15-pin D-sub connector.

8.1.3 Fasten the three wires along the harness within one inch of the module interface using
cable ties.
NOTE: The length of the wires between the end of the module and the first cable tie
should have enough slack to provide strain relief.
8.1.4 Fasten the harness to the aircraft. Ensure that the harness has enough slack to prevent
tensile load on the modular jack connector of the module interface.
8.1.5 Plug the modular jack connector of the harness to the remote switch 453-0023 if it is
already installed.
8.1.6 Refer to the Transmitter Test section of the ME406 series ELT manuals to check the
operation of the complete connection to the ELT.
8.1.7 Enter the date, installer’s initials and whether the ELT passed or failed into the aircraft’s
logbook.
