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. Features At A Glance “3-D” view Quadrant

third-party moving map and EFIS systems, including Garmin, So, what can XRX do
for you? 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. “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. 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. Plays well with

Manual Quick Guide Hard carrying case
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.
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.
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.
