Description

The BGH-12 is a FM RADIO CONTROL UNIT. It controls up to three separate FM radios and connects them to the audio system of the rotorcraft. The channels of each radio are quickly selectable via a rotary pushbutton. The BGH-12 supports SELCAL. The SELCAL table can easily be transferred via the USB port and freely arranged according to favourite section, recent selcalls or in alphabetical order. The list can also be entered manually.
Text and data messages can also be sent and received via the BGH-12. Target coordinates can be received from a home-base and sent to the navigation system directly. With the connection of an external GPS source the aircraft’s position can be tracked by the home-base via a continuously transmitted signal.

The BGH-12 unit features an aural signal for incoming calls, text messages and unsuccessful transmissions. An integrated emergency function is activated when the two emergency buttons are pushed simultaneously. This includes sending a distress SELCAL, a distress message and setting the position reporting interval to the highest rate.

The BGH-12 display is sun-readable and NVIS friendly. The robust buttons are designed to be operable with gloves. For ease of configuration and maintenance, the BGH-12 features a RJ45 and a RS232 service interface. The BGH-12 meets aviation standards and requirements and is delivered with an EASA Form 1. The applicable approval can be provided by us specifically for your aircraft type.

 

Aplication example

The BGH-12 is installed in the Swiss search and rescue helicopters (REGA) allowing them to permanently monitor and operate three radios, the EuroNav data transmissions and messaging at the touch of a button.
The system can also be laid out to your individual requirements and needs.
