Radiant introduces 8+ function universal instrument

Radiant Technology has introduced a significant update to its Universal Multi-Function Instrument. The instrument now has eight functions on one screen and an improved dial representation. The unit is ideal as an ultra-lightweight, ultra-thin primary or backup instrument in experimental or ultralight aircraft and can be purchased in either a 2 ¼” or 3 1/8” panel cutout.

The following functions are included:

- Indicated Airspeed

- True Airspeed

- Digital Altitude

- Analog (Dial) Representation of Airspeed

- Analog (Dial) Representation of Altitude

- Digital VSI

- Settable Kollsman (current pressure)

- Outside Air Temperature

- System Voltage

- Density Altitude

Almost all these functions are included in one bright, high-contrast screen presentation.

Pushing a button presents a secondary ‘Altimeter Focus’ screen, which shows the current density altitude in a conventional dial format.

James Wiebe, CEO of Radiant, said: “This instrument brilliantly presents Indicated and True Airspeed, along with Altitude and VSI and Voltage and Outside Air Temperature in an easy-to-read and concise format. A second page of information contains an enhanced dial Altimeter and Density Altitude calculation. For $399.00, this is the least expensive way to pack eight instruments into a 2 ¼” or 3 1/8” standard panel cutout.”

The included air computer calculates True Airspeed based on pressure, altitude, and temperature. Computed Density Altitude is a bonus for safety consciousness. A harness for the external temperature is included. Furthermore, a one-time setup procedure allows customization of 100 or 200 Knots or MPH speed ranges and Fahrenheit vs. Celsius.
