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.
