New DVCS 6100 Installed In ADAC EC145 HEMS Helos
ADAC Luftfahrt Technik recently
upgraded the existing Becker Avionics DVCS 5100 Digital Audio and
Intercom System installed on two ADAC EC145 HEMS helicopters to the
DVCS 6100. The new system is designed as a 'drop-in' replacement,
meaning only the existing Audio Control Units (ACU) and the Remote
Control Unit (REU) are replaced.
Thomas Huetsch, General Manager of ADAC Luftfahrt Technik, said
"The DVCS 6100 is the ideal system for our HEMS operations, due to
the excellent Man-Machine-Interface, outstanding field reliability
and its crystal-clear audio quality."
The DVCS 6100 has been designed for both rotary and fixed-wing
applications, and fully reflects Becker Avionics' 40+ years in
audio system development for the aerospace industry. Since
the market introduction of the 1st DVCS generation, over 500
systems have been delivered.
Becker Avionics says the system offers crystal-clear voice
communication quality, a proven Man-Machine-Interface (MMI),
reliability, scalability and flexibility as the system is fully
software configurable. The main system components of the DVCS 6100
system are the Remote Electronic Unit (REU) 6100, the Audio Control
Unit (ACU) 6100 and the Intercom Amplifier IS3100.
The DVCS 6100 offers up to 8 communication transmit (TX) and up
to 8 receiver (RX) channels, an integrated warning tone generator
for up to 8 different signals, an amplifier for 2 cockpit speakers,
as well as interfaces for 2 Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) and a
Public Address Amplifier (PA).
The company says up to 6 Audio Control Units can be operated
together with one remote module. Any unit can be configured with
dedicated software to give full adjustments across different
on-board systems. The system meets the highest standards for night
operation under NVG and military conditions. The ACU 6100 is
available with NVIS green (MIL-STD Green B) and white Backlight,
and it offers emergency and slaved mode operation as
well.

Additionally, the Becker Avionics DVCS 6100 system can match a
wide range of operational requirements with a single system,
reducing not only the cost and time requirements for constant
re-engineering and certification in the case of tailored system
solutions, but also the learning curve for integration, maintenance
and troubleshooting time, Becker says. Through software programming
options, the system is both easily and quickly configurable to
individual requirements, thus saving time and money.
