C. ELT D-Sub Plug Installation
NOTE: Artex supplies a DB15 female solder contact connector with all ME406 ELT kits. If a
crimp contact connector is preferred, it is acceptable to purchase and use an
alternate DB15 crimp contact connector. Ensure it conforms to MIL-C-24308 or other
commercial specification to ensure performance requirements are met.
NOTE: If moisture intrusion is a possibility, seal the back side of the connector. See SUBTASK

Select a rubber grommet, supplied as part of the D-Sub housing kit (150-1127), that fits
snugly around the harness wiring.
(2)
Feed the wiring harness, ground wire, and buzzer power wire through the rubber grommet,
such that the raised collar end of the grommet fits inside the housing. See Figure 21 D-Sub
NOTE: For composite airframe installations, the buzzer ground wire should also be routed
through the grommet.
