REMOTE SWITCH OPTION
The Remote Switch/Monitor feature is required for all installations where the transmitter is not accessible to the
pilot in flight. This Remote Switch/Monitor enables the pilot to control the ELT in flight, and also visibly detects if
ELT is transmitting. This is also useful
for testing without gaining access to the transmitter.
