Latitude... Displaying New Developments (SATCOM)
Latitude is pleased to announce their new RC6000A and RC7000A control and display units (CDU) to support their popular SkyNode(r) line of satellite data and telephone systems. The RC6000A and RC7000A CDUs are cockpit certified to -45C temperatures and feature an intuitive user display with large control buttons for gloved and high vibration operation. Both CDUs interface to existing SkyNode products including the S100, S200 and IONode models. Standard features include pre-programmed messages, telephone address book as well as a soft key multiple use menu structure. These Dzus rail mounted panels are compact at a mere 3.00/3.75 inches in height and weigh in at less than a pound. The RC6000A VFD display is 2 lines, or 48 characters total and the RC7000A is 5 lines or 120 characters total. These highly robust displays are currently certified on both Bell and Eurocopter models. The RC6000A and RC7000A displays will create a new level of user-defined functionality for display as well as control of customer defined and aircraft systems management. NVIS versions are available upon request.
