NOTE On aircraft serial numbers 92-3327, 92-3328, and 92-3329, an access hole with a spring-loaded cover is located in the fuselage skin adjacent to the transmitter, enabling a downed pilot to manually initiate or terminate operation, or reset the ELT to an armed mode. a. Description.An automatic or manually activated ELT, Figure 3A -5, is located in the left side of the aft fuselage. The associated antenna is mounted on top of the aft fuselage. The transmitter contains a G switch that automatically activates the transmitter following a velocity change of 3.5 feet per second. When activated, the ELT will radiate omnidirectional radio frequency signals on the international distress frequencies of 121.5 and 243.0 megahertz. The radiated signal is modulated with an audio swept tone. Internal batteries provide transmitter operation for a minimum of 50 hours at –20 ºC. b. Remote Switch and Indicator Light.The remote switch and indicator light are located on the left sidewall next to the free air temperature indicator, Figure 2-7. The ELT annunciator, placarded XMT, illuminates to indicate that the ELT is transmitting. The remote switch is placarded ON / ARM. (1) ON– Initiates emergency signal transmissions for test or for emergency purposes. (2) ARM – Used to arm the ELT or reset it after an accidental activation. c. Normal Operation.During normal operation the remote switch is in the ARM position. d. Emergency Operation.Moving the remote switch to the ON position will manually activate the ELT. e. Resetting the ELT.If the ELT is activated accidentally, it will need to be reset. Do this by moving the remote switch up to the ON position and holding it there for 1 second, then immediately rocking it down to the ARM position, then releasing the switch. 3A-12. COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER SYSTEM. a. Description.The cockpit voice recorder system is a solid-state system consisting of a cockpit voice recorder and a control unit, Figure 3A -6. The cockpit voice recorder system provides four separate channels for voice recording which originate at the pilot's audio amplifier, the copilot's audio amplifier, the aural annunciator audio amplifier, and the area microphone in the cockpit. The cockpit area microphone is strategically located to pick up cockpit voice signals. The control unit (containing the preamplifier, TEST switch, and ERASE switch) is located in the pedestal extension, Figure 2-11. The cockpit voice recorder system is protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker placarded VOICE RCDR, located on the right sidewall circuit breaker, Figure 2-6. (1) Cockpit Voice Recorder – The cockpit voice recorder records all voice signals transmitted or received by crew members for a maximum period of 30 minutes continuous operation. After 30 minutes of continuous operation the voice recordings are erased. The cockpit voice recorder is housed in an orange equipment case that is designed to protect the recordings from damage resulting from an accident. b. Cockpit Voice Recorder Controls, Indicators, and Functions. (1) Test Meter. The test meter provides an indication of the relative strength of voice signals coming from the cockpit microphone or audio amplifiers. (2) TEST Switch. A push-button switch placarded TEST provides a means of testing the area microphone channel.
