7.4 Additional Required Equipment
ping200
X is a “remote” transponder. To fully function it requires connection
to a controlling device, often referred to as a control head. It is possible to
statically configure ping200X, but certain capabilities, such as changing the
squawk code and responding to annunciations, will not be available when
no controlling device is connected. For transmission of complete ADS-B
data elements, ping200X also requires connection to a position source. The
following table details the functions provided directly by ping200X.

In typical configurations, the control head provides control, display, and
annunciation.
7.5 Mounting
The ping200X is designed to be mounted in any convenient location in the
cockpit, the cabin, or an avionics bay.
The following installation procedure should be followed, taking care to allow
adequate space for installation of cables and connectors.
•
Select a position in the aircraft that is not too close to any high
external heat source. The ping200X is not a significant heat source
itself and does not need to be kept away from other devices for this
reason.
•
Avoid sharp bends and placing the cables too near to the aircraft
control cables.
Secure the transponder to the aircraft via the two integrated mounting
brackets. The brackets are designed to accept screws up to size M3 or 4-
40. Thread locking compound should be used as appropriate, and the
ping200X should be mounted on a flat surface.
Note: Installation of the ping200X must be in accordance with AC 43.13-2B,
