Electronic Rotating Beacon 2 - Our new development with Intelligent Synchronization and FLARM-Interface

The technology carries on - so we developed the new ERB2 for you. With LEDs of the newest generation we were able to boost the brightness of about 25%. Simultaneously we reduced the power consumption remarkably. This makes an efficiency enhancement of about 50%!

As worlds first we integrated a FLARM-Interface in an anti collision light for motorized aircraft in order to increase the visibility and therefore the safety in the airspace. The  Power-FLARM unit provided signals increase the light pulses of the ERB2 and therefore rises the attentiveness.  PLEASE NOTE: You will need to purchase an additional 'Power-FLARM' unit to operate the FLARM functionality.  Swish Projects does not supply these units.  The Power-FLARM unit duplicates most functionality that you would get from the Levil ADSB-In feature, but adds the additional flashing light function.

As a matter of course all our LED position lights / ACLs are water and seawater resistant. Since the electronic parts are completely integrated in the ERB2, no black box or other items are needed.

Our ERB2 complies with FAR23 regulations. Therefore experimantal constructors have a genuine alternative to Xenon-Flash lights.

The extremely bright, red rotating sequencing light flash has a beacon angle of 360° and is visible at 30° below and above the horizontal plane.

Like all our other ACLs, the ERB2 is completely sealed in high grade optic plastic. As all electronic components are in the ERB, there is no additional place needed.

For easy connection, the ERB2 is already provided with a 1,5/0,25 mm² four-wire-cable. It can be installed on the fuselage or tail by its flange footing and some additional silicone.

A detailed installation instruction and shrinking tubes are included.

FLARM-Interface

As worlds first we integrated a FLARM-Interface in an anti collision light for motorized aircraft in order to increase the visibility and therefore the safety in the airspace. The by the Power-FLARM unit provided signals increase the light pulses and therefore rises the attentiveness.  SOLD SEPARATELY - the 'FLARM' functionality of the lights will not be work unless you choose to purchase an additional little unit (called a 'Power-FLARM').

Intelligent Synchronization

The integration of our well proven Intelligent Synchronization allows a chronological sequence of power consumption for the connected anti collision lights and prevents battery and generator from becoming overloaded.

Combination of Position Light, Tail Light and Anti Collision Light with FLARM-Interface

In the event of detecting an aircraft on a potential collision course, a connected PowerFLARM unit accelerates the flashing sequence of the EPTA-NG according to the FLARM alert level. This makes your aircraft more conspicuous and therefore helps to increase the safety in the airspace.

The new LED technology allows an incredibly brilliant red and green position lights with only 10% of the input power consumption compared with conventional lights.

The electronics are entirely encased in high optical plastic - which not only looks amazing, but it makes the EPTA absolutely insensitive to vibrations, water, dust and other environmental influences.

The EPTA-NG is provided with an internal overload protection. In case of over voltage the protector switches the EPTA-NG off. When the voltage drops or the EPTA is reset by disconnecting from the power supply the light is fully functional again. The overload protection will be activated by exceeding 17 V DC.

To make installation easy, the EPTA-NG wing tip lights are pre-wired.  They are easy to mount with screws and coloured silicone. For a quick and easy conversion from xenon flashes to our EPTA lights there is a conversion adapter available.

All systems are integrated into the light units so there is no need for external controllers, power conditioners, or power supplies. This can provide a significant savings of weight, complexity, and cost.

FLARM-Interface

With this interface (19.200 Baud, 8 Bit, No Parity, 1 Stop-Bit) a connected Power-FLARM unit (sold separately by other suppliers) can send the emergency levels 0 – 3 to the EPTA-NG and thus regulate the flash sequences of the lights. This increases the visibility of your aircraft in flight significantly and can help to prevent a collision.  PLEASE NOTE: You will need to purchase an additional 'Power-FLARM' unit to operate the FLARM functionality.  Swish Projects does not supply these units.  The FLARM unit duplicates most functionality that you would get from the Levil ADSB-In feature, but adds the additional flashing light function.

Intelligent Synchronization

Our developed "Intelligent Synchronization" schedules the light pulses so there is no overlap of the individual lighting flashes. This ingenious pulse shifting reduces the battery and generator requirements as there is only one light on at any given moment. It prevents battery and generator from becoming overloaded.

Intelligent Synchronization

With the new ILC, for the first time it is possible to control two of our landing lights intelligently and preserving the battery at the same time.

The electronics of the ILC is completely sealed so that it is protected from moisture and vibration. Both our ELL50 with 30 W input power, as well as our ELL60 can be driven with 60 Watt input power.

The special feature of ILC is that it manages the Anti-Collision Light function of the landing lights as well as the Alternate Mode with its intelligent synchronization.

With our ILC two landing lights can be controlled in three different modes:

ACL mode: Here the two headlights are operated in the ACL (strobe) mode and are synchronized so that the battery (generator) is relieved by the best possible way "Intelligent Synchronization".

Alt mode:
In the "Alternate Mode" the two landing lights are alternating in a wig-wag style with a 1 second rhythm.

CB mode: In the landing light mode, both landing lights are switched on.

Seat rails make each seat adjustable (to maximize on leg room) and to facilitate access to the cabin.

The seats are easy enough to relocate on the ground.  You add a couple of extra nut-sets during construction and when you are ready to move the seats it is a simple matter of backing out four machine screws, move the seat base, and re-install the screws.

But, if you feel like you would like to adjust the seats in flight then you will need this kit.  This kit is only for the front seats on the 750 Super Duty.

Includes the third seat optoin.

The padded seats with faux-leather are easy to install and are available in a variety of color patterns. These kits include seat-cushions and seat backs for both seats, a control-stick boot with a "between-the-seats" cover as well as color-matched padded cabin-sides that extend from under the instrument panel to the seat fronts. Each seat back has a full-color "Zenith Aircraft" embroidered logo on the front, and (for the CH 750) a "map" pocket in the back.

The Steering Rod Swivels Assembly Kit seals your steering control rods from your engine compartment, reducing the risk of fumes in the cockpit. If you want easy sliding of your control rods and don't want any binding and scraping then this one’s for you. No riveting required if installed during your aircraft's initial assembly of firewall but all the fasteners are there for those of you that have already gone past that stage. This kit works on all of the the Zenith 750 range.

'Skytek Towbar Attachment Bracket' for a cheap and easy to install option that does not need you to drill through the gear leg.  I have this on my 750 and it's brilliant.  It took me about 5 minutes to install as a retro-fit.

These are very handy and work well.  They extend telescopically so they are compact enough to fly with if you ever want to do that.

The only problem with this option is that Zenith suggest you drill through your front strut (see photo) to insert the tow bar.

STOL CH 750 Super Duty Rear Cabin Bubble Top Window Kit

This kit is only available for the 750 Super Duty.

These should be on every STOL aircraft.  They're cheap, easy to install and they work - please just get them or you are short-changing yourself on the best value performance improvement option out there.  VG's give a great improvement in control and low-end safety with no downside at all.

Vortex Generators (VG's) work by inducing mini-tornados (vortex's of swirling air) in their wake.  These vortexes help to keep the airflow effective over the elevator at much lower speeds.

They do this using magic and stuff.

Center console option mounts below the panel; approx. 4.75″ (12 cm) wide.

It is supplied in raw aluminium.
