Overview
Experience the digital advantages of the Automatic Direction Finder (ADF-900) – part of the latest generation of highly successful ADF sensors from Rockwell Collins. The digital technology of the ADF-900 increases your reliability, enhances your performance and simplifies your maintenance, since all mechanical adjustments are eliminated. And you’ll benefit from functions such as signal baseband processing, audio filtering and enhanced Built-In-Test Equipment (BITE). In fact, digital filters also eliminate temperature and age-induced drift.
The sensor’s comprehensive BITE isolates system problems to an individual Line Replaceable Unit fault or a fault existing in connected peripherals (i.e., control panels, antennas, etc.). Thus, it reduces unnecessary removals. The front panel LED BITE display is simple, rugged and easy to interpret – allowing you to confirm fault status in EE bays of older aircraft without fault maintenance systems.
The ADF-900 is designed to operate with an ARINC 712 antenna such as the Rockwell Collins DFA-901. The antenna meets and exceeds ARINC 712 specifications to ensure the highest system accuracy.
