How the ARTEX ELT 4000M works
The ARTEX ELT 4000M can be activated manually (via cockpit remote switch) or automaticaly (the G-Switch senses a 2.3G or greater impact), and alerts the closest Search and Rescue agency of an emergency. The 406 MHz signal, containing the aircraft GPS coordinates, is transmitted to the Cospas-Sarsat satellites and relayed to the Mission Control Center where it is immediately routed to the nearest Search and Rescue agency. The beacon will provide first responders with the exact location to within 100 meters. Finally, the 121.5 MHz homing signal assists Search and Rescue ground forces with finding the location of the emergency.
