1. Description and Operation
SUBTASK 25-62-13-870-001
A. Purpose
(1) The Programming Adapter (PA) is a C406-N Series ELT option that provides the means to
reprogram the ELT automatically every time the PA determines a new ELT with different
programming has been placed in an aircraft.
(2) This capability facilitates swapping ELTs from one aircraft to another when performing routine
maintenance, etc., without losing a significant amount of time reprogramming ELTs.

B. Physical Description
(1) The PA is housed in a backshell extension designed for use with the remote switch harness
22-position plug that mates with the ELT.
(2) The PA circuitry is encapsulated in the backshell extension and has six wires, with pre-installed
contact sockets, that exit the rear of the PA. See "Figure 28. Programming Adapter".

associated with ELT installation.
