RADIANT Turn 
coordinator

 Screen is non-polarized color LCD 

display TFT Active Matrix with 

resolution of 240 x 320 pixels 

across a 2.4” display. Some corner 

and side areas of the display 

are not visible due to enclosure 

requirements.

 Unit operating temperature 

between -20 and +60C, including 

LCD screen.

 Unit uses solid state gyroscope 

and accelerometer.

 Maximum turn rate for airplane 

illustration is 5.0 degrees per 

second.

 Maximum turn rate for digital 

yaw is > 10.0 degrees per second.

 Dimensions for screen cutout are 

shown below, see Figure 1.

 Unit dimensions are 2.35” square 

with a thickness of 0.75”, not 

including connector height.

 Screen display mode is transmis-

sive, normally deep black. This 

means that in the absence of 

backlighting, you will not be able 

to read the screen.

 Screen contrast ratio is minimum 

of 640.

 Screen luminance is minimum of 

450 cd/M2 at full brightness.

 Screen viewing angle is up to 80 

degrees.

 Tactile switch input is provided 

for calibration.

 Voltage level information is 

provided for ship power. Voltage 

range is provided between 10 

and 36 volts.

 Two connectors are provided for 

attaching power, probes, and 

dimming input.

The Belite RADIANT RTCC is de-

signed to show simultaneous turn 

(yaw) and bank (roll) information. 

Yaw information is derived from a 

solid state gyroscope. Roll informa-

tion is derived from a solid state 

accelerometer.

All of this information is presented 

digitally and graphically on a single 

vivid LCD screen. The instrument fits 

in a standard 2.25” enclosure.

This instrument will automatically 

stabilize and provide the pilot with 

information regardless of initial 

position, acceleration, or attitude.

FEATURES

 Brilliant daylight readable LCD 

display

 Provides current yaw in illustra-

tive (airplane) format, along with 

degrees per second in digital 

format.

 Comes out of reset from any 

flight attitude – gyroscope does 

not lose reference lock.

 Provides current roll via an illus-

trative bubble format.

 Display is “sunglass friendly” -- 

bright; readable with polarized 

glasses.

 Works between -20C and +60C

SPECIFICATIONS

 Weighs 1.6 ounces (50 grams)
 Requires 10 to 36 volts < 100ma 

@ full screen brightness. When 

screen is dim, power consump-

tion of unit is approximately 

15ma @ 28V.
