AUTOMATIC PORTABLE HELICOPTER EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTERFor cabin or cockpit installation in helicopters. Has 720 degree spherical automatic activation. Transmits on 406.028 & 121.5MHz. Meets TSO-C126. Approved for use without a remote control monitor.Product Manual![]() The EBC 406APH is designed for installation in the cabin section of a helicopter. It transmits on the frequencies of 406.028 and 121.5 MHz. The system comes with a transmitter, portable/survival antenna, mounting bracket, external whip antenna with a 6 foot coax cable, and a battery pack. The whip antenna can be replaced with a rod or blade antenna if desired. If the ELT is activated a built-in monitor emits a loud beeping tone and the LED flashes. The portable/survival antenna allows the ELT to transmit a good signal when used outside the aircraft. Since it is installed near the pilot a Remote Control Monitor is not required. The EBC 406APH is meant to be installed near the pilot. This eliminates the need for a remote control monitor and thus reduces the cost of installation and the need to use panel space. This type of installation also allows for easy removal of the ELT in case of an emergency – just disconnect the antenna cable and attach the portable/survival antenna after leaving the aircraft. Designed with the newest technology, the EBC 406APH also incorporates the best and proven features that characterize all of EBC’s emergency locator transmitters. These transmitters have encapsulated electronics and battery packs to provide added protection against shock, moisture and other environmental hazards. The EBC 406APH uses our proven omnidirectional activation system. This system uses 2 omnidirectional switches mounted perpendicularly to each other. Since each senses impact in 360° the total coverage is a true 360° multiaxis activation switch. The switches are connected to a timing circuit so that only a crash, not a hard landing or vibration, will activate the unit. False alarms are therefore eliminated. A self-test feature is built into the EBC 406APH. This feature allows the pilot to test for output power on both 406.028 and 121.5 MHz, the connection with the antenna, and the condition of the digital signal. The test is done directly at the ELT. The EBC 406APH is approved by the FAA under TSO-91a and TSO-126, approved by COSPAS/SARSAT and meets FCC requirements under Part 87. Physical Features
