I'd hate to throw them away, if they could be useful to someone on the list - they are his or hers for the postage. If anyone wants them, contact me off-list.

Artex also supplied two sealant strips. You can see them in the bottom center of this photo that I took: The instructions read: 4) Install two sealant strips (850-0814) into the receptacle of the ELT. > Peel the adhesive backing from the strips and stack one on top of the > other. Push the pins through the strips. If I understand that correctly, ACR wants me to mush the sealant strips onto the male D-Sub connector on the ELT. Do you agree? Then, after system operation is verified, ACR's instructions call for disassembling the D-Sub connector and injecting sealant (ACR recommends Dow Corning=C2=AE 4 Electrical Insulating Compound) "into the back side of the plug, so that sealant surrounds all exposed electrical connections and the back of the plug." The instructions also state, "Coat the mating pins/receptacles lightly with sealant." Is this the dielectric grease that I have seen discussed several times on this list? Why would I use this for a connector that will be inside the airplane, never exposed to weather? Thanks, -- Art Z. -- https://CheerfulCurmudgeon.com/ *"If I am not for myself, who is for me?

Best to follow manufacturer's directions. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=470711#470711 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:03:16 PM PST US From: "Robert L.
