Accessories available for the PCASXRX
A New Breed of Collision Avoidance
Traffic awareness is everyone's concern, but so has been the cost of traffic systems, until now. PCAS XRX is the first ever portable, passive, stand-alone collision avoidance system for general aviation to offer direction from within the cockpit.
PCAS™, or Portable Collision Avoidance System, is Zaon's solution for providing high-quality, low cost traffic information to the general aviation pilot. XRX is our flagship model, providing a complete picture in a simple, easy-to-use device.
PCAS represents our third generation of proven traffic detection technology. XRX is truly a "Plug and Go" device with its built-in antenna system and built-in display.

Plane & Pilot Review: XRX "does exactly what Zaon claims"

So, what can XRX
do for you?
The one that gives direction
An industry first, XRX detects threat aircraft direction from within your cockpit
using a cutting-edge, proprietary, self-contained antenna design. With direction,
locating and identifying traffic is simple and easy, and traffic information
is "three-dimensional", which means it can be displayed on third-party
systems, such as moving map GPS devices. Read more about this below.
Don't let the tiny size fool you
XRX was designed to be placed on the glareshield. Yet despite its incredibly
small and self-contained, XRX sacrifices none of the accuracy found in much
more expensive, installed systems. The unit is only 3.9” (100mm) wide,
3.6” (93mm) deep, and 2.7” (69mm) tall. The majority of the height
is for the enclosed antenna array.
Zaon XRX Portable Collision Avoidance System (PCAS™)
In most cases, the unit sits below the visual line of the propeller, out of the pilot's line-of-sight and presents useful traffic information in plain sight in front of the pilot. If a different configuration is desired, several options exist. XRX has a 45° mode which allows the unit to be placed on the right side of the glareshield and rotated so that the screen is pointed at the pilot. Another option is a suction-cup mount. See our complete line of PCAS accessories for more information.
"Traffic,
front-right, 0.9 miles, 500 feet below and decending"
XRX delivers the three "dimensions" of traffic information that pinpoints
where traffic is located: direction, range and relative altitude. Armed with
this information, you'll know just where the threats lie. XRX detects and tracks
all aircraft in the detection window you specify and displays the information
on a built-in, easy-to-read LCD display. The top three threats are displayed
using simple visual cues.
For the primary threat, direction is displayed in a compass rose around the range and relative altitude information. The second and third threats are displayed, along with the local heading and relative altitude information. XRX also displays your local squawk code. Advanced features are included such as visual and audible voice alerts and advisories, an easy-to-use menu interface, and local information. XRX displays “3-D View” quadrant bearing information, as well as relative altitude and range, all from inside the cockpit and without the need for external antenna arrays.
Operational Simplicity
The easy-to-read LCD display boasts large numerals and EL backlighting for night operation.All parameters are controlled by an easy-to-use menu system: range and altitude settings, type of aircraft, screen options, and more. Flying a pressurized aircraft? XRX includes a pressurized mode for use in a pressurized cockpit with no external static line connections needed. The unit also monitors aircraft bus voltage and host transponder operations and is powered through aircraft power (12-40 V compatible).
Flexible detection window and intelligent alerts
XRX sets up a "bubble of awareness" around you and reports any traffic
in this window. The size of this window is easily defined using a simple menu
that sets the range and altitude maximums. The detection window has a maximum
range of 6 NM and altitude of ±2500 feet. PCAS utilizes both visual
and audible alerts if the traffic gets close enough to become a threat.
The most important job of any collision avoidance system is to tell you what is a threat, and quietly provide information on traffic that is not a threat. An important distinction with PCAS is the difference between traffic detection and traffic alerts. XRX will detect any aircraft in the detection window you specify, but will alert you to traffic that has become a threat based on the aircraft's relative altitude, range, track over time, and ascent/descent status.
Reliable accuracy
Following in the footsteps of previous models, the traffic information accuracy
is the best in the industry. Traffic accuracy is 0.2 NM on average for range, ±200
ft for altitude (defined by TSO standards set for transponder encoders), and ±22° for
direction. XRX also displays your local squawk code and pressure altitude for
monitoring your transponder encoder output, as well as bearing. XRX includes
many built-in sensors for razor-sharp accuracy, including a pressure altimeter
for relative altitude accuracy, a solid-state 16-point compass for bearing
accuracy, a solid-state attitude and bank sensor for bearing accuracy, thermal
monitors and overtemp protection for accuracy in any environment.
