  • What is PCAS? What does it all mean? Understanding PCAS: PCAS, which stands for Portable Collision Avoidance System, is a trademark of Zaon Flight Systems for technology similar in function to TCAS (Traffic and Collision Avoidance System). TCAS is the industry standard for commercial collision avoidance systems. The original PCAS technology was developed by Zaon in 1999. Now, the MRX/XRX line of collision avoidance systems incorporates the fourth generation of PCAS technology. Through this technology, transponder-equipped aircraft are detected and ranged, and the altitude is decoded. PCAS G4 technology has advanced to the point that highly accurate range, relative altitude, and quadrant direction can be accurately detected in a portable, all-in-one cockpit device.

  • It is small but packs a punch!:Don't let the tiny size fool you

    Sure, it's small. At 2.5" (65mm) W x 4.2" (107mm) D x 0.6" (17mm) 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.

  • Loaded with Features: 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 re-engineered 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.
