    Using the DZMx’s General Purpose Inputs The DZMx has five general purpose inputs (GPIs) that can be used to input electrical signals from the operator or from aircraft systems, to enable various actions or reports to be triggered. For example, a GPI may be connected to a collective switch to generate a takeoff report, or to a load sensor to measure the load on the hook.
  • Page 22 3.9.2 Variable inputs For a variable input, the DZMx measures the raw voltage on the circuit and reports that as a percentage referenced against aircraft power supply voltage. 3.9.3 Preconfigured options for the GPIs The DZMx software supports a number of commonly used functions, such as takeoff and landing reports and aircraft dimmer control input.

    New Iridium SIMs typically require a PIN to be entered at power-on. The PIN request should be disabled. If your DZMx is sent from the Flightcell factory with a SIM installed, this will already be unlocked. If your SIM card is supplied by your Iridium service provider or tracking provider, please ask them to unlock the SIM before shipping.

  • Page 33: Configuring The Tracking System

    The DZMx cannot provide continuous tracking due to the constraints of the networks used, but can transmit position reports at pre-programmed regular intervals. To use the DZMx’s tracking capability, it is necessary to contract a tracking service to receive, process and display tracking information, and configure your DZMx to work with that tracking service.
