Airborne 3ATI Electronic Clock

APE 5100-1

Product Features
The Cobham APE 5100-1 Airborne Electronic Clock meets the highest demands
offering all expected functionalities. It is an integral part of your avionics installation
giving you the accuracy delivered by its GPS synchronisation and security to your
flight in degraded mode through its ARINC 429 output. This electronic clock of 3ATI
size, with wide-viewing angle and day/night automatic dimmable backlight,
provides you with an excellent reading comfort and an intuitive interface.

Technical Specifications
Normal bus: 18 VDC to 31 VDC : < 0.100 A @ 28 VDC
Hot battery bus: 16 VDC to 40 VDC / <0.03 A @ 28 VDC
Integral lighting: 5 VAC 400 Hz < 20 mA

In degraded flight mode when GPS is not available, the APE 5100-1 clock is designed
to supply accurate time reference for use by the avionics system.
The APE 5100-1 has a quartz driven internal time base and the operation is
controlled by microcontroller. High-contrast, transflective LCDs white segments on
black background are used to display the following functions:
6-digit display for Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) reading,
4-digit display for Elapsed Time (ET) reading,
4-digit display for Chronometer (CHR) function reading.

ARINC 429 output (LS): UTC, Date and identifier able to drive 20 loads

Controls are being performed using the following commands:

ARINC 429 input (LS or HS) : clock synchronization on GPS signal

3-position selector for GPS, INT (LT Local Time) and SET functions,
3-position selector for RUN, STP and RST functions of the ET,

Discrete: Chronometer remote control

Turn and push button for updating of data (DATA/SET),

3.26 H x 3.00 D x 3.26 W (83 mm H x 76 mm D x 83 mm W)

2 push buttons for control of the chronometer (CHR, RST).

Panel Cut-Out: According to ARINC 408A

A chronometer remote control is available.

Weight: 1.21 lbs. (550 g)
