This remote switch was designed to accomodate 2 wire installations used on the outdated 121.5 MHz ELTs to reduce installation costs. The 3 position switch is always positioned in the default ARMED mode, but can also be used for testing your ELT or activating your ELT from the cockpit. |
This switch is a must have if you have a ELT345. It is super easy to install. It only has 2 wires that connect to it. Only negative is that it is pricy and somewhat large. It takes up a fair amount of panel space. They sell a narrow switch that looks similar if space is a problem.
