The TPS 8715 ELT Test & Programmer Set is a comprehensive system designed to verify, test, and program ARTEX ELTs. It is compact and portable, measuring 6.7” (170mm)(L) x 3.7” (94mm) (W) x 1.53” (39mm) (H), and is equipped with a 3.5” LED area backlight display. The TPS 8715 can quickly and easily program the full line of ARTEX General Aviation ELTs with the desired protocol, NAV Data Baud Rate, and required information as outlined by Cospas-Sarsat. The device records all data in an internal database which can be backed up to a PC, and the data can be viewed on the computer independently of the TPS 8715, and it is time-stamped as proof of transmission and proper programming.
The ARTEX TPS-8715 is equipped with a 400 MHz Samsung microprocessor, 64 megabytes SDRAM, and 128 megabytes Flash memory. The unit is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack with a capacity of 1700 mAh, and it can be charged using a 12V DC nominal input. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 60°C and can be stored in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 65°C. This equipment is sealed to IP67 standards, making it submersible to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
The Model TPS-8715 is compliant with CSPR22, CSPR24 (RF emissions & ESD immunity) and is equipped with USB, Serial (RS232), and Infrared (IrDA) communication capabilities. The device is designed to program ARTEX General Aviation ELTs, including the ME406, ELT 345, and ELT 1000. The TPS 8715 provides a simple method to verify and save the ARTEX ELTs ID after installation, reprogramming, or should the beacon need to be re-registered after an aircraft ownership change. The device is an essential tool for pilots, aircraft owners, and maintenance personnel who need to ensure that their ELTs are functioning correctly and are compliant with regulatory requirements.
