In a continuing effort to reduce installation costs for aircraft owners upgrading to Artex 406MHz ELT systems, Cobham Avionics – Artex Products announces the release of the Artex 2-Wire Remote Interface System. Many of the existing TSO C91a installations with Juliet, Pointer and Narco 121.5 MHz utilize 2 wires between the cockpit remote switch and the ELT. Other manufacturers of 121.5 MHz ELTs use 3 or 4 wires. The Artex 2-Wire Remote Interface uses just 2 existing wires from the wiring harness to connect the new cockpit remote switch to an Artex 406 MHz ELT for a more simplified, cost-efficient upgrade.
Hannes Geiger, Director of Marketing for Cobham Avionics - Artex Products, commented “Following our commitment to ‘Saving Lives’, Artex Products came through with a retrofit solution to minimize installation costs. Safety conscious aircraft owners upgrading to Artex 406 MHz ELT technology now have the ability, with the Artex 2-Wire Remote Interface, to re-use part of the existing wiring between the cockpit remote switch and the 121.5 MHz ELT.”
The 2-Wire Remote Interface is a follow-up to the Artex ME406 ACE (Absolute Cost Efficiency) ELT. The ME406 ACE is a retrofit for current ACK or Ameri-King 121.5 MHz ELTs and comes complete with a remote switch and adapters to utilize existing wiring.
