Страница: 20 / 72

Video inputs
- Up to 3 color or b/w cameras can be connected to the ECLIPSE. Video signal must be PAL composite video (CVBS).
- Use shielded cable to connect the cameras to the ECLIPSE.
GPS
- GPS system is based on signal satellite reception: for this reason the GPS receiver must be installed on the high section of the
aircraft, in a location free from metallic or other shielding material like carbon fiber. For example it can be installed above the
instruments panel, near the windshield.
- GPS receiver is not water-resistant so it must be installed on the inside of the aircraft.
- Do not place it near transmitting antennas.
- A wrong placement of the GPS receiver can decrease the accuracy of the system.
- The GPS system is operated by United States government that is the solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance.
- ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Flybox® GPS receiver is supplied with a 3-poles shielded cable, connect it to
CON1
ECLIPSE connector as follows:
- RED WIRE to pin# 16
- BLACK WIRE to pin #17
- COPPER SHIELD to pin #5
Altitude serial out for transponder connection
If you use a transponder with serial input for receiving the altitude data, it can be connected to the Eclipse by following this steps:
- Ensure there is a shared ground between the Eclipse and the transponder.
- Wire a serial transmit line, using shielded cable, from the Eclipse (pin#18 of CON1 connector) to the respective receive
connection on the transponder. The serial out of the Eclipse is RS232 type, refer to the transponder manual for its installation
and configuration.
NOTE:
To have the altitude data there must be a
PFD
or
IFIS
Eclipse.
The Eclipse does not require any configuration, the altitude data is transmitted once per second with the followig protocol:
Baud Rate Message formatting Example
9600 bps ALT,space,five altitude digits,carriage return ALT 05200[CR]
The message contains the current pressure altitude, in feet, with a fixed reference to 1013.25mB (29.92 inches mercury). The
resolution is 10 ft.
