The ARTEX ELT 345 can be activated manually (via a remote switch in the cockpit or the ELT switch itself) or automatically (the G-Switch detects an impact of 2.3G or more). It transmits a unique digital signal on the 406 MHz distress frequency, alerting the nearest search and rescue agency to your emergency. The 406 MHz signal, which includes your GPS coordinates, is transmitted to Cospas-Sarsat satellites and relayed to the Mission Control Center, where it is immediately forwarded to the closest search and rescue agency. The registration of your beacon allows first responders to know who you are, and the beacon itself provides your location within 100 meters. Finally, the 121.5 MHz homing signal helps search and rescue teams pinpoint your exact location.
Easy installation
The ARTEX ELT 345 offers a quick and easy retrofit opportunity with flexible installation options, such as our two-wire remote switch, available in standard or slim styles, and requiring no aircraft power. The ELT 345 uses the same RF signal, transmitting both 406 MHz and 121.5 MHz signals via a single coaxial cable and a 15- or 23-inch whip antenna. The integrated navigation interface does not require aircraft power to operate, significantly reducing installation costs. The stainless steel mounting bracket features a multi-hole pattern, making it easy to replace older ARTEX ELT models, as well as ELTs from ACK, Kannad, and AmeriKing.
