INTRODUCTION
The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT has been designed to satisfy the
requirements of general aviation pilots, built on the long experience of
KANNAD ELTs in 406 MHz technology in aviation, maritime and land distress
beacons.
The instructions in this manual provide the information necessary for the
installation and the operation of KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT ELT.
Servicing instructions of ELT are normally performed by shop personnel and
detailed Section SERVICING, page 601.
For more detailed instructions and identification parts list, refer to CMM 25-63-
03.
Servicing and maintenance instructions of RC200 RCP are detailed in ACMM
25-63-21.

Work carried out under the warranty shall not have the effect of extending the
warranty period.
In respect of this warranty, after a defect has been noted by our services, the
sole obligation incumbent upon us shall be the repair of the equipment or the
element identified as being defective by our services or possibly its
replacement free of charge, to the exclusion of all compensation or damages.
This warranty covers the cost of parts and labour in our factories.
The cost of transportation of the equipment replaced or repaired are the
purchaser's exclusive responsibility.
The risks shall be borne by the purchaser.
2. Exclusion
Defects and deterioration caused by natural wear of the product or by external
accident (poor maintenance, abnormal conditions of use, etc.) or by
modification of the equipment and tools not recommended nor specified by our
company, are excluded from the warranty.
Also the warranty shall not cover visible defects which the purchaser wouldn't
have formally notified KANNAD within 48 hours of receipt of the equipment.

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.

FEB 01/2008
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 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;
• anti-deflagration;
• 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 achieved 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 ELTs Presentation
The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT belongs to the AF type of ELTs which are
permanently attached to an aircraft. The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT is
designed to be installed on fixed wing aircraft or helicopters.
The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT Pack is composed of:
1. a transmitter (P/N S1840501-01);
2. a mounting bracket (P/N S1840502-01);
3. an RC200 remote control panel (P/N S1820513-11);
4. a DIN-12 connector (P/N S1820514-03);
5. a SUB D 9 Pts Female connector (P/N S1840506-01).
The approved outside whip (P/N 0141013) or rod (P/N 0124220) antennas are
purchased separately.
Thetransmitter andbracketare installedintheaircraft nearthetail.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 3-wire bundle (not
supplied).

3. LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS
A. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT is an ELT designed to be installed onboard
aircraft to transmit a distress signal on frequencies:
• 406 MHz (COSPAS-SARSAT frequency) for precise pinpointing and
identification of the aircraft in distress.
• 121.5 MHz used for homing in the final stages of the rescue operations.
The KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT is certified as Automatic Fixed (AF) ELT and
only works with the outside antennas described in this manual.
The housing of KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT transmitter is made of moulded
plastic with excellent mechanical resistance (Polycarbonate, light yellow
colour).
The ELT housing is designed with no sharp edges. It can be easily taken in one
hand.

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.
Figure 4: KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT with Mounting Bracket
C. Remote Control Panel
An RC200 remote control panel is available 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 light;
The remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 3-wire cable equipped
with a DIN-12 connector on the ELT side and a D-SUB Female 9Pts connector
on the other side.
Note: the 3-wire cable is not supplied.

D. Outside antenna
The outside antenna can be either of whip (ANT200, P/N 0141013) or rod
(ANT300, P/N 0124220) 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 male BNC connector.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: KANNAD recommends a cable with radio electric
properties similar to those of a RG58 cable.
Note: the 50 Ohm coaxial cable and the male BNC connector are not supplied.
