1. Introduction
The instructions in this manual provide the information necessary for
installation and operation with the RC102 remote control panels.
IMPORTANT: Installation of this RCP is covered by Service Bulletin "SB
S1820513-25-02”. Please read carefully this Service Bulletin before
installing this RCP.
This Service Bulletin applies only to KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT
P/N S1840501-01 at amendment M only.
(KANNAD 406 AF-COMPACT P/N S1840501-01 at amendment N or higher
are not concerned by this Service Bulletin).

2. KANNAD ELTs System Presentation
KANNAD ELTs system is composed of:
1. an ELT transmitter (Refer to B. Compatibility list, page 14) and its
mounting bracket;
2. a remote control panel;
3. a DIN-12 connector (P/N S1820514-03) or programming dongle
(P/N S1820514-01 or P/N S1820514-06);
4. an outside whip or rod antenna.
The transmitter and bracket are installed in the aircraft near the tail.
The remote control panel is installed in the cockpit and connected to the ELT
with a 2-wire bundle (not supplied).
The DIN-12 connector is used to connect the RCP bundle to the ELT, it may be
replaced by a programming dongle fulfilling two functions:
• programming of ELT;
• connection of RCP bundle to ELT.
The outside antenna is mounted on the fuselage near the tail.

3. Description
A. General
The RC102 is the smallest version of remote control panels compatible
with KANNAD406 AF-COMPACT series ELTs. It is specially intended for
general aviation or helicopters and can also be adapted for «cabin
installations» or retrofits on board airliners thanks to its small dimensions.
The 102 enables remote control of the primary functions of KANNAD ELTs
(Manual activation, Reset andTest) as well as visual monitoring.
CAUTION: RC102 is not compatible with KANNAD 406 AF COMPACT
P/N S1840501-01 at amendment L or lower.

B. Mechanical design
The RC102 kit is composed of:
1. two self adhesive front plates (black with white markings);
2. a red LED annunciator, a led stand, a led mounting, washers and nuts;
3. a PCB on which is soldered a 3-position toggle switch with 2 locked
positions and a momentary position plus its washer and nut;
4. an identification label.
5. a CAUTION label
Figure 2: RC102 Remote Control Panel Kit
These components are delivered in a kit and must be assembled then
directly mounted on the aircraft instrument panel.

4. RCP installation
A. Installation recommendations
IMPORTANT: Installation of this RCP is covered by Service Bulletin
"SB S1820513-25-02": Refer to Section 1. Introduction, page 1.
The RCP shall be installed in the cockpit. The RCP shall be readily
accessible from the pilot’s normal seated position.
CAUTION: RC102 RCP may only be installed with KANNAD 406 AF
COMPACT P/N S1840501-01 at amendment M or higher or on
KANNAD 406 AF COMPACT ER P/N S1840501-04. A WARNING label
is supplied with the kit and must be stuck on the 2-wire bundle on the
ELT side.
2 types of front plates may be installed. Choose the appropriate front plate
according to the aircraft’s instrument panel.
Connection of RC102 requires a 2-wire bundle. A pin-to-pin wiring has to
be provided by the installer with AWG24 wires. Shielded wires are
recommended.
The wires are soldered to a PCB installed on the switch. This operation can
be carried out before installation.
On the ELT side, the wires are soldered to a 12-pin plug that can be either
a standard "DIN12 connector" (P/N S1820514-03) or a connector with an
integrated serial memory module called "Programming Dongle"
(P/N S1820514-01).
B. RCP Installation procedure
(1) Mount RCP
(Refer to Figure 3: RCP mounting diagram)
NOTE: Legs of LED must be protected by heat shrinkable sleeves.
Choose one of the front plates (1a or 1b) according to the space
available on the instrument panel.
Front plate (1a)
• Place the front plate (1a) on the instrument panel and use it as drilling
mask or;
• Trace the centers of the two holes according to drilling mask supplied;
• Drill a hole Ø 8 mm for the LED mounting (2) (top of the panel);
• Drill a hole Ø6.5 mm for the switch (3b) (bottom of the panel);
Note: the switch (3b) is already soldered to a PCB (3a)
• Tear off protection of front plate (1a) from self-adhesive film;

• Drill a hole Ø 8 mm for the LED mounting (2) (left of the panel);
• Drill a hole Ø6.5 mm for the switch (3b) (right of the panel);
Note: the switch (3b) is already soldered to a PCB (3a).
• Drill 4 holes of Ø 3 mm for the screws used to fix the RCP;
• Screw the front plate (1b) onto the instrument panel;
• Install the LED mounting (2), with washer (2a) and nut (2b). Tighten
nut;
• Connect the anode (long leg) of LED (2c) to A of PCB (3a);
• Connect the cathode (short leg) of LED (2c) to C of PCB (3a);
• Connect wires to K and M of PCB (3a);
• Insert the LED into the LED stand (2d) taking care the flat part of the
LED be in front of the flat part of the LED stand;
• Insert LED (2c) fitted with LED stand (2d) inside the LED mounting (2);
