DESCRIPTION
- The RCA1510 Series Digital Heading Indicator is the latest addition to RC Allen's digital instrument lineup
- Companion to the RCA2610 Digital Attitude Indicator
- The RCA1510 is designed as a fully FAA Certified direct replacement for your mechanical Directional Gyro
- It is totally self-contained and fits in a standard 3-inch panel cut-out
- There are no special external connections other than power and an external GPS antenna
- The Multi-Volt function allows installation in both 14 Volt and 28 Volt systems
- The RCA1510 combines data from its own internal magnetometer and GPS receiver for a more stable and accurate heading reading which also eliminates the need to "cage" or "zero" the instrument
- Because the RCA1510 has no mechanical gyroscope, it is much more accurate than traditional heading indicators
- Unlike a mechanical gyroscopic unit, the RCA1510 is not affected by drifting or wandering
- The unit is designed to work without GPS input if the GPS signal is lost
- The highly visible screen has adjustable brightness controls
- It has a traditional rotating dial display with digital numeric headings
- The pilot can adjust the Heading Bug just like a mechanical instrument or use the Quick-Set Heading Bug; a double-push of the HDG knob sets the Bug to the current heading
