REMOTE CONTROL PANEL, RC200 / RC200-NVG
TECHNICAL PRESENTATION
3. DESIGN FEATURES
3.1. General
The RC200 Remote Control Panel is designed to be installed in the cockpit to allow the pilots to control the
ELT on board.
The RC200 enables remote control of the primary functions of the KANNAD Emergency Locator
Transmitters (Manual activation, Reset, Test) as well as visual monitoring.
The RC200 remote control panel has two outputs for optional equiment:
• one to drive an outside buzzer (S1820515-06),
• the other from an insulated photovoltaic relay (max.1A, max. 60V) to drive an outside horn or an
annunciator.
3.2. Mechanical design
It is composed of:
(1) a black front plate with white markings
(2) a red 3 position switch with 1 unstable position
(3) a led annunciator:
• red for RC200,
• NVIS compatible green A for RC200-NVG.

REMOTE CONTROL PANEL, RC200 / RC200-NVG
TECHNICAL PRESENTATION
3.4. Working modes
The RC200 enables remote control and remote monitoring of the KANNAD ELTs provided that the ELT
switch is in armed position.
3.4.1. Remote Control
Remote control is done through a 3 position switch:
• ON (transmission) enables manual activation of the ELT
• Armed (stand by mode to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor) is an idle position. Unless
there is an emergency, the switch must stay in this position.
• RESET and TEST is used either to stop the ELT transmission if activated or to perform a self-test.
The "OFF" mode is not available on the remote control panel but directly on the ELT itself by switching it in
"OFF" position.
Refer for technical presentation of the ELTs for precise information on these modes.
3.4.2. Monitoring
Monitoring is done through a led operating in the same way than the ELT led:
• Transmission
• 2 Hz pulsed signal during ELT transmission on 121.5 and 243 MHz
• 1 long flash during ELT transmission on 406 MHz (every 50 seconds).
• Self-test
• 1 short flash at the beginning of the self-test sequence
• 3 + N flashes at the end of the self-test sequence if the ELT is faulty (N depends of type of failure)
• 1 long flash at the end of the self-test sequence if the ELT is correct.
Refer for technical presentation of the ELTs for precise information on these modes.

6. INSTALLATION
6.1. Location
The precise location of the RC200 on board is to be determined according to the aircraft manufacturer
instructions.
The RC200 should be installed in the cockpit in an area that is not directly exposed to sun rays.
"ELT controls and displays installed for in-flight use shall be readily accessible from the pilot’s normal seated
position. The pilot shall have an unobstructed view of displayed data when in the normal seated position."
(RTCA DO-183).
6.2. Installation
Before installing the RC200, be sure the location meets the requirements established in RTCA-DO-183
(Refer to 6.1. Location).
The RC200 is designed to be installed either:
• on the instrument panel with 4 screws (rivets bush not supplied recommended):
a cutout must be made and four holes must be drilled on the instrument panel. Use the drilling mask
described below to determine the cutout size, the hole pattern and drill size.

9. MANUFACTURING
9.1. Quality insurance
All aviation equipment manufactured by SERPE-IESM are covered by the JAR21-Sub part G Production
Agreement number F.G.132 delivered by the French Civil Aviation Authority. It is GSAC's responsibility to
control periodically compliance of the production process with Production Agreement Specifications.
The Quality Control integrity of the equipment is attested by the issuance of the Certificate of Airworthiness
(JAA Form 1).
9.2. P/N structure
All series equipment are described in the production management system by an assembly number including
sub-assemblies or components.
The assembly numbers are designated as follows:
S18 XX XXX - XX.(X).(XX)
Evolution index
Amendment
Version index
Unit index
Product range index
Aviation equipment index
The "Part Number" (P/N) corresponds to the first 10 digits of the assembly number.
S18 XX XXX - XX
In case of equipment evolution, if "Form Fit Function" is altered, the Version index is modified.
If not, either Amendment or evolution index will be increased depending on the level of demonstration
required by the Airworthiness Authority to validate the modification.
As a consequence, all series equipment having the same Part Number are fully interchangeable.
9.3. Markings
9.3.1. Name Plate
A label stuck on the side of the RCP gives information on:
• P/N
• Amendment
• Serial Number (S/N)
• Qualification
• Manufacturer name
• Manufacturer code
• Manufacturer details

• Amendment (first readable letter, not marked or blacked out)
• S/N: Serial number including year of production release (H=2000, J=2001, K=2002, L=2003 …), batch
number, serial number in that batch,
• The number of evolutions since the production launch,
• Control Status (V = visual inspection, D = burn-in, C = control according to procedure XXX, CF = final
control),

10.MAINTENANCE POLICY
Considering the moulding technics used for RC200, disassembly of the RCP is extremely inadvisable and
this equipment is considered as "non repairable". No maintenance is therefore scheduled.
For fault location, refer to ACMM 25-63-21.
