9.2.4.4. Configuring on ground switch (auto-gnd)
The third submenu allows configuring the on ground switch input of the transponder. It needs to be
configured, if the unit has been connected to an on-ground switch provided by the airframe.
•
Press the inner knob of the double shaft rotary encoder. The underlined first digit on the
screen indicates the edit mode.
•
Use the inner knob of the double shaft rotary encoder to select the desired value. Set it to
YES, if an airborne information will be provided by the aircraft and the transponder has been
connected to this switch. Select NO, if no such switch is available in your aircraft.
If no on ground switch is available in your airframe, the system broadcasts an "airborne"
message permanently.
•
To finish the edit mode press the push button of the rotary encoder.
If you do not know, if an external on-ground switch has been connected or works
properly, please select
<no>
for the auto-gnd option.
To leave the configuration menu, press the <IDENT> button. Pressing the <MODE> button returns to
the next higher menu level.
9.2.4.5. Alticoder set up
This menu can be activated only, if the system has been set into the <ALT> mode for
at least 10 sec. after switching on and a firmware version of the main processor
board unit is at least rel. 1.50.
Possible values:
int-25ft
uses the internal pressure sensor for alticoding
with 25ft resolution.
int-100ft

with 100ft resolution.
Other values are for future enhancements (e.g.
external alticoder) and must not be selected.
Press the inner button of the rotary encoder and
use the inner encoder to set up the desired
values.
