D, for Digital. The SG102/D Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) is identical to the SG102 (MOD2) without the analog interfaces. It’s lighter in weight and lighter in price. The SG102/D is designed for non-KG102 equipped aircraft and ideal for new equipment installs.
With an improved initialization time of one minute, it’s 3X faster than the original SG102. It also comes with a selectable low- and high-speed ARINC 429 output, which allows for additional interface options such as radar systems, satellite communication antennas and FLIR stabilization.
Software updates require the use of the SG102 Maintenance Adapter, part number 90230-A.
Note:
Only SG102 units with MOD 2 (serial numbers 11-3100 or higher) and SG102/D units are compatible with software version 1.50 and higher.
Only SG102 units with MOD 1 (serial numbers 11-2501 through 11-3099) are compatible with software versions 1.25 through 1.35.
