REPEATERS / DISPLAYS

OVERVIEW

The AGI solid-state repeater range has been developed to provide a remote display of a wide range of data.

Initially designed and manufactured to Military Standards for use in the defence environment, COTS versions are also available for civil applications and have a proven ability to withstand the rigours of in-service life. These are in widespread use worldwide.

The fully solid state design ensures the units are free from the inherent disadvantages of electromechanical devices, making them particularly suitable where ruggedness and reliability are a major criteria.

Available Input options include digital RS422, NMEA and in some instances Synchro (400 or 60Hz) to suit a majority of possible applications. Where customisation to suit a particular interface is required, AGI have a range of interface protocols readily available or can offer a complete design service.

MULTI-FUNCTION COLOUR REPEATER

The Multifunction Colour Repeater (MFCR) provides a high resolution colour display suitable for complex graphics data, with designs available for both military and civil applications.

The MFCR is available in two sizes of display area, 6.4 inch and 10.4 inch industry standards, which are identical except for display size, metalwork and backlight, thus providing for a high level of commonality of spares.

The MFCR is configurable during installation with either a fixed display (single page) of data or a multiple page display, where upto 20 preset ‘pages’ of data are available for selection.

This flexibility allows a common repeater to fulfill different roles at different positions on board ship or other vehicle. Hence the number of repeaters required is greatly reduced thereby minimising the spares requirement. A single MFCR is able to replace up to 20 traditional dedicated repeaters, leading to major cost and space savings.

Whilst a range of standard pages are available from AGI, a customisation service is also available, where pages may be designed with customer input to meet a particular requirement.

LCD SINGLE OR MULTI FUNCTION REPEATERS

High reliability transflective liquid crystal displays, with fully dimmable backlighting, ensuring maximum readability in a wide range of ambient conditions, up to and including bright sunlight.

All LCD repeater variants manufactured by AGI us a common hardware. The displays are configured to suit the particular application by adjustment of firmware and the addition of an alternative printed scale.

The data may be displayed in either digital only or both analogue and digital formats, analogue providing ‘at a glance’ trend information, with the digital providing precise information.

TAPE HEADING REPEATER

The AGI Tape Heading Repeater is based on the moving tape principle. A large format array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is used to simulate a moving compass card image past a fixed pointer. This type of display, with over 1500 pixels, provides excellent rate of change data to the user in a clear, unambiguous format. The display also includes a separate digital representation of the data, using 4 seven-segment characters. Features of the unit include audible rate of turn, dual gyro input and zoom facility.

A master/slave repeater can be used to minimise system cost on platforms which have synchro heading data. Both master and slave serial repeaters have a dual input capability for interfacing to one or two separate sources of gyro data.

  • High Contrast
  • Mil.Std / COTS
  • Dual Gyro Input
  • Audible Rate of Turn

Mechanical Interfaces

  • Din Panel Mounting
  • Bulkhead Mounting
  • VCS
