9.2.4.1. Aircraft address
A proper installation and operation of a Mode-S transponder requires the
installer to set a unique 24 bit Mode-S Address, the aircraft maximum speed as
well as the flight id or aircraft registration. The 24 bit Mode-S address needs to
be obtained from your national aviation authority. Contact the department,
where you got the aircraft registration from.
The first submenu shown in a profile contains the 24 bit address.
To modify the address, follow these steps:
•
Press the inner knob of the double shaft rotary encoder. The underlined first digit of the 24-bit
address indicates the edit mode.
•
Use the outer knob of the rotary encoder to select the position to be modified. Use the inner
knob of the rotary encoder to modify the selected value. Do not enter dashes or blanks. The
data must be entered left aligned.
•
To finish editing the 24-bit address, press the push button of the rotary encoder.
•
Exit the flight id page by pressing the mode key.
A correct 24 bit Mode-S address is required for proper Mode-S operation. If no address has been
entered, the system works as a Mode- A/C transponder.
