Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment testing, in particular to an aircraft ELT control panel testing device. Background Art
[0002] Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs), also known as emergency radios, come in two types: portable and fixed. When an aircraft experiences a severe impact or water strikes, the ELT transmits an emergency signal, typically lasting at least 24 hours. The signal can be received by the International Satellite Search and Rescue (COSPAS) satellite system.
[0003] Currently, ELT control panels installed on Boeing B737, B767, G7116-01, and G7116-02 aircraft require ground testing of various output signals before factory installation to ensure proper operation in an emergency. Existing testing methods involve using the appropriate equipment for each signal. For example, to verify the panel's 28V voltage input is normal, a multimeter is used to test the voltage amplitude and current. To verify the normality of output signals, such as the MASTER CAUTION PULSE signal, an oscilloscope is used. This increases the complexity of testing and is inconvenient. In light of this, we propose an aircraft ELT control panel testing device. Utility Model Content
