Overview
The Urban Canyon UC204 Altitude Encoder & GPS with CAN 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 UC204 is intended for customers without an existing static pressure and/or GPS sensor solutions.
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.
