Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the APR1 system, designed to simplify propeller management for aircraft with variable pitch propellers. It aims to enhance safety and reduce pilot workload by automating RPM adjustments to optimize speed and fuel consumption.

Key Features
  • Automatic RPM Adjustment: APR1 automatically sets the optimal RPM for different flight phases, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
  • Compatibility: The system is compatible with all engines, including the latest Rotax iS series, and any propeller type, even those controlled by a hydraulic governor.
  • Safety: In manual mode, electronics are bypassed for safety, and a short-circuit protection is included.
  • Durability: The patented motor drive system extends the life of the propeller's electrical and mechanical components.

Technical Specifications
  • Display: 2.4” Graphic TFT LCD with backlight and coated glass.
  • Mounting: Standard 57mm hole.
  • Dimensions: 60 x 60 x 60 mm; Weight: 235 gr.
  • Operating Temperature: 20 ~ +70°C; Humidity: 90% max (without condensation).
  • Supply Voltage: 10 ~ 30 V=; Supply Current No Load: 60mA; MAX Load Current: 20A.
  • Communication: 3 CAN bus and USB 2.0 port.

Display and Interface
  • The main screen displays target RPMs, pitch travel limit, working mode, aircraft speed, and USB status.
  • APR1 follows the Speed/RPMs curve and adjusts RPMs automatically to prevent engine overtorque.

Conclusion
APR1 offers a comprehensive solution for managing variable pitch propellers, enhancing efficiency and safety while reducing pilot workload. It is adaptable to various aircraft configurations and ensures long-term durability of propeller components.

Flybox Avionics APR1-1

Turn your powertrain into a SINGLE LEVER ENGINE Safe and easy to use. Prevents the pilot from making mistakes and reduce workload Make your variable pitch propeller work at maximum efficiency, always and automatically Fits a standard 57 mm hole Dear Pilot, If you already own or are in the process of installing a variable pitch propeller on your aircraft, you know that propeller management can be challenging in some phases of flight. You can achieve good results by manually setting RPM and MAP but you must always remember to do it and do it in the best way. With APR1, your aircraft will automatically get the right RPM to optimise speed and fuel consumption, at every phase of flight, at every position of the throttle. APR1 will not only have fixed RPMs for every flight’s step (e.g. RPMs for take-off, RPMs for cruise or descent), but infinite scenarios worked out and resolved according to the type of engine, type of propeller and type of aircraft. APR1 has no limits: it interfaces with all engines, including the latest Rotax iS series, and any propeller. It is also compatible with systems controlled by a hydraulic governor. Choose APR1, and take your mind off everything. Some of the solutions APR1 is compatible with: Your electrical propeller For more visit us at: www.flyboxavionics.it

Flybox Avionics APR1-2

Main screen shows Target RPMs with a graphic deviation bar, pitch travel limit, working mode (ADV, ADV+ or CSPD), aircraft speed, USB status. 000 Km/ All versions are equipped with a manifold pressure sensor and through a curve MAP/RPM, the RPM are automatically increased, if necessary, to avoid the engine overtorque. Why should I use it? To gain the freedom of no longer having to worry about propeller management. Just move the throttle, APR1 does all the job. This screen shows how the APR1 follows the Speed/RPMs curve. Does it work with my engine and propeller? Yes, we have thought of all scenarios...
