3000U Serializer
Avionics & Accessories
The Model 3000U altitude serializer connects to the existing mode
C encoder in the aircraft. It converts the graycode into a decimal
format and sends it to the GPS receiver using a serial connection.
It will function with Trimble, Garmin 150, Northstar, and Apollo
GPS receivers.
• Northstar has tested and approved the 3000U for use with its
GPS receivers
• Garmin has tested and approved the 3000U for use with its
approach approved GPS receivers
• Trimble navigation has tested and approved the model 3000U for
use with its GPS aviation receivers
• II Morrow has tested and approved the model 3000U for use with
all of its GPS aviation receivers
Note: Please contact ICARUS if transponder is a Narco AT-50 or 50A
or a Wilcox 1014

See Mode C Encoder Simulator
The ICARUS See Mode C Encoder simulator generates grey codes just
like a real encoder except you can dial in any altitude using the two front
panel switches. This eliminates the need to pump up the encoder when
you want to test a transponder, GPS, serializer preselector, altitude alerter,
or just the Mode C wiring harness.

The IRU-525 is a VOR/GPS switching device that mounts directly on the Fail safe design
rear of the Bendix-King KI-525A HSI, the display portion of the KCS-55A The IRU-525 has a fail safe design that uses an additional pole in the
gyro compass system. The existing HSI P1 and P2 cables plug directly relays that drive the HSI needles and flags (except To/From) that insures

when a KX-165 is used. This module also has extra relay poles if they
are required.
