Tel-Instrument Electronics
Founded in 1947, Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp., or
TiC, today is an industry leader in flight line and bench test
equipment for military and commercial customers. TelInstrument said it is strongly committed to taking lifetime
responsibility for product design and function, reliability,
support and configuration management,
which it believes
help reduce acquisition, training and
life-cycle costs.
The company
announced its new
TR-36 NAV/COMM/
ELT/EPIRB Test Set,
TR-36 NAV/COMM Test Set
which is based on
the circuit design
of the company's AN/USM-708 used by the U.S. Navy. Its
all-digital design accurately generates and measures the
complex RF signals present in the avionics environment. The
TR-36 incorporates the latest in hardware and software, according to TiC, and provides "comprehensive ramp testing
in a user-friendly, lightweight high-precision instrument."
Equipment and systems capable of being tested by the TR36 include VOR, LOC/GS, MB, and VHF COMM (AM/FM), ELT
and EPIRB avionics.
Among the TR-36's features are high-resolution graphical displays of simulated results on its 5.1-inch color display.
That display also drives a simple, soft-key interface and menu
structure. The display also includes a special mode for use in
bright sunlight, plus one optimized for low power, or night.
The battery is a high-capacity, long-life Li-ion unit. Its software is easy to update via an included Ethernet interface,
and the TR-36 is built into an 8-pound package, with a MILPRF-28800F, Class 2 case.
According to TiC, the TR-36 is ideal for annual ELT operational checks. It also tests EPIRBs (406 MHz) with continuous
monitoring of all COSPAS/SARSAT signals and accurate sensitivity/frequency measurements. The unit provides in-screen
decoding and display of an ELT/EPIRB's position (LAT/LONG),
ID, type and other parameters.

True Blue Power
True Blue Power, a
division of Mid-Continent
Instrument Co., Inc., focuses on designing and manufacturing "next-generation power solutions." All the company's products are housed in signature
blue casing, and current production includes aircraft inverters
and power supplies. It markets its products to original equipment manufacturers, qualified avionics and instrument installers, FAA repair stations and fixed base operators. It also is
the worldwide distributor of A123 Systems' Nanophosphate
lithium-ion cells for the aviation industry, and can offer custom power solutions to qualified organizations.
True Blue Power's latest offering is the TA202 Series high
power USB charging port, a compact and TSO-approved
device designed for in-seat, cabin and cockpit power source
applications. Its various configurations can include single
and dual port capability, plus USB Type-C and Type-A compatibility. A key feature is its ability to charge two products
simultaneously at full power. That's thanks to its 3.0 amp
per port output current; 2.1 amps at 5 volts DC is the consumer electronics industry's standard high-power configuration. Input voltage can vary between 10 to 32 DC volts.
The lightweight unit includes short-circuit, over-current and
over-temperature protection and comes with a two-year
limited warranty. Optional mounting kits are available.
Another new product from True Blue Power is the TC120
DC-to-DC converter, which produces 120 watts of power
from an aircraft's 28 VDC input. Featuring a cool-running,
fanless design, the TC120 consumes less power and is lighter
than other converters. It's designed to produce enough energy to power electronic equipment throughout an aircraft,
including in-seat, cabin and cockpit applications. It can be
mounted under an aircraft's floor or behind a cabin wall.
If that's not enough electricity, the company's TC280
AC-to-DC converter may be the solution. It produces 280
watts of power from an aircraft's 115 VAC input and, like the
TC120, features a fanless design.

TrueNorth Avionics
Celebrating 10 years of implementing a "connections
made simple" philosophy, TrueNorth Avionics said it designs
and builds the technology powering the connected aircraft,
and its in-flight communications systems are aboard more
Fortune 100 business jets than any other. TrueNorth's newest product family is Optelity, which leverages software-controlled devices for the latest in-cabin and airborne communications to meet the needs of business jet owners, operators,
passengers and crew.
