Product catalog summary

Overview: The Lifesaver® 4300 Series is a 3-inch electric attitude indicator manufactured by Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics. It is designed to provide one hour of emergency attitude reference in the event of aircraft power failure, featuring a battery backup system.

Display Configurations: The series includes various models with different display configurations, such as traditional or delta wing symbolic airplane roll dials, available in both rotating and fixed formats.

Battery Backup Models: The 4300–4XX and –6XX Series come with a self-contained battery backup, offering one hour of emergency power, built-in annunciation, and internal emergency lighting. These models automatically switch to standby battery power without pilot intervention.

Specifications: The Lifesaver 4300 Series operates on a 10–32 volt DC power input, with a start current of 1400 mA at 14 VDC and 700 mA at 28 VDC. It features a rechargeable, sealed lead-acid battery with a life expectancy of three years and a minimum run time of 60 minutes when fully charged. The unit is FAA TSO-C4c certified and RTCA DO-160D qualified, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 7,500 hours.

Design and Features: The indicator is designed for both fixed-wing and helicopter applications, offering a safe alternative to vacuum systems. It includes anti-reflective glass to enhance visibility and reduce pilot fatigue, and it is field-replaceable. The unit is designed and built in Wichita, Kansas, USA, and comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Options and Accessories: Various lighting options are available, including incandescent, LED, or NVIS, with colors such as white, blue/white, and red. The panel tilt can be factory-calibrated between 0° to 20°, and the dial can be configured as fixed or rotating.
