MODULAR ACQUISITION UNIT MAU Expandable, and built for any aircraft. A unified, recorder-ready data stream from mixed and legacy sensors, without the wiring, engineering or system overhaul that normally comes with it. Recorder upgrades stall when the aircraft cannot produce what the recorder expects. The MAU sits upstream and resolves that, taking analog, discrete, synchro, GPS, CSDB, ARINC 429, ARINC 717 and MIL-STD-1553 in, and putting ARINC 429 and ARINC 717 out. Installs where there is room Add capability without re-engineering 1.5 lb (0.68 kg) nominal, installed in any orientation including unpressurized locations. A stackable SWaPoptimized footprint keeps integration time and wiring runs down. A 24-channel expansion module and optional Quick Access Recorder let you add parameters or QAR functionality as mission or regulatory needs change, on the same base unit. Software-defined processing Qualified for hard environments Customer-loadable analysis and software-defined processing deliver accurate, consistent data for compliance and trend work, rather than a fixed-function box you replace when the requirement moves. DO-160G and MIL-STD-810F, 461F and 704F qualified, minus 55 to plus 70 degrees C operating, 55,000 ft, passive convection cooling. WHERE THE MAU EARNS ITS PLACE Expanding parameters for a compliance requirement, upgrading to a new recorder on an aircraft whose outputs do not match, or integrating mixed and legacy sensors on a platform that was never designed for the data you now need to capture. Commercial fleets, rotorcraft, UAVs and military aircraft, with a FAA TSO-C124c authorization and compliance with EUROCAE ED-112A Section II-2.1. CONFIGURATIONS Base Modular Acquisition Unit, Expanded MAU with 24 channels per module, and QAR Acquisition Unit. ALSO AVAILABLE 115 VAC 400 Hz power, 4.3 inch EMI-shielded touchscreen with optional NVG Class A, and internal non-volatile memory up to Tell us what the aircraft outputs today. Send us the sensor and bus picture and we will map what the MAU needs to do to feed your recorder. Certified. Proven. Reliable. Global.
