1. 

Preparing for install 

This document is intended to help you determine the best method for installing Stratus 2i 
interface cables in an aircraft and connecting them to a Stratus ES or Stratus ESG. 
 

 

 

NOTE:

 For instructions for how to install Stratus ES/ESG, refer to the documentation provided 

with the transponder or in the Aviation Dealer Portal.  
 
Supplied components: 

  Stratus 2i ADS-B In portable receiver 

  Cradle 

  Stratus 2i Pilot’s Guide 

  Power serial interface cable 

  RF interface cable 

  9-pin D-Sub connector with mounting hardware 

  BNC jack to blind mate adapter 

 

2. 

Placing Stratus 2i in the aircraft 

Choose an installation location that provides for the best line-of-sight between the Stratus 2i and 
the iPad for optimal Wi-Fi communication. 
 
It is important for Stratus 2i to be installed in the orientation indicated by the “Direction of Flight” 
arrow on the receiver. Stratus 2i can be placed upside down or sideways, as long as the 
“Direction of Flight” arrow points in the correct direction. 
 
The provided cradle is an optional accessory to help secure Stratus 2i during flight. Mounting 
methods and locations can be determined by the installer or pilot.  
 

NOTE:

 The mounting holes in the Stratus 2i cradle are compatible with many RAM mounts.
