ADF-462
Automatic Direction Finder


KEY OWNER/USER BENEFITS
  • Variety of installation options are available and provide both ARINC 429 and CSDB serial tuning capabilities
  • Pro Line II CTL-62 provides diagnostic read-out and CSDB tuning
  • Serial digital outputs offer compatibility with systems on current aircraft as well as systems under development
  • Internal diagnostic routines minimize the time spent on fault diagnostics
  • Wide dynamic range and better resistance to strong signal and intermodulation are provided
  • System tunes the 2182 kHz maritime distress frequency
  • HF comm disable is built in
  • Comprehensive diagnostic capability and convenient mechanical design make it easier to maintain the system
  • Fewer parts, efficient use of input power and careful thermal design add up to a significant increase in reliability
  • Optional ANT-462B reduces installation time and cost when installing a dual system

OVERVIEW

The Pro Line II ADF-462 Automatic Direction Finder is a totally digital ADF system that offers a new level of reliability. Regional airliners and business aircraft including jets, turboprops and helicopters will benefit from this high reliability. The result of extensive use of microprocessors is fewer total parts.


DESCRIPTION

The ADF-462 system consists of an ADF-462 receiver and an integrated loop and sense antenna unit. The ANT-462A antenna is for a single ADF-462 receiver, and the ANT-462B is for dual installations.

The pilot tunes the ADF-462 with a companion control and gets maximum use of all the system's features by using the Pro Line II CTL-62 and a Commercial Standard Data Bus (CSDB). You can also use a control or Flight Management System that uses ARINC 429 serial digital signals to control the radio.

Digital outputs are available on two ARINC 429 ports and two CSDB ports. Each port provides complete output information at all times.

The receiver also provides one analog output that makes it possible to interface directly with an RMI-36 or equivalent radio magnetic indicator.
