The description sections and FAQ are machine-assisted and can contain errors; where they disagree with the record, the record is correct, and where description sections disagree with each other, Details wins._ ## Summary - Manufacturer: Bendix - Model: PPI-1D - Condition: Used and in Excellent Condition - Price: Quote only - Availability: In stock - Warranty: 1-Year Warranty with 30-Day Return Guarantee - ITAR restricted: Yes - Shipping weight: 5 lb, estimated - Shipping dimensions: 14X14X6 in, estimated ## Categories - Military and Embedded Equipment > Other Milspec (primary) - Industrial Systems Equipment > Panel Building Components > Indicators ## Details Not Qualified for Flight use. For ground trainer use only. ## Overview Displays processed radar video and provides operator controls for range selection, target highlighting, and gain adjustment. Compatible with analog radar systems utilizing synchro or resolver antenna position data. Interfaces via coaxial cable for video signals and multi-pin connectors for power and control. Used in air traffic control and weather surveillance systems. ## Function A panel-mounted, cathode ray tube (CRT) Plan Position Indicator for airborne weather radar systems. The unit displays processed analog video signals from a remote Receiver/Transmitter as contoured precipitation intensity levels, range marks, and bearing data. It incorporates operator controls for adjusting antenna tilt, receiver gain, and display range. The indicator interfaces with the RT unit, aircraft 28 VDC power, and a stabilization gyro for antenna platform correction. ## Platform Aircraft cockpit instrumentation system designed for military and commercial aviation platforms. Operates on 28VDC or 115VAC aircraft electrical systems. Interfaces with navigation systems, flight management computers, and autopilot systems through ARINC 429 digital data buses and analog synchro signals. Connects to VOR/ILS receivers, GPS units, and heading reference systems via standard MS connectors. Accepts bearing, course deviation, and glideslope signals. Features mechanical pointer displays with integral lighting for night operations. Commonly used for precision approach guidance, en-route navigation, and instrument landing system approaches in fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. ## Application Primary flight instrument providing pilots with visual indication of aircraft attitude relative to natural horizon through gyroscopic reference system. Displays pitch and roll information via miniature aircraft symbol positioned against artificial horizon bar with sky-ground color differentiation. Integrates with aircraft electrical system through standard instrument panel mounting configuration. Essential for instrument flight rules operations, approach and landing procedures, and maintaining controlled flight during reduced visibility conditions. Supports navigation decision-making in commercial and general aviation cockpit environments. ## Accessories Requires compatible avionic mounting bracket and connection harness for integration into aircraft cockpit panel; power and data interfacing via 15-pin circular MIL-DTL-38999 series III connector supporting power, RS-485 serial communication, and discrete control signals; standard aircraft environmental sealing and EMI shielding provisions included. ## Interface 26-pin circular connector for synchro position data input (400Hz 26VAC reference, 11.8VAC signal), 2-pin power connector (115VAC 400Hz single phase), BNC connector for video input signal, 15-pin D-sub connector for sweep and timing signals, rotary switch for range selection (5/10/20/40/80 mile scales), front panel controls include intensity, focus, gain, and centering adjustments via potentiometers ## Images - - - -
