1. Introduction
The instructions in this manual provide the information necessary for the initial
installation of KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT ELT system.
2. KANNAD 406 AF-Compact System Presentation
A. System overview
NOTE: for details of approved part number of KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT
system, Refer to Section 10. Compatibility list for KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT
System, page 39.
KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT system is composed of:
1. a transmitter;
2. a mounting bracket;
3. a remote control panel (RCP)(1);
4. a DIN-12 connector or programming dongle to connect the RCP;
5. an approved outside whip or rod antenna.
Thetransmitterandbracketareinstalledintheaircraftnearthetail.Theoutside
antenna is mounted on the fuselage near the tail. The remote control panel(1)
is installed in the cockpit and connected to the ELT with a 2 or 3-wire bundle
(not supplied) according to the type of Remote Control Panel.
Note: (1) The RCP is optional only if the commands and controls of the
ELT are reachable and visible from the pilot seated position.
(RTCA DO-204A):
"Equipment control and indicator installed for in-flight use shall be
readily accessible from the cockpit crew position. The cockpit crew
shall have an unobstructed view of visual indicator when in the nor-
mal seated position."

B. Transmitter and bracket
The ELT must be installed into one of the approved mounting brackets.
It may be installed on its standard mounting bracket or on an Universal
Mounting Bracket to re-use existing drilling for retrofit.
RefertoSection 10. Compatibilitylistfor KANNAD 406AF-COMPACT System,
page 39 for Part Numbers of approved mounting brackets.
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 Panels (RCP)
RefertoSection 10. Compatibilitylistfor KANNAD 406AF-COMPACT System,
page 39 for Part Numbers of approved RCPs.
The RCP must be installed in the cockpit to monitor and control the ELT status.
(1) RC200 / RC200-NVG
The RC200 or RC200 NVG remote control panel is connected to the ELT
via a 3-wire cable equipped with a DIN-12 connector or optional
programming dongle on the ELT side and a D-SUB Female 9 pins
connector on the other side.
Note: the 3-wire cable is not supplied.

(2) RC100 KIT
The RC100 remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 3-wire
cable equipped with a DIN-12 connector or optional programming dongle
on the ELT side and directly connected to the RCP on the other side.
Note: the 3-wire cable is not supplied.

(3) RC102 KIT
The RC102 remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 2-wire
cable equipped with a DIN-12 connector or optional programming dongle
on the ELT side and directly connected to the RCP on the other side. 2
types of front panels are supplied in the kit. The appropriate front panel
should be choosen according to the place available on the aircraft’s
instrument panel.
Note: the 2-wire cable is not supplied.

D. Outside antennas
The outside antenna can be either of whip or rod type according to aircraft
speed.
Connection to the ELT will be carried out with a 50 Ohm coaxial cable (RG58
for example) ended with two male BNC connectors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: KANNAD recommends a cable with radio electric
properties similar or better to those of a RG58 cable. The maximum
permitted attenuation in the coaxial is 1 db at 400 MHz.
Note: the 50 Ohm coaxial cable and the male BNC connectors are not supplied.

3. Registration
A. General
The ELT must be registered prior to installation onboard.
When a 406 MHz ELT is installed in an aircraft, it is imperative that the aircraft
owner register the ELT. Each 406 MHz ELT contains a unique identification
code that is transmitted to the satellite. This helps the “Rescue Coordination
Center” (RCC) determine whether an emergency has actually occurred. The
unique identification permits accessing a data base.
The registration card available from the local registration authority must be
completed and returned to this authority.
The"ProgrammingDatasheet"(DIM00300)mustbe completedandreturned to
your distributor.
Any change of ownership shall also be declared and registered with the local
registration authority and with the distributor.
B. Registration in USA
