D. Acceptance test procedure
Perform an RCP test (Refer to D. RCP operational tests, page 15).
5. Working mode
A. Controls
The following elements are to be found on the RC200 remote control
panels:
1.a 3-position switch (ON, ARMED, RESET & TEST);
2.a red visual indicator.
Figure 8: RCP controls
The visual indicator gives an indication on the working mode of the
beacon:
- After the self-test:
• one long flash indicates that the system is operational and that no
error were found;
• a series of short flash indicates the test has failed.
- In operation mode:
• periodic flashes during homer transmissions;
• long flash during 406 transmission.
B. Working mode information
The RC200 remote control panels enable remote control and remote
monitoring of the KANNAD ELTs provided that the ELT switch is in
armed position.
(1)Remote control
Remote control is done through a 3-position switch:
1.ON (transmission) enables manual activation of the ELT;
2.ARMED (stand by mode to enable automatic activation by the shock
sensor of ELT) is an idle position. Unless there is an emergency, the
switch must stay in this position.

3.RESET & TEST is used either to stop the ELT transmission if
activated or to perform a self-test.
Figure 9: 3-position switch
As required by regulations, the OFF mode is not available on the remote
control panel (RTCA DO 204 § 2.2.6.c, EUROCAE ED 62 § 2.5.1.1) but
directly on the ELT itself by switching it in OFF position.
Important notice: TEST/RESET (downwards) is a momentary
position.
Refer to operation manuals of the ELTs for precise information on these
modes.
(2) Monitoring
Monitoring is done through a visual indicator (Refer to Figure 8: RCP
controls, page 11) operating in the same way than those of the ELT:
Transmission:
• 1 short flash every 0.5 or 0.7 seconds during homer transmission;
• 1 long flash during ELT transmission on 406 MHz.
Self-test:
(Refer to C. RESET & TEST, page 13).
Refer to operation manuals of the ELTs for precise information on these
modes.

6. Operation Figure 10: Operating modes
A. Stand by mode
The stand by mode is the ARMED position (idle position). The switch is in
the middle position.
This mode is used to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor of
the ELT provided that the ELT switch is in armed position. Unless
there is an emergency, the switch must stay in this position.
B. ON mode
This mode is used to activate manually the ELT. When this mode is
selected, the ELT transmission is activated.
- Press the switch upwards.
A self test is first performed (Refer to C. RESET & TEST, page 13).
- After the self-test (max. duration 15 seconds), the ELT starts to transmit:
• The visual indicator is flashing in the same way than those of the ELT;
• The buzzer of the ELT (and outside buzzer if connected) is activated.
C. RESET & TEST
This mode is used either to perform a self-test or to stop the ELT
transmission if activated.
(1)Self test
IMPORTANT: Do not perform self-test without the antenna
connected.
Self-test must be performed regularly by a pilot or maintenance
personnel from the Remote Control Panel but should not be done
more often than specified in ELT user manual.
However, each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should
self-tests be carried out more often than the maximum allowed, the
battery life-time of the ELT might be shorter than specified.

Press the switch downwards for at least 1 second then release it (the
switch comes back in ARMED position):
The visual indicator is flashing as follows:
• one short flash at the beginning of the self-test sequence
After a few seconds, the test result is displayed with the visual indicator
as follows:
• one long flash indicates the system is operational and that no error
conditions were found;
• a series of short flashes indicates the test has failed:
Refer to the ELT manual.
(2) RESET
This mode is used to stop the ELT when activated.
If the ELT is activated, the visual indicator of RCP is flashing in the same
way than the one of the ELT:
• Press the switch downwards for at least 1 second then release it (the
switch comes back in ARMED position):
• The visual indicator is OFF.
Important notice: On ELTs P/N S182X502-XX, if a RESET is
performed from RCP with the ELT manually activated (ON position
on the front panel of the ELT), the ELT transmission will stop for
max. 50 seconds then start again.
In this case, on the RCP:
• The led is off for max. 50 seconds then flash again.
