- Page 3 General Description ADL170 and ADL180 The ADL180 is a portable satellite weather receiver with additional ADS-B 1090 MHz traffic and AHRS. The ADL170 is a lower cost version of the ADL180 without the ADS-B and AHRS modules. All other features are identical. Certification ADL170/180 Both devices are portable devices.

- Page 5 (all measurements in millimeters) 14 Heat Considerations The ADL170 and AD180 are supplied in their mostly white colors to reduce the heat in direct sunlight. We know that a completely black enclosure would be desirable in some situations to have fewer reflections in the window etc. BUT we do not recommend painting the enclosure or similar as overheat situations might result from this step.
- Page 6 16 Antenna Considerations The ADL170 and ADL180 contain an internal Iridium and GPS antenna. This is a directional antenna. The device has to lie approximately flat as shown below to get good view of the sky. We recommend placing the device on the glare shield as shown.
- Page 7 As a guideline the relatively thin RG174 cable on the supplied antenna works best if shorter than 1m. For more than 2m we recommend using much thicker cable like RG400 which has shown to work well over 6m and more. ADL170/180 User Manual 7 / 19 Revision 1.00 - 27.08.2020...
