See what you've been missing! Get traffic information on your Garmin GPSMAP 695/696 straight from your Zaon XRX and without the need for TIS coverage. Zaon and Garmin have teamed up to provide highly-accurate traffic information overlayed on the same screen you've been looking at.

Available for both portable and hard-wired (experimental/homebuilts), hooking up an Zaon XRX to your 695/696 is simple and easy. The XRX has a built-in serial port and Garmin interface protocols that, when connected to the 695/696 serial port, provide traffic information that the Garmin can read and display on the moving map and in other ways.

TCAS-style Icons and Info
Similar to weather and terrain info and alerts, traffic information is overlayed directly on the moving map display. Garmin displays traffic position information in the form of white open diamonds (no threat) and yellow closed circles (threat). The traffic's relative altitude is also displayed next to the traffic icon. For example, an aircraft 400 feet above would be displayed as +04. The climb or descend trend is also displayed as either an up or down arrow.

Traffic Alert!
If traffic becomes a threat, as determined by the 695/696, several things happen. A traffic pop-up screen in the lower left corner of the display will appear, regardless of which screen you are looking at. This is helpful if you have switched to the glass panel screen and aren't looking at the moving map. In addition, a female voice from the 695/696 will announce "Traffic Alert" and the unit will beep. This is independent of the voice and beep alerts the XRX unit generates, which can be used as an alternative traffic alert source.

No, it's not TIS
If you are familiar with TIS information displayed on the 695/696, then what you'll see from XRX is similar, except you will never get the "Traffic not available" alert... you are always in XRX coverage! To receive TIS information, the Mode S transponder must be in a TIS broadcast environment, which is primarily around major metropolitan areas. Outside this area, TIS information is not available. The XRX Mode C-based system receives and processes information independently of any service and can send traffic information to the 695/696, even if you are not in TIS coverage.

Customer Reviews For Zaon PCAS XRX to Garmin 695/696 Interface Cable: Write a review

Monday, November 16, 2009 Takes some time to "calibrate" but overall good by Robert, CFII from Socal from Woodland Hills CA USA  Pros: Voice alert is especially useful. Adds much to safety of flying in congested airspace. Cons: I was surprised that compass was so far off as unit was received. It was simple to resolve though so can't be too critical. Maybe it was my aircraft/metal. Review: Now that I've used ZAON PCAS for awhile & understand where to look, I'm glad I have it. I fly Los Angeles basin five days a week so get plenty of "bogies". I have to filter more than average I suspect to avoid targets filling screen of my Garmin 696. I recalibrated compass which was off more than 30 degrees & that made a huge difference. I now appreciate the usefulness & particularly the increased safety benefit of this product. Several of my pilot friends who've seen it have purchased or are planning to purchase one. Monday, August 17, 2009 Lemon XRX by Ralph from Jasper TX USA  Review: My new XRX is not working correctly, rarely picks up transponders of nearby AC. I have an old Zaon MRX that works great and picks up most AC within 5 NM. I guess I need to send my XRX to Zaon to determine whats wrong with it. Saturday, June 06, 2009 Fantastic interface, situational awareness on Glass, and excellent documentation by Ronald from Scottsdale AZ USA  Pros: Fantastic interface, situational awareness on Glass, and excellent documentation Cons: None Review: It's great to be able to see the traffic on the Garmin 696 and have situational awareness. Linking the G696 and Zaon XRX makes flight safer. The documentation with the interface cable is very specific and easy to follow. Monday, April 20, 2009 Marginal by A Customer from Florida  Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Misses Alot of Traffic Review: Misses alot of traffic or picks up the traffic when you're right on top of it. I almost consider it worse than flying blind because it gives you a false sense of security. I would say it missed half of the traffic that my TIS system picked up.
