ADS-B Traffic Warning
Some ADL devices come with a non-certified 1090 MHz ADS-B receiver. Not all aircraft
is broadcasting 1090 MHz ABS-B and the non-certified nature of the ADL devices
means that, due to antenna installation etc., it could miss signals from aircraft
broadcasting ADS-B.
THEREFORE, NEVER RELY ON THE ADL DEVICE FOR
COLLISION AVOIDANCE!

General Description
Often pilots will have an ADL device to receive satellite weather data and another
device to receive traffic information. Some ADL devices also provide ADS-B traffic data
themselves, but can still be enhanced by combining them with other traffic devices.
This manual explain how to run two WiFi enabled devices together. But do not forget
there is also the option to connect traffic devices to installed ADL devices
(ADL140/150(B)/190/200) via RS232 wire.
Running the ADL and traffic devices together requires two major steps. First you have
to bring them into one common WiFi as your iPad etc. will only be able to connect to
one WiFi at a time. Second you will have to configure the devices such that certain data
is not sent by both devices at the same time or your navigation app might not work as
expected.

Compatible Devices

latest firmware installed on the ADL device for best results.
