From the S-92 Rotorcraft Flight Manaul:
The floats are not designed to absorb the force of water impact and must only
be deployed after water entry. When the flotation system is armed, the floats will automatically deploy via the immersion switch or manually deploy via the collective mounted FLOAT switch. The pilot should manually deploy the floats immediately after water entry.
The ELT is self-activated by a crash force of 12 Gs.
