The KANNAD 406 AP-H is designed to be installed near the tail and to be connected to an outside antenna. A sophisticated “shock sensor” system will activate the ELT automatically in the event of a crash.
Its small size and light weight makes it ideal for any helicopter. It incorporates an auxilary antenna that turns the ELT into a survival beacon, removable from the aircraft after a crash.
This newest generation of ELT offers all the latest improvements of the COSPAS-SARSAT system with the 406 MHz frequency at a price slightly over that of conventional two frequency ELTs:
Kannad is Specialist in pinpointing distresses by satellite and number one in 406 MHz maritime Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs) and PLB™s.
Global Coverage thanks to COSPAS-SARSAT multiple satellite constellation
Precise Pinpointing (<1NM) due to the unparalleled frequency accuracy of the 406 transmitter
Identification of the aircraft in distress. The ELT transmits a unique aircraft identification number
Efficient processing of false alarms to avoid costly search and rescue operations
