Product catalog summary
Overview: THOMMEN AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT AG is a prominent manufacturer of Air Data Systems and aircraft instruments, including the AD32 Encoding Altimeter. This device is designed for a wide range of aircraft, from helicopters to commercial airliners, and measures barometric altitude using a solid-state pressure sensor.
Specifications: The AD32 Encoding Altimeter meets and exceeds FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) requirements. It operates with a pressure altitude range from -1,000 to +53,000 feet and a baro corrected altitude range of the same. The device supports a baro setting range from 20.67 to 31.00 inHg (700 to 1,050 mbar).
Features: Key features include a solid-state static pressure sensor, English/Metric scale setting, baro push-to-reset function, and a high contrast LCD display with a stepper motor-driven pointer. It also includes a push-to-test and continuous built-in-test function, with a failure memory for diagnostics.
Signal Outputs: The altimeter provides encoded altitude output per TSO C-88a, with ARINC 429 serial data bus supporting two transmit channels. It also offers optional baro potentiometer output and a warning flag valid for GND/28 VDC.
Signal Inputs: The device requires a primary and emergency power supply of 28 VDC, with optional lighting power of 5 VDC. It also supports ARINC 429 serial data bus with two receive channels.
Operating Specifications: The altimeter operates within a temperature range of -20 to 70°C and has a storage temperature range of -55 to 85°C. It is designed to be modular and easy to maintain, featuring an RS232 maintenance interface. The device has a low power consumption of less than 8 Watts and weighs only 1100 grams (2.5 lbs).
Reliability: The AD32 has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 21,000 hours, according to MIL-HDBK-217F standards.
Certifications: THOMMEN AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT AG is certified under EASA Part-21 G + O, EASA Part-145, and AS/EN 9100 standards.
