Effective 16-March-2017 we are pleased to release Rev 5 of our 200 Series products.

This new release features a "best in class" high resolution, daylight readable LCD display that makes the display brighter and crisper under all light conditions. Viewing angle has been substantially increased from approximately 45 degrees to a full 80 degrees in all four planes.

Brightness of a daylight readable LCD is effected by viewing angle, one of the reasons why we previously had specific requirements for the field of view. That is all a thing of the past. Our display is now fully visible no matter where and how you place it in your panel and will be brighter by a factor of at least two in sunlight.

But there is more. Installation is even further simplified as the previous A200-DDC Intensity Controller is no longer required.

Revision 5 products are fully backward compatible with previous revisions - just plug in and fly!

Wiring of the intensity control is defined in our document S200-DDC-INST and supplied with each instrument. Intensity control is voltage dependent. 0V (or ground potential) will select the dimmest setting and bus voltage (14V or 28V selectable) will provide maximum brightness.

There are a number of different aircraft panel rheostats in use. Using the simple flow chart below will assist in the selection of the correct installation method based on use and aircraft systems.
