Strike Finder System Components

Strike Finder has two components: Figure 3 shows the Display and Sensor.
These two components are connected with a shielded cable.
Figure 3. System Components: Display and Sensor

Display

The Display mounts in the aircraft instrument panel. The Strike Finder can
be slaved directly to an HSI or compass system with a standard stepper
or synchro-output. The display consists of two components: an
Bright LED Gas Plasma Display
or
circuit board that employs
truest possible storm image is displayed. The microprocessor constantly
monitors the performance of the entire system, from the Sensor to the
Display for proper function.

Sensor

The maintenance-free Sensor is weather-sealed and mounts on the
outside of the aircraft fuselage. Strike Finder, unlike any other system, uses
Broad-band Digital
information for improved signal fidelity and inherently superior noise
rejection. This translates into a clearer definition of weather activity, without
false or misleading indications.

Relative Bearing Stabilizer (RBS)

Recognizing that not all aircraft are equipped with a slaved compass
system, Insight developed a revolutionary
Strike Finder. The self contained, solid state, gyro-less design, installs in
minutes and will require no adjustment or overhaul, (see Appendix D section
for more details).
