ELT to Navigation Interface


Model Number: 453-6500 and 455-6500 (with installation kit)


The Artex ELT to Nav Interface is designed to be connected between the aircraft's Flight Management Computer (FMC) or GPS receiver and the 406 MHz series of ELTs (G406-4, C406-1, C406-2, C406-1 HM, C406-2 HM) to allow transmission of position data with the distress signal.


The knowledge of the position (to 1 meter) allows Search & Rescue forces to launch an immediate mission to the last known position of the aircraft. The ELT/NAV Interface meets TSO C126 and JTSO-2C126 requirements as a 406 MHz ELT system component. When properly registered, use of this technology can provide the following information to Search & Rescue teams: 1) Type of Aircraft, 2) Owner(s), 3) Emergency Contact(s), 4) Country Code, 5) Aircraft ID or Serial Number of ELT, 6) ELT Manufacturer and 7) Latitude/Longitude Position.



An advanced feature of the Nav Interface is the ability to custom program the ELT to the "24-bit Address" (Mode S Number) assigned to an aircraft. This is extremely useful for fleet operators who change-out ELTs because it eliminates the need to re-program an ELT before it is installed in to a different aircraft.
