1. INTRODUCTION
This document describes the ADT 406 C/S ID ENCODER tool.
The ADT 406 C/S ID ENCODER requires the use of a computer supplied by the customer, with one RS
232 available serial link (or alternatively USB/SERIAL adapter).
2. GENERAL
A. Purpose of the ADT 406 C/S ID ENCODER (STB-06Encoder)

It is used for:
• ELT Cospas-Sarsat Identification management.

It contains everything required for programming an ELT’s distress beacon from the ADT 406 range i.e.
Automatic Fixed, Automatic Portable and Survival models.
B. Improvement from the previous version
The new release version 1.0.5.3. incorporates the evolutions made to the STB-06 test bench software
V1.2.9.3:
• Addition of the compatibility to Windows 8 operating software.
• Transfer of the “Save” sub-directory (ADT 406 C/S ID ENCODER various reports) to the
standard working hard disk of the computer (so no more located under C:\Program Files
(x86)\Elta…..) for a better W7/W8 data management
C. List of ELT model addressed by STB-06Encoder
ELT model ELT Type ELT P/N Rev. (Amendment)

ADT 406 AF/AP Automatic Fixed 01N65900 A to K
ADT 406² AF/AP Automatic Fixed 01N65900 L and above

D. General characteristics
The P/N of the ADT 406 C/S ID ENCODER is 03N60662. It is composed of :

- One Programming Cable P/N 02N65746 for ELT model ADT 406 (x):,
- One CodADT tool P/N 05N62132 for coding the Activation/Identification module of the model ADT
406 S,
- One Software on CD ROM (recovery),
- This user’s handbook P/N 03E67040.
Note: Software update kit P/N 12N62022 exists and allows update of already in service ADT 406 C/S
ID ENCODER. It contents CDROM, User’s Handbook and labels to follow up the update.
E. CodADT tool
The CodADT tool is mandatory required for coding ADT406 S (Survival) ELT because this model does
not have any connector allowing access to the Identification/Activation module.
Note: This tool may also be used “technically” for Identification / Activation module encoding of the
ADT406 Automatic Fixed or Automatic Portable models without using the ELT transmitter, but
reports will not show accurate ELT model number. It could be used as “Back up” solution for
an emergency purposes.
Remove the “Identification / activation module” from the related Survival ELT and plug it onto CodADT
tool (Figure 1 item 4).
Connect the CodADT connector (Figure 1 item 3) to the computer serial link with the programming
cable P/N 02N65746.
Switch ON and OFF the CodADT toggle switch (Figure 1 item 1) when required by the encoding
software text box “SWITCH ON THE BEACON” or “SWITCH OFF THE BEACON”. Indeed there is no
control on the Activation/Identification module. The activation status is displayed on the green LED
(Figure 1 item 2)

“Clock” displays the actual value of the ELT internal real time clock. It is not a UTC indication.
This value is not relevant for ELT model ADT 406 S (set to 0).
“Battery used time” indicates the cumulative transmission duration of the transmitter in ON mode
(increased every 15 minutes). This value is not relevant for ELT model ADT 406 S (set to 0).
When the battery used time is over a limit , a warning box appears after an identification Read. It
recommends to perform a battery servicing on the ELT transmitter.
Note: For the ADT 406S the P/N indicated in the “Beacon model” field is the CodADT tool one
