C. ELT D-Sub Plug Installation
NOTE: Artex supplies a DB15 female soler contact connector with all ME406 ELT kits. If a crimp contact
connector is preferred, it is acceptable to purchase and use an alternate DB15 crimp contact
connector. Ensure it conforms to MIL-C-24308 or other commercial specification to ensure
performance requirements are met.
NOTE: If moisture intrusion is a possibility, seal the back side of the connector. See SUBTASK 25-62-31-
450-001 on page 62.
(1) Select a rubber grommet, supplied as part of the D-Sub housing kit (150-1127), that fits
snugly around the harness wiring.
(2) Feed the wiring harness, ground wire, and buzzer power wire through the rubber grommet,
such that the raised collar end of the grommet fits inside the housing. See Figure 22. D-Sub
Plug Assembly on page 65.
NOTE: For composite airframe installations, the buzzer ground wire should also be routed
through the grommet.
