Product Manual

The EBC 502HM is a modified version of the EBC 502H. This ELT has been enhanced to survive the special conditions faced by the military. The antenna has been “beefed up” for increased survivability. A shorting plug has been added to disable the automatic activation feature during maintenance. The ELT is painted with a flat black, non-infrared reflective finish so that the unit is compatible with night vision equipment.

This ELT uses our proven omnidirectional activation system. This system uses 2 omnidirectional switches mounted perpendicularly to
each other. Since each senses impact in 360˚ the total coverage is a true 360˚ multiaxis activation switch. The switches are connected to a timing circuit so that only a crash, not a hard landing or vibration, will activate the unit. False alarms are therefore eliminated.
