The ARTEX ELT 4000S is a portable Survival(S) ELT that transmits on 121.5 and 406 MHz that is exempt from TSO C142 and DO-227 requirements due to the innovative alkaline battery powered system. The ELT transmitter is based on the ARTEX ELT 4000 system and represents the latest ELT transmitter technology with a Lithium-free battery in a survival beacon saving operators in hazmat shipping fees. The ARTEX ELT 4000S is buoyant and automatically activates when deployed in water. A manual activation switch is also included for land use. An internal GPS (GNSS) will acquire position data for inclusion in the 406 MHz transmission, and a lanyard allows for attachment to a life raft.
The ARTEX ELT 4000S features an easy to read test system utilizing two LED indicators. A green LED indicates a successful self-test. The 15ft. lanyard is neatly stowed in the top housing and the foldable antenna is secured and can be deployed with one hand.
The TSO approved mounting system provides multi-axis release offering installation location flexibility. A user replaceable battery system offers on-wing maintenance capability reducing ownership costs.
