Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 1. 570-0023 Rev. G INTRODUCTION This manual contains detailed information to install the self-powered remote switch 453-0023, module interface 453-1101, and the buzzer 452-6505. In addition, these instructions highlight the methodology to replace the cell in the remote switch. This manual is not intended to be an installation for the ELT system. Use this manual in conjunction with any of Artex ME406 series ELT manuals. 2.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 3. 570-0023 Rev. G WIRING PIN OUT The following information highlights the pin out of the remote switch and module interface.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 4. 570-0023 Rev. G HARNESS Due to the large array of configurations possible, ACR Electronics, Inc. does not provide a harness or RJ11 plugs (telephone connector) as part of the installation of the ELT. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the installer to manufacture a harness or ensure that the existing harness is adequate for the installation. The harness must be manufactured following the cross-wired configuration mentioned in Subsection 6.2.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 5. 570-0023 Rev. G WIRING DIAGRAMS Refer to the following wiring diagrams to connect the remote switch 453-0023, module interface 453-1101, and buzzer 452-6505 to the ME406 series ELT. NOTE: For Ameri-King or ACK ELT retrofit application, refer to Subsection 6.1. Figures 1 and 2 apply to composite aircraft, whereas Figures 3 and 4 apply to metal aircraft.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 570-0023 Rev. G Figures 3 and 4 apply to metal aircraft.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 6. 453-0023 REMOTE SWITCH INSTALLATION 6.1 Ameri-King and ACK Installation Retrofit 570-0023 Rev. G Ameri-King retrofit: The remote switch 453-0023 and ME406 series ELT cannot be used in conjunction with the Ameri-King interconnecting cable unless extender 611-0018 is connected directly with the Ameri-King cable. This 611-0018 extender is provided as part of the ELT installation pack list or can be ordered as line item.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 570-0023 Rev. G ACK retrofit: The remote switch 453-0023 and ME406 series ELT cannot be used in conjunction with the ACK interconnecting cable unless Flat Cable 611-0019 is connected directly with the ACK cable. This 611-0019 cable is provided as part of the ELT installation pack list or can be ordered as line item. The cable is installed on the ELT side. The 611-0018 extender can be discarded since it intended for Ameri-King ELT retrofit.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 570-0023 Rev. G 6.2 Typical Installation 6.2.1 Due to the large array of configurations possible, ACR Electronics, Inc. does not provide a harness or RJ11 plugs (telephone connector) as part of the installation of the ELT. 6.2.2 The harness must be manufactured following the cross-wired configuration shown below. NOTE: Refer to Subsection 6.1 for ACK and Ameri-King retrofits.
Artex Products / ACR Electronics, Inc. 570-0023 Rev. G 6.3 Panel Cutout Instructions 6.3.1 Select a mounting location where the remote switch can be seen from the pilot’s seated location, easily be reached by the pilot, out of direct sunlight, and can accommodate the remote switch and the label. Depending on the remote switch orientation on the control panel, choose the appropriate label and discard the other one. Label 591-0003 and label 591-3029 are provided in the 455-0023 pack list.
