The unit provides the controls to select the operating mode and frequency, and displays the received signal strength, relative bearing information, age, and digital data as decoded from receivers dedicated to the COSPAS/SARSAT frequency and the Marine DSC Channel.
The amber, monochromatic, electroluminescent screen has a viewable area of approximately 160 pixels x 120 pixels (62.3 mm x 46.7 mm). An integral filter enables its use in Night Vision Goggle (NVG) applications. Green backlighting of the selector switch legend is provided via the aircraft instrument panel lighting bus.
The front panel offers a rotary selector switch with built-in ON/OFF push button, eight menu-allocated ‘soft’ keys and a navigation array of five keys.
The Dzus rail mounted controller housing is constructed from a single cavity aluminium box with a top fitted lid and a front mounted, control and display panel.
The 718-40 Controller Series includes variants designed to interface with the variants of the 938 Series Civil DFs. Variants are described via numeric suffixes to the Type number.
