Very simple replacement for my older / defective encoder. Calibration was spot on.

This was orders for a new ADS-B installation paired to a new Stratus ESG and replacing a -3 version of the same model. The -9, with the RS232 connection, made all the other wiring unnecessary. Installation was a piece of cake.

This newer mod of a classic encoder features RS232 output used for adsb-in, etc. nice to have to rewire everything to simply add RS232 to an existing ACK encoder installation

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the ACK A30.9 Encoder?

The ACK A30.9 encoder is 6" long, 2.65" wide, and 1.3" high.

Q: Will the ACK A30.9 (MOD 9) ENCODER pair up with the KT74 (mode S) transponder? Is the ACK A30.9 (MOD 9) ENCODER also a blind encoder? Is the ACK A30.9 (MOD 9) ENCODER also plug and play?

The ACK 30.9 encoder will work with any transponder. It is a blind encoder, that comes with a 4' harness. You will be required to crimp the corresponding pins on the other end of the harness to plug into your transponder. We do offer a custom harness for this connection, contact sales for a quote.

Q: What is the purpose of that large screw with the red cap in the center of the ACK A30.9 (MOD 9) ENCODER?

The connection in the center of the unit is for a static line connection.

Q: Can this put out gray code 100 ft resolution AND 10 ft resolution simultaneously? I have an Icarus altitude alerter that requires gray code, but also a WAAS GPS the requires 10 ft resolution via RS 232.

The mod A30.9 provides Gray code and two separate RS 232 outputs at 10 foot resolution. Up to 3 devices can be connected to each RS 232 output.

Q: Will this unit come with an Authorised Release Certificate or certificate of conformance?

No, a Manufacturer C of C must be requested at time of purchase. This option is given at the check out screen.

Q: Do you know if this ACK A30.9 encoder unit will work with the Stratus ESG Transponder?

Yes, the Stratus ESG is capable of both RS-232 and gray scale encoding.

Q: Will this ACK A30.9 encoder work with the Garmin GTX 327 transponder?

Yes. The GTX 327 will accept an RS232 input from this encoder.

Q: What is the stated current draw (average & maximum) on the Ack A30.9?

14VDC 160mA | 28VDC 220mA. Operation current 160mA typical.

Q: Can this ACK A30.9 encoder replace the AK-350?

PER ACK: The mod 9 can replace the AK-350, but they recommend the customer checking their pin out function to be safe.

Q: I have a ack-A-30 mod level 2 TSOC88l Will this model ack-A30.9(mod 9) work with no changes just disconnect old and connect the new.

Per the manufacturer, The model A-30 encoder Mod levels 0 through 9 utilize the same mounting tray and the same 15 pin Sub D connector and are directly interchangeable between mod levels.
