The iZLT panels Eclipse and Vectra are available in a Lite version. This version does not require the use of the B-BOX and is thus suitable for applications where low cost and simplicity of the installation are required.
The Lite panel uses exactly the same firmware as a regular iZLT system and is this not restricted in is capabilities, save for any function that requires specific hardware support by the B-BOX.
The Lite panel itself includes altimeter and airspeed sensors, a built in WAAS GPS, AHRS, CAN interface for connection to any CAN based peripheral as well as two RS232 ports for connection to items like radios etc. It is also possible to connect an ZLT expander. This provides additional analog and digital inputs and digital (switched) outputs, an AOA sensor as well as 5 RS232 ports for a total of 6 usable RS232 ports. It also provides an interface for a standard OAT sensor (the Lite panel has a built in sensor intended mostly for open cockpit aircraft).
Up to two Lite panels can be used in a single system and they can share RS232 ports and CAN bus devices.
A typical comprehensive functionality Lite panel may consist of:
A) One or two iZLT panels
B) One unit for engine monitoring plus probes as needed
C) One compass
Add to this:
D) One, two or three autopilot servos
E) Flap and Trim controller
Also consider the large infrastructure of peripherals from Zoltaron and third parties ranging from VHF radios, navigation radios, transponders, electronic circuit breakers and more.
Please view the iZLT Lite user and installation manual for details on the Lite functionality as well as differences to a regular iZLT system.
