Product Description
The ar-500 is a pressure-altitude encoder that digitizes barometric altitude data for aircraft transponder systems. This Narco avionics component converts static pressure into Gillham code, transmitting Mode C altitude information to air traffic control. Mounted remotely in the aircraft, it interfaces directly with compatible transponders to relay accurate pressure altitude during flight operations.
Installation requires following the aircraft maintenance manual and transponder manufacturer instructions to ensure proper wiring and system integration. Verify compatibility with existing avionics before installation.
Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
