4) Watch the screen on the Test Set to ensure that a message has been received. Repeat “self-test” if necessary.

5) View message, ensure that all applicable information is correct (country code, aircraft ID, etc.). 

6) The 15 digit ID hex ID (for example “ADC6492640D3411”) should match that shown on the ELT product label. This is the 15 digit hex ID (Unique Identification Number or “UIN”) that is used to register the ELT. 

4.4.11 Verify Registration

Check ELT for signs of registration. In the US, NOAA supplies a beacon registration label that is applied to the ELT when it is registered. The following address should be used to register and obtain information on how to register 406 MHz ELTs in the US:
 
NOAA SARSAT Beacon Registration
NSOF, E/SP3
4231 Suitland Road
Suitland, MD 20746
Or call: 1-888-212-SAVE (7283) or 301-817-4515
http://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/ 
The Artex website also contains information on registering beacons in other countries http://www.artex.net/support-resources/ELT-registration-requirements.php. 
 
NOTE:  For ELTs that will have a country of registration other than the USA, please contact the appropriate Civil Aviation Authority in that country for guidelines and documentation needed to assure proper registration.  Always follow the national procedures.  The correct information for registering the radio transmitter may require including the following information:
4.4.12 Logbook Entry 

Enter the date, the test technician’s initials, and whether the ELT passed or failed into the aircraft’s logbook.
4.4.13 Shipping Instructions

Artex, Inc. strongly encourages the battery be disconnected from the ELT for shipping purposes.  If this cannot be done, the switch must be secured in the “ARM” position to prevent accidental activation during transport.
5. Troubleshooting Guide

SYMPTOM
 LIKELY CAUSE
 ACTION
 
3 Flash Error after performing self-test
 Bad load detect. Detects open or short condition on the antenna output or cable. 
 1) Check that the RF cable is connected and in good condition. Perform continuity check of center conductor and shield. Check for a shorted cable.

2) Check for intermittent connection in the RF cable.

3) If this error code persists there may be a problem with the antenna installation. This can be checked with a VSWR meter. Check the antenna for opens, shorts, resistive ground plane connection.

 
Antenna mismatch causes cable length to affect sensitivity of load detector circuit. Also refer to PAN012 at http://www.artex.net/support-resources/documents.php?folderid=8. 
 4) Change cable length by about 5”. Contact Artex Technical Assistance to request extension cable P/N 611-0001.
