  • Page 17: Cooling Requirements

    8.5 Cooling Requirements Ping20S is designed to meet all applicable TSO requirements without forced-air cooling. Attention should, however, be given to the incorporation of cooling provisions to limit the maximum operating temperature if Ping20S is installed in close proximity to other Avionics. The reliability of equipment operating in close proximity in an avionics bay can be degraded if adequate cooling is not provided.

  • Page 18: Configuration

    ES1090 RX Configuration Items List 9.1 Default Control Select the desired control type. This setting configures the Ping20S for Standby, On or Altitude reporting.  Standby/Off: Disables both the transmit and receive functions.  ON: Responds to all interrogations and transmits ADS-B Extended Squitter messages.

  • Page 19: Vfr Squawk Code

    9.3 VFR Squawk Code VFR squawk (Mode 3/A) code is a pre-programmed default code when the pilot is flying VFR and not in contact with ATC. In the USA, the VFR squawk code is 1200 and in most parts of Europe the VFR squawk code is 7000.

  • Page 20: Aircraft Length / Width

    9.8 Aircraft Length / Width When on the ground, ADS-B transmits encoded aircraft size information which is used by ATC to identify taxiing routes and potential conflicts. Enter the length and width (wingspan) fields and the appropriate size codes will be calculated for transmission.
