Ack has an “X” in the environmental qualification for radiated immunity (EMI), and oddly enough, have a reputation for activating randomly…. See attachedWhy?

Add me to the ACK POS list! I have had enough false activation that I keep AFRCC in my favorites contacts just in case. It probably happens once every 2 months. Almost always on turning master off so I'm guess electrical interference.
Luckily most of the time I catch it within about 3 seconds and they never get a signal.
Great. I haven't even installed mine yet.
Save yourself the frustration. Pick up the Artex. Easier installation, more reliable, better design. No comparison at all. I'm vocal about this every time the topic comes up because my experience with the ACK was so terrible.
I will check with Advanced since mine plugs into the ACM and I already mounted the annunciator in the panel. I may just use it and make this round two when there's some money saved up. No one will buy the ACK so I might as well get some use out of it.
