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.

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 / 243 MHz 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;
• antideflagration;
• extreme temperatures (-20°C to 55°C for more than 48 hours).
D. G-Switch (shock detectors)
The shock detectors currently equipping automatic ELTs are the cause of a
large number of false alarms. Major work has consisted in studying aircraft
crashes (study made 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 AP Presentation
The KANNAD 406 AP is composed of:
1. a transmitter;
2. a mounting bracket;
3. a remote control panel (mandatory if ELT controls are not available from
the pilot’s position, refer to RTCA/DO-183, RTCA/DO-204, EUROCAE
ED-62);
4. an outside antenna;
5. a "Programming Dongle" for pin-programming function (option);
6. CS144 Interface Module (option);
7. an auxiliary antenna (for use as a survival beacon).
The transmitter, bracket, Programming Dongle and CS144 Interface Module
are installed in the aircraft near the tail. 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 4 or 5 wire bundle.

3. LINE REPLACEABLE UNITS
A. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 AP is an ELT designed to be installed on board aircraft to
transmit a distress signal on 3 frequencies:
• 406 MHz (COSPAS-SARSAT frequency) for precise pinpointing and
identification of the aircraft in distress.
• 121,5 and 243 MHz used for homing in the final stages of the rescue
operations.
It is certified as an Automatic Portable (AP) ELT and works with a three
frequency outside antenna when installed on board the aircraft or with a small
whip antenna (auxiliary antenna) when used as a survival ELT.
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.
C. Remote Control Panel
A 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 or amber visual indicator;
• beeper (on certain versions).
The remote control panel is connected to the ELT via a 4 or 5 wire cable
equipped with a "Programming Dongle" or a DIN 12 connector on the ELT side
and the connector corresponding to the Remote Control Panel version on the
other side.
D. External antenna
Theexternalantenna,alsoinstallednearthetail, canbeeither rodorblade 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 BNC connector.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Orolia S.A.S. recommends a cable with radio
electric properties similar or better to those of a RG58 cable.

4. Design features
A. General
The KANNAD 406 AP belongs to the AP type of ELTs which are intended to be
rigdly attached to the aircraft before the crash, but readily removable from the
aircraft after a crash.
B. Mechanical design
The KANNAD 406 AP is made of moulded plastic with excellent mechanical
resistance (ASA/PC, light yellow colour).
The housing is designed with no sharp edges.
