Product Manual
Years of field experience by our pilot engineers have led to the development of the EBC 302HM series, ELTs especially adapted for the military. Our engineers used the EBC 302H design with its unique 360° spherical 6-axis G Switch system as the basis for these ruggedized military models. The EBC 302HM incorporates a flat black, non-infrared reflective finish which allows cockpit mounting even when night vision goggles are in use. The antenna assembly has been strengthened beyond what is normally required for civil aircraft so as to provide increased military survivability. Since military equipment is subjected to continuous periodic maintenance and handling while on the ground, false alarms due to handling can be very troublesome. To address this problem the EBC 302HM incorporates a shorting plug attached to the lanyard which disables the crash force sensor when inserted into the disabling jacks. Thus, maintenance can be performed without any worry of accidentally activating the ELT. The EBC 302HM is also ideally suited for all military fixed wing aircraft thereby providing the military with a single universal unit designed for their special needs.
The EBC 302HM is FCC Type Accepted under part 87.
