Purchased new from Aspen in 2022 for $880, working great when removed as a part of an upgrade. I'd like $400 for it. Hopefully this can help someone extend their Aspen install.

If you're planning to evergreen your Aspen system, this is a good spare to have on your shelf!

What version do you need if you don't mind my asking? I wasn't aware there were multiple versions of the ACU.

Thx,
Jeff

Hi Jeff

There is a ACU V2 that is configured differently to allow Alt. Baro info to pass through to ones GPS unit without having to do some re-wiring.

thanks Bryan

I just did a bunch of work and on this issue dealing with an installation that interfaces with an Avidyne 440/540. I did the work on ONE connector and took less than an hour to accomplish.

I have seen differences in definition of an ACU 1 or 2. The issue with ARINC 429 output from the ACU is potentially depending on what it’s interfacing that is the issue. I initially thought that I would have to get an ACU 2 which is a lot more expensive than an ACU 1. What I had to do to get around the issue is actually better than the ACU 2.

If you want info on those issues PM me.

So, if you need an ACU you might as well get this if you know specifically that you don’t need the ACU 2. You will have to research it out.
