What was found
THE ELT TRANSMITTER WOULD ACTIVATE ITSELF WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS STATIC IN THE HANGAR. THE UNIT WOULD ALSO SELF ACTIVATE WHILE SITTING ON THE BENCH. THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE ELT COULD BE TURNED ON THEN BACK TO OFF AND THE ELT WOULD REACTIVATE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. THERE WERE NO VISUAL DISCREPANCIES NOTED ON THE ELT UNIT. REPLACED ELT UNIT WITH A NEW ONE. CONTACTED REGISTERED OWNER FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. DISCOVERED THAT THE EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER IS ONE OF THE NEW TYPE: C4062AF (AUTOMATIC FIXED) WHICH WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLATION. INDIVIDUAL STATED THAT THEY DID NOT TRY REPLACING THE BATTERIES, BUT OPTED FOR A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE UNIT.
