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 shocks;
• watertightness;
• antideflagration;
• extreme temperatures (-20°C to 55°C for more than 48 hours).

NOTE: Mounting Bracket AS-PLUS cannot store a programming dongle. The
Hook and Loop Fastener Strap used to retain the ELT is made of BMS8-285
Type IV Class2 material (BMS - BOEING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION), In
addition it is fitted with snaps to secure the fixing method.

3. Design features
A. General
KANNAD 406 SURVIVAL is a survival ELT intended to be removed from the
aircraft and used to assist SAR teams in locating survivors of a crash.
KANNAD406SURVIVALisastandaloneequipmentequippedwithan auxiliary
antenna and activated manually by survivors or automatically by a "Water
Switch Sensor" when in contact with water.
B. Mechanical design
KANNAD406SURVIVALismadeofmouldedplasticwithexcellentmechanical
resistance (ASA/PC, light yellow colour).
The housing is designed to be easily taken in one hand. A tether is supplied to
tie the ELT to a liferaft.
KANNAD406SURVIVAL isfittedwitha floatingcollartoenable theELT to float
upright if used in water.
Important notice: Unlike all other KANNAD 406 ELTs (automatic),
KANNAD 406 SURVIVAL (survival) is not fitted with a G-Switch (shock
detector).

SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1. Transmitter
The KANNAD 406 SURVIVAL is designed to transmit on three frequencies
(121.5, 243 and 406 MHz).The two basic aeronautical emergency frequencies
(121.5 and 243 MHz ) are mainly used for homing in the final stages of the
rescue operations. The 406 MHz frequency is used by the COSPAS-SARSAT
satellites for precise pinpointing and identification of the aircraft in distress.
Once activated, the transmitter operates continuously on 121.5 and 243 MHz.
The output power is 100 mW on each frequency.
The modulation is an audio frequency sweeping downwards from 1420 Hz to
490 Hz with a repetition rate of 3 Hz.
During the 24 first hours of operation, a signal is transmitted on 406 MHz every
50 seconds to the COSPAS-SARSAT satellites. The output power on 406 MHz
is near 5W i.e. 50 times more powerful than the VHF signal.
2. Controls
The following controls are to be found on the ELT front panel:
1. 3-position switch ARM/OFF/ON;
2. Visual indicator (red);
3. DIN 12 connector for water switch sensor, dongle or programming
equipment connection;
4. TNC connector for the antenna.
