Panels and Controls

eurotec offers an impressive spectrum of Aircraft Warning Units, Instrument Control Panels, Switch Panels, Circuit Breaker Panels and special Handles and Controls.

Warning units are a part of the Aircraft optical alarm system. Often merged into functional modules and installed in a common housing, they signal anomalies by means of brightly colored, labeled, illuminated fields. Although the illumination in simulation cockpits is to be as muted as possible, the warning units have to be bright. eurotec utilizes the latest light sources in many of its devices, based on high-power light-emitting diodes. Only a single LED is required per field. Due to its brightness and propagation characteristics, this is sufficient to duplicate the appearance of the original units. Many of the controllers eurotec uses are fitted with special functions to simulate use in daytime, night time and NVD flight.

The choice of content and its presentation on screens are becoming ever more varied and extensive in modern cockpits. The broad range of potential depictions reaches from the classical content to special map views, radar images, and night vision images. Often this selection is made at a panel optimized especially for this purpose. The input devices can be selected from a wide range of push buttons, encoders and trackballs. eurotec offers the complete spectrum of input devices. Among these are also complete trackball units such as those used to control a cursor.

OHP01 OVERHEAD PANEL EC-135

The OHP01 replicates the original Eurocopter EC-135 overhead panel for the simulator environment. The appearance of the replica OHP01 is absolutely true to the real device, which makes the training situation comparable to the real flight condition. Using original fuses and other original control elements in combination with an authentic-looking front plate, the unit offers a realistic training system for maximum training success.

The backplane is made of aluminum with a multiple coated surface. The device can be connected to the simulator system via two eurotec Fuse Control Boxes (FCB01) which can also enable the dimming of the unit. This interface provides an optimal and easy way to integrate overhead panels into the simulator environment. The OHP01 is approved and applicable for Full Flight Simulators up to Level-D class.

APP01 AUXILIARY POWER PLANT CONROL PANEL

The APP01 replicates the original avionic auxiliary power plant (APP) control panel for the simulator environment. The original is installed in various civil or military aircraft, for example, in the CH-53. Located in the middle overhead panel, this device is used to control the aircraft’s APP-System. The appearance of the replica APP01 is perfectly close to the real device, which makes the training situation comparable to the real flight condition.

Using original control elements in combination with our unique mechanical break-motion and an authentic-looking front plate, the unit offers a realistic training system for maximum training success. The device can be connected to the simulator system via the CANopen interface, which can also enable the dimming of the unit.

This interface provides an optimal and easy way to integrate the device into the simulator environment. The APP01 is approved and applicable for Full Flight Simulators up to Level-D class.
