D.T.MUX Sentinel ED-112

Applications Crash protection

The smallest ED-112A crash-survivable recorder — flight data, cockpit audio and image/video in one lightweight unit, qualified to DO-160G and MIL-STD-810G.

D.T.MUX Sentinel ED-112
Crash Protected Systems

A lightweight, fully integrated crash-protected airborne data recorder (FDR / CVR / AIR) that also acts as a data-acquisition unit (DAU). Records flight data, cockpit audio and Full HD 1080p or Ultra HD 4K video (1–30 fps) for helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and UAVs — qualified to DO-160G and MIL-STD-810G.

Purpose-built for flight-test campaigns, crash/impact testing and military or general aviation — on helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft and UAVs — the Sentinel ED-112 folds FDR, CVR and AIR functions into a single crash-protected box that also acts as its own data-acquisition unit (DAU). This delivers a powerful recording solution at minimum cost, weight and size for platforms where a full multi-box installation would be impractical.

The recorder captures serial-bus, analog or internal-sensor data (3-axis gyro, G-force, pressure) alongside four audio channels and Full HD 1080p or Ultra HD 4K video at 1-30 fps, each function operating independently or in combination, recorded in IRIG 106 Chapter 10 or D.T.MUX format. Time synchronisation is available via GPS, IRIG-B or PTP v2; an internal ultracapacitor rides through supply transients of a few hundred milliseconds.

ED-112A crash-survivable recording

The Sentinel is engineered to the EUROCAE ED-112A crash-survival standard, protecting recorded data, audio and image through impact, fire and immersion. ETEP presents it as the smallest recorder to cover this requirement while still increasing recording capacity. An optional underwater locator beacon (ULB) aids post-incident recovery.

CRASH PROTECTION

ED-112A is the standard for transport aircraft — 3 400 g impact, 1 100 °C fire for an hour, deep-sea pressure and a 90-day ULB beacon required. A heavier unit: ≈3.75 kg.

Not a datasheet choice: the rules that apply to the aircraft and its operation set the standard. Compare the two standards →
