Overview
The Urban Canyon UC201 Altitude Encoder is designed for operation with UC10x series of transponders, ADS-B, and TABS devices. The UC20x sensors are designed specifically for the commercial unmanned air vehicle (UAV) market, where low cost and small size are at a premium.
The UC201 is intended for customers without an existing static pressure sensor solution.
Cutting Edge Performance
The UC20x series encoders and GPS devices are sensor optimized for small device size and low power.
Low Cost
Designed with a "cost first" approach, this device is able to sell for a fraction of competitive devices without compromising performance.
Low Power Consumption
Intelligent internal power switching ensures sub-circuit power applied only as required.Small Size and Weight
1.85" x 1.85" x 0.45" (47 x 47 x 11 mm) and 30 grams typical.
