code
(recorded on the Hex identification label on the transmitter unit) with the appropriate National
COSPAS/SARSAT office according to the instructions in Appendix D of this manual.

23-24-01 Page A-1

May 12/06

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1092310

H. If the ELT system includes an AIM but not a Boeing 24-Bit switch panel, proceed as follows:

(1) Make sure that the Hex identification code recorded on the AIM is transferred to the Hex
identification label on the transmitter unit.

(2) Register the Hex identification code (transferred to the Hex identification label on the
transmitter unit) with the appropriate National COSPAS/SARSAT office according to the
instructions in Appendix E of this manual.

I. If the ELT system includes both an AIM and a Boeing 24-Bit switch panel, proceed as follows:

(1) Make sure that the spare Hex identification label (included with the AIM) is properly
marked with the Hex code generated by the Boeing Switch Module and affixed to the
transmitter unit.

(2) Register the RESCU 406 AF Hex identification Code (recorded on the Hex Identification
label on the transmitter unit) with the appropriate National COSPAS/SARSAT office
according to the instructions in Appendix E of this manual.

3. Installation of AIM

A. If an optional AIM module is part of the ELT system, the 31 pin connector on the AIM shall be
directly connected to the 31 pin connector on the back of the transmitter unit, which is accessible
by removing the transmitter unit programming connector faceplate.

B. Bolt the AIM to the same supporting structure as the transmitter unit.

4. Installation of Remote Panel

A. Install the remote panel in the cockpit panel of the aircraft and fasten it to the standard rail
configuration, using the quarter turn Dzeus fasteners (already installed on the remote panel) to
lock it firmly in place.

B. Make sure that there is enough space behind the cockpit panel for the connector and associated
wiring at the back of the remote panel.

5. Installation of Antenna

A. Install the antenna on the outside of the aircraft, in the rear section.

B. Make sure that the positioning of the antenna is such that the accompanying transmitter unit can
be firmly secured inside the aircraft at a position within approximately two metres of the antenna.

6. Installation of Remote Audible Alarm Panel (Buzzer)

Bolt the buzzer to the wall in a suitable area such that it may be heard by a member of the
maintenance crew who is outside the aircraft but close to it (e.g., in the avionics bay).

7. Installation of the Boeing 24-Bit Programmable Switch Panel

A. The Boeing 24-Bit Programmable switch panel shall be located close to the AIM Module.

 MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1092310

B. After installation of the Boeing switch panel, mark the spare Hex identification label (that is
supplied with every AIM) with the Hex code generated by the Boeing switch panel and affix it to the
transmitter unit.

C. Register the RESCU 406AF Hex identification code (recorded on the Hex identification label on
the transmitter unit) with the appropriate National COSPAS/SARSAT office according to the
instructions in Appendix E of this manual.

8. Installation of Wiring Between Components

A. Wiring Between the Transmitter Unit and the Antenna

(1) The wiring between the transmitter unit and the antenna shall consist of a fire-retardant,
low-loss coaxial cable (<0.75 dB) that is no longer than two metres.

(2) Connect the coaxial cable in such a manner that it does not rub against a corner or sharp
object during flight as this could cause damage to or completely cut through the cable. In
addition, leave some slack in the cable so that it does not become stressed, creating the
possibility of damage to the cable.

(3) The antenna and transmitter unit shall be mounted in the same aircraft fuselage section so
that during a crash the coaxial cable is not damaged if adjacent sections are torn away
from each other.

B. Wiring Between the Transmitter Unit and the Remote Panel/Aircraft

(1) Table 102 contains a description of the transmitter unit connector pin-outs, and Table 104
contains a description of the remote panel connector pin-outs.

(2) The wiring will depend on the options selected by the airlines. The wiring shall be 24 AWG
or heavier gauge.

C. Wiring between the Remote Panel and the Aircraft

Table 104 contains a description of the remote panel connector pin-outs.

D. Wiring between the AIM and the Optional Boeing 24 Bit Switch Panel

Connect the 24 logical inputs and two grounds from the optional switch panel to the 31 pin
connector (that mates to the connector on the AIM) in the proper pin configuration. Table 103
contains a description of the AIM connector pin-outs.

NOTE: The optional Optional Boeing 24 switch panel consists of a series of 24 mechanical
switches, each of which provides a logical 0 input to the AIM with the switch open circuit
and a logical 1 input to the AIM with a contact closure to ground using the ground provided
by the AIM. The resistance of a contact closure to ground must be less than 10 Ω and the
resistance of an open circuit (switch open) must be at least 100 kΩ. The switch panel is
used to input the COSPAS-SARSAT 24 bit data for the Aircraft Address Number protocol
and requires no power source to operate.

APPENDIX D

REGISTRATION OF THE UNIQUE 406 MHz IDENTIFICATION CODE

1. Registration Procedures

A. The airline operator must notify the applicable COSPAS-SARSAT national registry office to inform
them of the installation or removal of a RESCU 406AF on a particular aircraft.

B. Sample 406 MHz ELT registration forms for USA and Germany are shown in the following pages.
For other national registration forms, please contact the appropriate national COSPAS-SARSAT
registry offices.

C. The RESCU 406AF shall be registered with the national registry office in the country coded into
the “country code” field of the 406 MHz digital message. The country of registration shall also be
indicated on the Transmitter Unit identification label.

D. COSPAS-SARSAT regulations do not require that the “country code” be the same as the country
of aircraft registration or the country in which the airline operator is based. The country code
merely indicates the place where the ELT has been registered.
