I need to replace my ping200Sr.
The ping200Sr is no longer manufactured. As a replacement, we recommend either the ping200X or the ping200XR.
What power input does the ping200Sr require?
It requires 11-33V input power, with 2W average on/altitude and 1W standby.
What interfaces are available for control and programming?
Control interface: 57600bps Sagetech/GDL90. Ownship: 57600bps Sagetech/GDL90. Programming: 115200 bps GDL90. Options include Wi-Fi Programmer Adapter and 1030/1090MHz Transponder Antenna.
What mating connectors are needed?
Host Interface: Molex 0436450600 with pins 0462350001. Programming Interface: JST ZHR-4 with pins SZH-0021-P0.5.
What protocols are supported for communication?
It supports GDL90, Sagetech, and MavLink protocols for control, data requests, and GPS data.
How should the antenna be installed?
The antenna must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons. It uses an SMA 1030/1090MHz Antenna Connector.
What is the altimeter fitting?
The altimeter uses a 3mm FESTO fitting for static pressure, with a range from -1000 to 80,000ft.
What are the pinouts for the host interface?
Pin 1: Ground; Pin 2: NC; Pin 3: Aircraft Power (11-33V); Pin 4: COM1 TX (RS232 57600bps Sagetech/GDL90); Pin 5: COM1 RX (RS232 57600bps Sagetech/GDL90); Pin 6: RS232 Ground.
What are the pinouts for the programming interface?
Pin 1: COM2 TX (3.3V Serial 115200 bps GDL90); Pin 2: COM2 RX (3.3V Serial 115200 bps GDL90); Pin 3: Power (5V Out); Pin 4: Ground.
How can I configure the callsign?
Use the GDL90 Callsign Message [^CS] as detailed in the Interface Control Document.
How is GPS data configured?
For ping200Sr, GPS data uses integrated SBAS GPS, but external GPS can be input via Sagetech GPS Data [0x04] messages, including longitude, latitude, speed, course, hemisphere, and time of fix.
What is the baud rate for programming?
Programming uses 115200 bps GDL90 on the programming interface.
Does it support MavLink for configuration?
Yes, it supports MavLink messages like Static (ID: 201), Dynamic (ID: 202), Navigation (ID: 202), Scaled Pressure (ID: 29), and Identification (ID: 248), with specified rates and timeouts.
What do the LED indicators mean?
GREEN LED: ON - Powered; FLASHING - Receiving interrogation. RED LED: ON - FAULT; FLASHING - Reply/Transmit.
How does the interface priority work?
MavLink Static (0.1Hz, 30s timeout, Host/NAV preferred). Dynamic (5Hz, 5s timeout, NAV/Host preferred). Switches to backup if timeout occurs.
What is the GPS sensitivity?
GPS sensitivity is -167dBm, with SBAS augmentation.
What transmit power does it have?
1090 Transmit Power is 250W Nominal. MTL 1030MHz is -74±3dBm.
What do the LED indicators mean?
GREEN LED: ON - Powered; FLASHING - Receiving interrogation. RED LED: ON - FAULT; FLASHING - Reply/Transmit.
How does the interface priority work?
MavLink Static (0.1Hz, 30s timeout, Host/NAV preferred). Dynamic (5Hz, 5s timeout, NAV/Host preferred). Switches to backup if timeout occurs.
What is the GPS sensitivity?
GPS sensitivity is -167dBm, with SBAS augmentation.
What transmit power does it have?
1090 Transmit Power is 250W Nominal. MTL 1030MHz is -74±3dBm.
What if the RED LED is ON?
A steady RED LED indicates a FAULT. Check connections, power, and consult the installation manual or support.
What if the device doesn't power on?
Verify input power is 11-33V and connections to Pin 3 (Aircraft Power) and grounds. Check GREEN LED for power indication.
Why isn't GPS acquiring a fix quickly?
The device has battery-backed GPS for fast TTFF. Ensure the remote GPS antenna is properly connected and has clear sky view.
What if communication fails?
Check baud rates: 57600bps for host/control, 115200 bps for programming. Verify protocol (GDL90/Sagetech/MavLink) and pin connections.
