The ICflyAHRSII will automatically turn ON when an external power-supply is connected. Afer disconnecting the external power-supply, the ICflyAHRSII will automatically turn OFF after 30 minutes.
Page 3 Installation Guide & User Manual ICflyAHRSII Atitude Heading Reference System The ICflyAHRSII is an Atitude Heading Reference System. It continuously monitors its orientation and transmits all orientation related data via Wi-Fi or Serial Port to your target device (e.g. mobile phone / tablet).
Page 4 Installation Guide & User Manual Data connections overview The ICflyAHRSII can work as relay for Wi-Fi and RS232 data. Up to 2 RS232-receivers and 2 RS232- transmiters can be connected. The device is able to handle 3 Wi-Fi TCP connections in parallel.

ICflyAHRSII (marked as STAT.P on the label). If the aircraf does not have a pressurized cabin, the static port of the ICflyAHRSII can be lef open (in this case cabin pressure is used to calculate the altitude).
Page 7: Power Buton
Installation Guide & User Manual 2. Power Buton To activate the ICflyAHRSII you can either use the provided USB Adapter with integrated push buton or you can connect a push buton between pin 8 of the D-sub connector and GND.
Page 8: Batery & Charging
Power supply can also be ensured by connecting either Vin1 or Vin2 and GND. The ICflyAHRSII refuses to operate from batery if the charge state falls below 5%. Connect USB or an external supply to run the module and recharge the batery.
