Garrecht VT-01

The VT-01 series of transponders are modern Mode-S/ADS-B transponders for panel installation in the form factor of a standard 57mm (2,25") instrument. Two output power classes and two housing variants are available. The VT-01 is our most versatile transponder and a cost effective solution for any type of aircraft.

Simple Installation

VT-01 is available in a compact and lightweight version, the VT-01 ULTRACOMPACT or as a two-block system with two separate units, a steering- and a main unit called VT-01. Installation is easy even in the most space constrained cockpits. The integrated altitude encoder (alticoder) can be set up to 100ft or 25ft resolution, external alticoders are not required.

Low power consumption

Due to its low power consumption, the VT-01 draws only 0,25 to 0,45A of current at 12V, the VT-01 is a good choice for aircraft with limited energy supplies like gliders, microlights or balloons.

Use ADS-B today

VT-01 is capable of sending out ADS-B data without modifications. ADS-B data can already be utilized by many collision warning systems. The only thing required is the connection of a normal NMEA RS232 GPS-source which is available in nearly any aircraft.
