  • Page 18: Cooling Requirements

    7.6 Cooling Requirements ping200X 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 ping200X 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 19 • Where practical, plan the antenna location to keep the cable lengths as short as possible and avoid sharp bends in the cable to minimize the Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) (i.e. Return Loss). • Electrical connection to the antenna should be protected to avoid loss of efficiency due to exposure to liquids and moisture.
  • Page 20: Configuration

    8 Configuration The transponder system should be configured during initial system installation. The configuration items list below should be used to document the system installation for future reference. The following parameters are permanently stored in the Ping200X.

  • Page 22: Icao Address

    These addresses are usually written as a 6-digit hexadecimal number, although you may also encounter one written as an 8-digit octal number. The ping200X understands the hexadecimal format. An octal number must be converted to hexadecimal format before entering.
  • Page 23: Aircraft Registration

    8.5 Aircraft Registration The Aircraft Registration can be up to an 8 alpha-numeric code that corresponds to the tail number of the aircraft. (0-9, A-F). Note: This is typically your aircraft N-number, unless otherwise advised by the FAA or ATC. 8.6 GPS Antenna Lateral / Longitudinal Offset The GPS antenna offset is used in conjunction with the length and width to manage taxiway conflicts.
