Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my Digital Horizon last?
There isn’t a good answer for this question. There are no moving parts in the RCA 2600 so there isn’t anything to wear out. The RCA 2600 should give hundreds of hours of trouble free operation.
At what voltage level will my Digital Horizon become unreliable?
Unlike mechanical horizons, the RCA 2600 doesn’t have a rotor that is affected by voltage. The RCA 2600 will be reliable from 9 to 32VDC.
My instrument is showing a climb/dive, what can I do?
You can check your aircraft owner’s manual or contact the aircraft manufacturer to determine if your aircraft’s instrument panel is tilted (pitched fore and aft). The tilt angle is any deviation from vertical of your instrument panel in level flight. Your instrument needs to be calibrated to compensate for this angle.
My instrument is showing a turn in level flight, what can I do?
It is very important to have the instrument level (left and right) in your panel. If the instrument is not level, it will show a turn when in level flight. To level the instrument place an “L” bubble level on the lip of the bezel at the bottom of the glass and adjust the instrument until the bubble is centered.
