RH150-13 TETRA Remote Control Head

The RH150-13 TETRA Remote Control Head is a Control and Display Unit (CDU) that is designed to provide a remote second facility to the main CDU (CH150-14 or CH250-13) for controlling a Chelton airborne TETRA radio sub-system. The unit can be mounted in a console or otherwise away from the main CDU. The maximum wiring loom length between the main and remote CDUs must not exceed 10 metres.

Main functions of the RH150-13
TETRA Remote Control Head

Repeats the digital video of the main CDU

Monitors the front panel keyboard for key presses

Communicates key presses to the main CDU

Provides automatic display brightness adjustment independently of the main CDU

The design of the MMI, display and controls benefits from Chelton’s extensive experience of fielding TETRA radios for airborne use, which, because of the unique nature of TETRA networks, is significantly more challenging than operating standard tactical radios.

The unit’s display screen has a viewable area of approximately 272 pixels x 204 pixels (48 mm x 67 mm).

The RH150-13 is Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compliant and may be integrated into NVIS Green B Class A and B cockpits. Light emitted from the displays is LED white. Maximum NVIS radiance is within the MIL-STD-3009 published limits for ‘multi-colour’ electro-optical displays.

For night operation, the keys are backlit with LEDs, the intensity of which is controlled by the aircraft’s bus rail. The key backlighting complies with NVIS Green A.
