PCAS - Portable Collision Avoidance System

SportFlyingShop.com recommends that all Light Sport Aircraft flying within a mode C veil have at least the PCAS MRX onboard. Risk of a midair collision is greatly increased flying in conjested airspace and spending $539 might just help you avoid a midair.

>>> PCAS MRX:
 

PCAS MRX is the world's smallest collision avoidance device, yet sacrifices none of the features previous upper-end systems have become known for.

MRX displays range and relative altitude of the closest threat, with continuous monitoring of the top 10 threats within the 5 NM scalable detection window. Altitude detection is scalable up to +/- 5000 ft.

Relative Altitude Digital Range

At 2.5" (65mm) W x 4.2" (107mm) D x 0.6" (17mm) H, MRX is smaller than a deck of cards. MRX uses an easy menu-driven interface and audio annunciations for traffic advisories and alerts. The unit boasts a built in solid-state altimeter for "always relative" altitude information, and built-in temperature compensators and overtemp protection. Information is displayed on the high-brightness LED display (dimmable). MRX also monitors aircraft bus voltage and host transponder output.

The unit is powered by aircraft power (12-40 VDC adapter included) or 2 "AA" Batteries (with 8+ hours of use).

MRX is half the size, 1/3 less price, portable and offers better accuracy and many more features than the ATD-300.

PCAS XRX is the world's first and only stand-alone portable device to sense aircraft direction from within the cockpit. XRX displays "3-D View" quadrant bearing information, as well as relative altitude and range, all from inside the cockpit and without the need for external antenna arrays.

Size comparison to the Garmin 296/396. XRX is shorter and much narrower.

The detection window is scalable with a maximum range of 6 NM, and altitude of +/-2500 feet. The tiny unit is only 3.9" (100mm) wide, 3.6" (93mm) deep, and 2.7" (69mm) tall. The majority

Relative Altitude Digital Range Quadrant Bearing

of the height is for the enclosed antenna array. XRX tracks up to 10 aircraft and displays the top three threats with all three axis of information. Close traffic is announced by two levels of voice alerts.

Following in the footsteps of previous models, the traffic information accuracy is the best in the industry. Range is accurate to 0.2 NM on average, and altitude to +/- 200 ft. The unit displays the local squawk code, altitude, and bearing. The easy-to-read LCD display boasts large numerals and EL backlighting for night operation. All parameters are controlled by an easy-to-use menu system.

XRX includes many built-in sensors for razor-sharp accuracy, including a pressure altimeter for relative altitude accuracy, a solid-state 16-point compass for bearing accuracy, a solid-state attitude and bank sensor for bearing accuracy, temperature compensators and overtemp protection for accuracy in any environment. The unit also monitors aircraft bus voltage and host transponder operations and is powered through aircraft power (12-40 V compatible). All traffic data is output through a built-in RS-232 data port.An installable upgrade will also be available.

Zaon PCAS systems: the best portable collision avoidance systems on the planet. The first to give relative altitude. And now, the only device with quadrant direction. Why would you fly without it?


Technology

XRX uses all-new, highly specialized technology to sense and display traffic as accurately as many higher-priced, installed systems, but all from within an ultra-compact unit designed to sit on your glare shield. XRX is not dependent on Traffic Information System (TIS) data but works independent of external systems.

Compatibility

XRX was designed to sit atop the glare shield of your aircraft. Because different aircraft shapes and designs can present unique RF signatures, we have developed a Compatibility Guide to simulate the reception quality around each type of aircraft.
