Sky Connect Tracker Capabilities Notes

The following is a recommendation and suggested options available to the user of
the Sky Connect Tracker Series. We hope not to limit your imagination on how you
can apply the rules of the system, only make some common suggestions.
2.10.1

Event Switch Use

Most important of the options that an end customer can take advantage of
with the tracker is the eight (8) event switches. When one of the switches is
closed or opened, and event report is sent to the ground server alerting the
software to this action. Each event is defined either by the Sky Connect
Server ie Squat switch, or by the end user through the ground mapping
software or the Tracker Configuration software.
Each switch input can be configured to one of the following types of inputs:
2.10.1.1 Toggle Switch - This type of switch selection in the tracker set up software
will send an event report when the switch is closed (set) and when it is again
opened.
2.10.1.2 Press Switch - this is a momentary action switch, and sends one event report
per press.
2.10.1.3 Squat Switch - Has a specific purpose, to report that the aircraft has taken off
(open) or has landed (closed).
2.10.1.4 Dialer - used to dial one of the pre-programmed phone numbers if you are
using the 6 or 11 position dialer panels. Use of the 11 position dialer takes
up 4 of the 8 event switches and limits use for various other inputs.
2.10.1.5 Inhibit - This switch input will prevent the tracker from transmitting the
position data.
The 11 position dialer 1616-052-0X will make use of 7 of the provided 8
