The world's smallest traffic alert device (even with the batteries). The Zaon PCAS MRX is the world’s smallest
collision avoidance device, yet sacrifices none of the features upper-end systems have become known for. MRX is
half the size, 1/3 less price, portable and offers better accuracy and many more features than any other "ATD"
device. Zaon PCAS systems: the best portable collision avoidance systems on the planet. Why would you fly without
it?

Don't let the tiny size fool you!
Sure, it's small. At 2.5” W x 4.2” D x 0.6” H, MRX is smaller than a deck of cards. But don't
confuse its size with its capabilities. MRX uses an easy menu-driven interface and audio annunciations for traffic advisories and alerts. The unit boasts
a built in solid-state altimeter for "always relative" altitude information, and built-in temperature compensators and overtemp protection. Information
is displayed on the high-brightness LED display (dimmable). MRX also monitors aircraft bus voltage and host transponder output. It's no wonder MRX has
fast become the best-selling collision avoidance system in aviation.

Features galore
MRX displays range and relative altitude of the closest threat, with continuous monitoring of the top 10 threats within the 5 nm scalable detection window.
Altitude detection is scalable up to +/- 5000 ft. The unit is powered by aircraft power (12-40 VDC adapter included) or 2 "AA" Batteries (with 8+ hours of use).

Traffic alert!
In addition to the display, traffic that gets too close for comfort sets off two levels of alerts: a traffic advisory and ultimately, a traffic alert. Both
levels are announced both visually and audibly. MRX contains a built-in beeper for in-cabin alerting. Get alerts directly through your headset with our new
audio output feature and audio cable, included with every MRX. Easy to use, the simple cable allows you to hear the advisory and alert tone through your headset
or intercom system. Attention-getting without being annoying, both alerts can be instantly muted with the mute button. After all, what good is a device you
learn to tune out or ignore?

Tough as nails
The MRX housing has been reengineered using state-of-the-art polycarbonate material capable of taking abuse and keep on working. In fact, the material is so
tough that after repeated drops from 15 feet, MRX kept on working without so much as a scratch. And the smoke-color semi-translucent material looks great sitting
on your glareshield.

A New Breed of Collision Avoidance! Traffic awareness is everyone's concern, but so has been the cost of traffic systems, until now. PCAS XRX is
the first ever portable, passive, stand-alone collision avoidance system for general aviation to offer direction from within the cockpit. PCAS™, or Portable
Collision Avoidance System, is Zaon's solution for providing high-quality, low cost traffic information to the general aviation pilot. XRX is our flagship
model, providing a complete picture in a simple, easy-to-use device. PCAS represents our third generation of proven traffic detection technology. XRX is truly
a "Plug and Go" device with its built-in antenna system and built-in display.
Features At A Glance
• “3-D” view Quadrant Direction, 45° increments
• instant traffic updates with no delays
• tiny, unobtrusive size (3.9” x 3.6” x 2.7”), weight 8.2 oz.
• completely portable and self-contained
• digital range, scalable from 6nm to 1nm
• audio voice alerts for threats and advisories are included, with both Headset-Direct™ hookup and in-cabin output
• relative altitude, scalable from ±2500 ft to ±500 ft, with ascending/descending indicator
• designed for metal, composite or fabric-covered airframes, high- or low-wing
• displays top three intruders
• a built-in altimeter, a built-in compass, and built-in turn/bank and internal thermal sensing provide the highest, real-time accuracy available
• built-in directional antenna
• menu-driven interface, with selectable aircraft profiles and advanced calibration options
• displays the local squawk code, pressure altitude, bank angle, bearing and temperature
• integrates with third-party moving map and EFIS systems, including Garmin, Blue Mountain, and others.
So, what can XRX do for you?
|
The one that gives direction
An industry first, XRX detects threat aircraft direction from within your cockpit using a cutting-edge, proprietary, self-contained antenna design.
With direction, locating and identifying traffic is simple and easy, and traffic information is "three-dimensional", which means it can be displayed
on third-party systems, such as moving map GPS devices. Read more about this below.

Don't let the tiny size fool you
XRX was designed to be placed on the glareshield. Yet despite its incredibly small and self-contained, XRX sacrifices none of the accuracy found in
much more expensive, installed systems. The unit is only 3.9” (100mm) wide, 3.6” (93mm) deep, and 2.7” (69mm) tall. The majority of the height is for
the enclosed antenna array.In most cases, the unit sits below the visual line of the propeller, out of the pilot's line-of-sight and presents useful
traffic information in plain sight in front of the pilot. If a different configuration is desired, several options exist. XRX has a 45° mode which
allows the unit to be placed on the right side of the glareshield and rotated so that the screen is pointed at the pilot. Another option is a suction-cup
mount. See our complete line of PCAS accessories for more information.

"Traffic, front-right, 0.9 miles, 500 feet below and decending"
XRX delivers the three "dimensions" of traffic information that pinpoints where traffic is located: direction, range and relative altitude. Armed with this
information, you'll know just where the threats lie. XRX detects and tracks all aircraft in the detection window you specify and displays the information on
a built-in, easy-to-read LCD display. The top three threats are displayed using simple visual cues. For the primary threat, direction is displayed in a
compass rose around the range and relative altitude information. The second and third threats are displayed, along with the local heading and relative altitude
information. XRX also displays your local squawk code. Advanced features are included such as visual and audible voice alerts and advisories, an easy-to-use
menu interface, and local information. XRX displays “3-D View” quadrant bearing information, as well as relative altitude and range, all from inside the
cockpit and without the need for external antenna arrays.

|
Operational Simplicity
The easy-to-read LCD display boasts large numerals and EL backlighting for night operation.All parameters are controlled by an easy-to-use menu system:
range and altitude settings, type of aircraft, screen options, and more. Flying a pressurized aircraft? XRX includes a pressurized mode for use in a
pressurized cockpit with no external static line connections needed. The unit also monitors aircraft bus voltage and host transponder operations and
is powered through aircraft power (12-40 V compatible).

Flexible detection window and intelligent alerts
XRX sets up a "bubble of awareness" around you and reports any traffic in this window. The size of this window is easily defined using a simple menu that sets the range and altitude maximums. The detection window has a maximum range of 6 nm and altitude of ±2500 feet. PCAS utilizes both visual and audible alerts if the traffic gets close enough to become a threat. The most important job of any collision avoidance system is to tell you what is a threat, and quietly provide information on traffic that is not a threat. An important distinction with PCAS is the difference between traffic detection and traffic alerts. XRX will detect any aircraft in the detection window you specify, but will alert you to traffic that has become a threat based on the aircraft's relative altitude, range, track over time, and ascent/descent status.

|
Reliable accuracy
Following in the footsteps of previous models, the traffic information accuracy is the best in the industry. Traffic accuracy is 0.2 nm on average for range, ±200 ft for altitude (defined by TSO standards set for transponder encoders), and ±22° for direction. XRX also displays your local squawk code and pressure altitude for monitoring your transponder encoder output, as well as bearing. XRX includes many built-in sensors for razor-sharp accuracy, including a pressure altimeter for relative altitude accuracy, a solid-state 16-point compass for bearing accuracy, a solid-state attitude and bank sensor for bearing accuracy, thermal monitors and overtemp protection for accuracy in any environment.
